Re: Meet The Candidates: 2012 GOP Thread
Funny if your health ins was like Medicare everyone would be bitching up and down. How many of you have to currently buy additional health ins. to cover all the shit your health ins does not cover? I'm guessing none but no one has a problem paying for medicare all their life then when they need need the ins it covers so little they need to spend $500 a month for additional coverage. Thats f*&^ing pathetic if you ask me.

Not one candidate can or will bring the troops home any faster than the current timetable. End of the year for the remaining Iraq troops and a draw down in Afghanistan through next year.

It's a contrive and insufficient explanation. It would be preferable if he simply didn't add any earmarks or add them and vote for the bill.

Rick Perry: "Evolution is a theory that's out there," Perry said while crouching down to speak to the boy. "It's got some gaps in it."

Re: Meet The Candidates: 2012 GOP Thread
I remember when Palin was selected as the VP running mate and some of the Republicans on this board were convinced with that selection they were the front runners for the oval office.
The moment Palin was selected there was no just chance in a general election. The same truth holds true for Bachman and Perry. They are FAR FAR FAR to right of center. And Bachman is just a straight up lunatic. So that also hurts her chances. |

Re: Meet The Candidates: 2012 GOP Thread
I love the quote about his dad J
Technically, Perry’s first job as an adult was selling encyclopedias and bibles door-to-door over the summer of the early 70s, while still studying in A&M. He would recount later, “There is nothing that tests your commitment to a goal like getting a few doors closed in your face”. Perry enlisted with the United States Air Force after graduating in 1972, rising to the rank of Captain in a five-year career. During his time with the Air Force, he flew the military transport aircraft C-130 to far-flung corners of the world, including the hotspots of Central America, North Africa and Europe. Soon after leaving the Air Force, Perry was accepted to join Southwest Airlines’ pilot-training program. However, he changed his mind and returnedhome to work in the farm following a conversation with his father. “Dad still thought I was there to do chores. I reminded him that I had just finished commanding a multimillion-dollar piece of government equipment and a number of grown men. He reminded me that the chores still needed tending to." |
