Right now, Rick Perry is trying to portray himself as a “good conservative” so that if he enters the race he will be accepted by Christian conservatives. If Rick Perry did win the Republican nomination, he would have a great chance of winning the general election because he would very much be an “establishment” candidate.
But before Republicans get too excited about Rick Perry, there are a whole lot of things that they should know about him.
The following are 14 reasons why Rick Perry would be a really, really bad president….


Number 15 - He's an Evangelical Governor of Texas. Been there. Done that.

Rick Perry is also your typical revisionist; In his book, he proclaims that during the Great Depression “recovery did not come until World War II, when FDR was finally persuaded to unleash private enterprise.” (page 48 )

Obviously this is wayyyyyy off base because in reality price and production controls actually forced a decrease in private investment during ww2, but those are just minor details, right? It's funny because conservatives will say anything rather than admit that the giant stimulus program that was ww2 was a success in reviving the American economy...

Also, his "success" in Texas job creation is a sham.

How about this one? His job creation record is weak and him touting it as a strength is nothing more than a sham.

Rick Perry lost all my respect when he made his announcement and called HCR a "Government Take Over of HC". Came right out of the gate and repeated the Lie of the Year.

What exactly did the Government take over?

Texas has higher population growth and so almost always has more growth in terms of jobs because they need that extra growth to keep up with the population; But when you look at the unempoyment rate, however, Texas is doing about the same as New York and worse than liberal bastion Massachusetts:

Anyone that thinks Perry's job record is impressive is incredibly ignorant. That's not going to stop them from being so though.

Watch.

This Country won't fall for an Evangelical Gov of Texas again. That would be like electing Bush to a Third Term. Only 33% of Americans are dumb enough to do that again. You know who you are.

Oh you mean when he was ACCURATE in saying ObamaCare was a government take over of health care? Yeah, I remember that.

I also remember the viral videos of the Democratic Senator admitting it was precisely that. If it directly leads to a single payer system and it does, then it is. Just because it's going to take 10-20 years doesn't change that reality. We already now KNOW "You lie" was factually accurate. We now KNOW you can't keep your healthcare if you like it. What is it like having to cover for a scumbag liar when all those lies and empty "pie in the sky" progressive promises are crumbling around you?

You could try contributing to the discussion if you want.

What part of HC did the Government take over? Because the reasonable people in this country know that is a lie. Why do you repeat it? That makes you nothing more than a liar. Just saying. Feel free to ignore the question again. I'll just point and laugh.

Lie of the Year: 'A government takeover of health care'

I don't care if he falls for the lies. I don't appreciate it when people repeat lies to me. I have a very hard time having or showing any respect toward such people. If only these people who repeat these lies felt the same. To not know is to be ignorant. To repeat lies is disingenuous and tells me a lot about the person when they lie. Wouldn't trust them with a sandwich.

You're not everbody. Obama told EVERYBODY that they could keep their healthcare if they liked it. He lied.

Of course, now we know that's a central theme of his Presidency.

After getting Large Donations from the maker of it. Talk about a Government Take Over of HC. The Gov of TX tried to force specific HC on women through legislation.

Well heck, Politico says it was the Lie of the Year so I guess the debate is over... Oh wait, let's deal in REALITY not semantics.

A little exerpt for those who don't like to click links.

ObamaCare is not a government takeover, I learned from PolitiFact, because it "uses the private health insurance system to expand health care coverage."

But wait. In my research, I found that distinction between public and private to be illusory: what difference is there between a public system where the government taxes and spends your money, and a "private" system where the government forces you to spend your money in the same way?

"It is irrelevant," I wrote, "whether we describe medical resources (e.g., hospitals, employees) as 'public' or 'private.' What matters – what determines real as opposed to nominal ownership – is who controls the resources." I detailed how making private health insurance compulsory – as ObamaCare does – "would give government as much control over the nation's health care sector as a compulsory government program."

I even quoted President Obama's health adviser Jeanne Lambrew, who acknowledges, "the government role in socialized medicine systems ranges from complete government ownership and salaried facilities and providers to public financing of private insurance and providers" (emphasis added) – which is exactly how ObamaCare operates.

Were these lies too? We may never know: PolitiFact failed to consider whether the public/private distinction might be misleading.

Fortunately, others have. Left-leaning columnist Michael Kinsley wrote of ObamaCare: "If the government requires insurers to accept all customers and charge all the same price, regulates all aspects of their marketing to make sure they aren't discriminating, and then redistributes the profits to make sure that no company gets penalized unfairly, in what sense is the industry still 'private'?"

The Congressional Budget Office wrote that if ObamaCare's minimum "medical-loss ratio" requirement were just 5 percentage points higher, private insurance would become "an essentially governmental program."

Means to an end, doesn't matter how many lies you tell, as long as it gets you to the goal you want.

IF

Do you know what the word IF means? IF something other than the facts THAN it COULD BE a take over.

You and Rick Perry are wrong or you lie. Your choice. I have no respect for either.
