Big Government : Rick Perry: The Tea Party's Candidate?

Mon, 9 Jan 2012 19:17:38 +0000

Our country is in serious trouble and in desperate need of real leadership by those that are able to influence and lead others. Conservatives and TEA PARTY followers worked hard to turn Congress around last year and now the establishment GOP, from the "good ol' boys" era, is trying to push MITT ROMNEY on us. We need a real leader with proven leadership credentials, and love of country to get us out of this quagmire and morass that is taking us under.

In my humble opinion, GOV. RICK PERRY is the only candidate with a set big enough to qualify as the next President, Commander-in-Chief, and leader of the free world. We are talking about electing a man that will lead and govern a nation with the 3rd largest population in the world...over 300,000,000 Americans. Furthermore, we are talking about electing the leader, of the world's largest economy, and the world's only military superpower. For the last 11-years, GOV. RICK PERRY has successfully governed the state with the 2nd largest population in our country...a state with 25,000,000 people, and the world's 13th largest economy. Texas has a 1200 mile border with a foreign country, it has coastlines and seaports, produces oil in vast quantities, it has more clean energy windmills than any other state in the country, it has 20,000 National Guard/Reserves troops...including numerous major military installations, and Space Center to boot. THIS IS A NO BRAINER...PERRY NOW!

Americans are suffering because of OBAMA and his liberal/progressive/socialist cronies, including his collaborating RINO friends! Millions of Americans have lost their jobs, businesses, life savings, homes, health care, and even their marriages. Our country is in desperate need of a real leader who is a DO'ER, not a talker, nor do we need some 78-year-old policy wonk...who has never accomplished anything in his life worth qualifying him for POTUS. RINO ROMNEY, and NEWT...the ULTIMATE POLITICAL INSIDER, are representative of the reasons why the TEA Party MOVEMENT came into being and exists today.

RICK SANTORUM...the man who now wants to be POTUS? GOV. RICK PERRY is the best conservative and TEA Party candidate...bar none!

For the last 11-years, GOV. RICK PERRY has successfully governed the state with the 2nd largest population in our country...a state with 25,000,000 people. In addition, Texas is the world's 16th largest economy...bigger than a majority of the countries worldwide (including Israel). Texas has a 1200 mile border with a foreign country, it has coastlines and seaports, produces oil in vast quantities, it has more clean energy windmills than any other state in the country, it has 20,000 National Guard/Reserves troops...including numerous major military installations, and Space Center to boot. GOVERNOR RICK PERRY has served his country as a military officer and pilot in the USAF. Very importantly, there will be NO DOWN TIME in our country for any ON-THE-JOB TRAINING with GOV. RICK PERRY. RICK PERRY'S moral character, belief in God, and CAN DO attitude...will guide him well as our future POTUS.

In my humble opinion, GOV. RICK PERRY is most qualified to be the next POTUS, Commander-in-Chief, and leader of the FREE WORLD. No other individual running for POTUS is better prepared, tested, and PROVEN to be the REAL leader that America needs in this juncture of our history. We are talking about electing a man that will lead and govern a nation with the 3rd largest population in the world...over 300,000,000 Americans. Furthermore, we are talking about electing the leader, of the WORLD'S LARGEST ECONOMY, and the world's ONLY SUPERPOWER.

There is no comparing "CONSERVATIVE" Santorum to 11-YEAR GOV. RICK PERRY! There is a reason why voters threw Santorum out of office in his own state. Picture someone getting fired from a company then turning around and applying for the CEO job!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME. GOV. RICK PERRY has been elected THREE TIMES to governor...the longest serving governor in the state's history...he has also been elected Chairman of the Republican Governors Association!

This is a straight answer, from a man accustomed to dealing with real problems on a daily basis. Slogans will not solve a single problem. He also said he can secure the border within one year. President Eisenhower proved it in the early 1950's...without a fence. Let's identify who all the illegals are and make sure they are paying taxes like everyone else. There will be no amnesty, or ANY type of citizenship.

"We don't need that kind of rhetoric with the president of the United States," said Pat Brady, the GOP state party chairman. Pat Brady has ceased to be a leader in our state when, in the middle of battle for our country's future...he requests that we practice "political correctness" in our speech! I say TURN UP THE VOLUME JOE!

Fri, 29 Jul 2011 00:35:47 +0000

We need REAL Republican Party leadership in our state. Pat Brady does not even know who's side he is on. Pat Brady turns his back on "good ol' boys" BLATANT CRONYISM in our area, and now tries to throw Joe Walsh under the bus? Enough is enough. It is absolutely clear to most people around the country that Illinois is one of the most corrupt and incompetent states in the nation! The Illinois Republican Party leadership is AWOL...when needed most. NoRepublican politician should ever turn his back on CHAIRMAN Pat Brady. The Republican Party members should have a statewide revolt and elect new and REAL leadership everywhere!

The purging of LIBERALS/PROGRESSIVES/SOCIALISTS in our government...will commence November 2nd, 2010. Americans are FED UP with educated derelicts and their spineless "political correctness" attitudes, who profess to know what is best for us...here is a clue as to what is best for us "PHONY AMERICANS"...stay out of our lives, and don't even think of messing with our rights!

MR. DAN RIEHL, It appears, based on your article, that Mr. McCaleb has taken down his article you embarrassed on. http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_mu... It guess Mr. McCaleb discovered it was not wise to attack his audience and customers. Not only that, but I got this message when I tried to log on, in order to post a comment on the NORTHWEST HERALD. “The account jkptak has been banned by the site administrators” No explanation was given.

Breitbart.tv : Another Debate Audience Recites Pledge When Another Moderator Says 'No'

Thu, 28 Oct 2010 19:12:09 +0000

(CONT'D) I happen to be an Hispanic immigrant from Peru, South America, who was brought to this great country by my parents, along with three other siblings in 1960, when I was eight years old. I was raised in Chicago, have seen, and experienced a lot in this world. People are literary dying each day for just the OPPORTUNITY to live in this great land I call my home. There are ignorant people in this land who do not have the slightest idea, nor understand, what it means to be an AMERICAN. Our Liberty, Freedom of Speech and the Press are never guaranteed and we must always fight to maintain them. I think our students in attendance witnessed that first hand and gained a lot of extra credit for themselves. WAKE UP AMERCANS...FREEDOM IS NOT FREE!!!

Breitbart.tv : Another Debate Audience Recites Pledge When Another Moderator Says 'No'

I GUESS IT HAPPENED AGAIN! My name is Joe Ptak and I live in Island Lake, Illinois. LAST WEEK..I attended the Joe Walsh-Melissa Bean “forum” and I WAS THE INDIVIDUAL who stood up and wanted to know why the pledge of allegiance was not going to be recited…I thought it might have been an oversight. I was flabbergasted and stunned to hear the LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS moderator say to me, and the audience, that it was never part of their program at these events and will not allowed. Please keep in mind that this “forum” was organized in Grayslake High School for the benefit of the students, who were asking the questions. Furthermore, there were numerous students present (gaining extra credit) as well as 350 adults and media who packed the auditorium. I served in the USAFR’s for ten (10) years and there were many veterans in attendance. I was so proud when the audience rose up one by one, then in mass to recite the pledge of allegiance with loud and heavy emphasis on the words LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. The moderator then had the gall to admonish the audience and for “disrespecting her.”

MR. DAN RIEHL, MY SINCEREST APOLOGIES FOR WRONGLY REFFERING YOU TO MR. McCALEB!!!!!! PLEASE FORGIVE ME (Typing too much)! THANK YOU FOR YOUR VOICE AND SETTING SOME PEOPLE STRAIGHT...VERY PROFESSIONAL AND INFORMATIVE ARTICLE...I'TS GOOD TO KNOW WE ARE NOT ALONE. Joe Ptak Island Lake, IL.

(CONT'D) Turns out the moderator, is a Liberal/Progressive supporter of Congresswoman Melissa Bean. Furthermore, she has been a very strong backer/operative of President Obama since 2007. When Congresswoman Bean was asked her opinion about the Pledge of Allegiance audience UPRISING, her SPOKESPERSON (notice my PC), was quoted as saying NO COMMENT! That statement spoke VOLUMES about Congresswoman Melissa Bean. JOE WALSH will win come November 2nd. He has an army of grassroots supporters and is backed 100% by local Tea Party Groups. FYI, Joe Walsh is currently tied in the latest poll with Melissa Bean…she has tons of Lobbyist financing from Washington D.C…but as Americans, at least WE THE PEOPLE still have OUR freedom of speech, and the ability to fight back. Juan Williams is not the only one under attack. I am a Joe Walsh supporter...but first, and foremost, I am an AMERICAN. Have a wonderful day/week. God bless America. Joe Ptak Island Lake, IL.

Big Government : EXCLUSIVE: Illinois Elections Officials Caught Lying About Military Ballots

Sun, 24 Oct 2010 22:27:21 +0000

Our MEN and WOMEN overseas are defending and fighting for OUR FREEDOMS and SlimeBall politicians in Illinois (who never served our country) are STABBING OUR SOLDIERS IN THE BACK, by attempting to deny them the right to vote! I cannot think of anything more egregious that a man can do...than to DENY AN AMERICAN SOLDIER, serving in combat zones, his most BASIC FREEDOM back home…the right to vote.____This is TREASON and TREACHORY of the most grievous kind. I believe a full CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION is mandatory, along with an investigation by the FBI. My Nephew is in AFGHANISTAN right now, and I will make sure that he and his fellow soldiers are allowed to vote. Their CHAIN OF COMMAND MUST BE made aware of this TREACHORY BACK HOME, and INSURE that they take IMMEDIATE PROPER ACTIONS, complete follow reports of compliance of every soldier voting. Please make sure this is not happening in your STATE...If it can happen in Obama’s Illinois, it can happen anywhere.
