Draggingtree Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 RedState: Will @GovernorPerry #RememberMississippi and Stand with us? #mssen By: willstauff (Diary) | August 29th, 2014 at 01:06 PM Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. That’s exactly what Rick Perry did with his partnerships with Henry Barbour and Steve Schmidt. Rick Perry’s stance on illegal immigration against the Obama Administration in my mind, completely redeemed him from his flailing campaign in 2012 with those infamous words, “I don’t think you have a heart” line in defending signing a 2001 Texas law granting in-state tuition rates at state universities to illegal immigrant students in Texas. This is the Rick Perry we all knew and loved. Boldly using the power of his office to defend Texas and the borders and standing up to Obama’s lawlessness. He also didn’t let a manufactured Democrat invented crisis go to waste with this frivolous indictment. Many conservatives watched in horror how Democrats destroyed Tom Delay’s career by getting him tied up in court with manufactured nonsense. Democrats have grown over-confident that they can play this game until now. They are seeing Rick Perry take their swords and turn it against them while this incident is clearly helping Perry’s popularity and presidential aspirations.

Cyber_Liberty Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 And so the Schmidt effect begins. Perry will be out of the race before he begins, unless there is something to be gained by getting into the race for the purpose of destroying all other candidates ("The Romney Plan"). Schmidt doesn't know how to build, only destroy. He's the fellow who made a cottage industry of blaming Sarah Palin for McCain's '08 loss. The act of hiring Schmidt is not the suicide move, but it's a very good indicator of where Perry is heading. Keep an eye on your back, because the stabbing is about to begin.

Cyber_Liberty Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 @Draggingtree, FTA: If Perry is with us why would he choose a man who’s become a media darling for the New York Times and a man who’s known for his constant bashing of conservatives and joining the choir of smear merchants like Chris Mathews on MSNBC? It’s like Gandolf hiring Saramun Political Consultant Services after learning Saramun put a spell on Théoden the King of Rohan. Perry may not be a back-stabber, but he hired a world-class back-stabber. Same difference. Besides, did he not call those of us who disagree with giving illegal aliens discounted college tuition "heartless?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draggingtree Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 August 30, 2014 Saturday Politics Thread: Scott Walker, Bobby Jindal, and Rick Perry [Y-not] —Open BloggerCollege football season is fully underway this week. (Yes, there were some games last week, but this is the weekend the Big Dogs started playing.) Tonight, the Wisconsin Badgers (14) will be meeting the LSU Tigers (13) at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas. (I have no idea why they're playing in Houston.) Coincidentally enough, this game involves three states whose Republican Governors should be considered amongst the top contenders for 2016. So let's use that as an excuse to talk about them. Wisconsin's governor, Scott Walker, is a favorite amongst many here, including the traitorous Meatball, I believe. Here's a short biosketch for those of you unfamiliar with his background: In any event, here's a quick summary of Bobby Jindal's resume: Finally, there's the Governor of Texas. I've been told for years now that I cannot vote for the Governor of Texas in the GOP primary because being the Governor of Texas is disqualifying. He's the best-known of these three 2016 prospects, having served as governor since 2000. Here's a quick summary of his resume: Of the three prospective candidates, I think Jindal is the smartest, Perry has the strongest record, and Walker may have the fewest negatives. YMMV. As of this moment, my top pick from these three is Perry, but that's largely because I've followed him the most closely. http://ace.mu.nu/archives/351476.php#351476 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. Who knows, maybe Perry will fire Judas the first time he does his Judas thing to somebody. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to make something clear: I, too, very much like Perry. This Schmidt hiring pains me very deeply because I've seen the damage that has been done by this gadfly. With Schmidt running the show, Perry would win the Nomination the way Romney did, by destroying all the other candidates. That's a Primary strategy guaranteed to lead to a failure in the General Election because it leaves no way to reassemble the base after pissing everybody off. There were a lot of people who would never vote for Romney, even against Obama, because of the way he destroyed and humiliated their candidates. Schmidt promises to do the same for Perry, who I think is a fine man that would make a great President. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with Perry but Schmidt is one of most evil campaign workers out there so give him the lash. Ask Sarah Palin what she thinks of him.
