Endorsement for Rick Perry: Is Steve Forbes Bold?

His brass doesn't "ring" that loud, nor that influentially...nbd :)

It just means that Perry will be spouting everything Forbes pays him to.

Perry is, in fact, sold to the highest bidder.

Seems like he's throwing away his endorsement. Perry is a lost cause.

Deep down, I think Perry is a good guy. He's a true champion of states' rights, and generally has a good conservative political platform. My problem with him is that he wants to win so bad he's willing to change his positions for votes and money. And that is not the kind of leadership we need right now.

I think back to the 30's, when Hitler seized the Sudetenland (the German populated strip on the western side of Czechoslovakia). PM Neville Chamberlain brokered a "peace deal" with Hitler, assuring that there would be no British response. Sir Winston Churchill blasted Chamberlain in Parliament, warning that appeasing a dictator would only encourage him to take more. Churchill was literally laughed out of the Parliament building; the MP's thought he was a kook. Shortly thereafter, Hitler invaded Poland, and the UK had to declare war because of a mutual protection treaty with Poland.

Nobody was laughing then.

Wow...you nailed exactly how a lot of us (his constituents) feel.

Yeah, it's too bad. I really like Perry, in terms of what I think his real beliefs are. The problem is that I don't think he has the guts to stick by those beliefs if it costs him money or votes. What we need more than anything right now is guts and integrity, someone who won't sell their soul to get elected. My favorite is Michele; I really hope she wins.

It made me really sad when I saw him saying everything I wanted to hear from a politician. If I wasn't familiar with how he 'rolls', I would have fallen for it. :/

I really don't think Americans are ready for what we 'need'....

No question; that's why some of them "roll." The big issue is that no GOP or Obama can win the presidency on their core voting base alone. Whoever wins the general election has to capture a decent percentage of moderates. Since the economy is so bad, most moderates will blame it on Obama. So the GOP can afford to be gutsy and stick to real conservatism. Centrist anger at Obama may outweigh their fear of "what we need" (several decades of fiscal austerity to pay off the official debt, and mass abrogation of the off balance sheet debt by restructuring social system liabilities and ending full faith and credit guarantees for federal agency liabilities). I admit mass cutbacks of federal headcount, mass broadening of the tax base, and draconian federal social system reform (lower benefits and needs testing) are terrifying to alot of people, but if we don't do it we're going to collapse. Our total national debt, official plus off balance sheet, is now $105 trillion, or 700% of GNP. That's $340,000 per American, including children. We are simply running out of time. If the crisis is allowed to grow too much bigger, no solution will work.

Everybody, for now, is entitled to their own opinion. Well I guess that is unless you are liberal. Then your opinion does not count or is wrong unless you agree with their opinion.

Does anyone really base his/her vote on these endorsements, anyway?

I certainly don't. I don't care who endorses who. I make up my own mind. I hope I'm not the only one.

At least we now know which candidate will be best for Wall St. !

Well we need to do away with the unconstiutional income tax and Audit or Abolish the Federal Reserve..People really need to do the research..Also we are going to have to end the damn foreign aid, get rid of the illegials, get rid of the welfare state, the damn UN and enact the humble foreign policy that W promised in 2000! I just hope I don't have to hold my nose when I vote like I did in 2008!!

We'll just have to see how this is going to go.

Yep....Oprah got Obama elected

That doesn't surprise me in the least. I never could stand her either.

Neither could I....ewww

Ewwww is the right word for that woman all right. LOL! Every time I see her it's like stepping in something really gross!

LOL

Im saying this, but thinking some of both. With all the controversy that involves money, for him to spread that is almost as bad as putting your finger in a electrical socket.

LOL

I think its cool as heck..

Ill give him brass for this move though. LOL

Living up North.... I pegged him for a Romney fan.....but I guess I was wrong?

Who knew? LOL

Strange thing are happening in this country these days. There is no telling who will do anything right now. LOL

Maybe Perry endorsed Steve Forbes when he ran for President? I'll have to look that up...

That very well might have happened. They do that kind of thing for each other.

Steve may also want a job in the White House too....lol

That idea is always an option with them LOL He has the ambition for it.

I wish the GOP would hurry up and pick! LOL

I wish the primaries were now. :) I hate waiting.

You are so right. They do need to hurry up and come on with it. The waiting has me on edge of my seat now too LOL

I listen to Michael Berry during my commute. He keeps it interesting.

56lady~PWCM~JLA listens to him too. ( Houston area)
