Perry: Obama 'hell-bent' on socialism By: Andy Barr November 11, 2009 07:08 PM EST Texas GOP Gov. Rick Perry accused President Barack Obama on Wednesday of “punishing” Texas and being “hell-bent” on turning the United States into a socialist country. Speaking at a luncheon for a Midland County Republican Women’s group, Perry said that “this is an administration hell-bent toward taking American towards a socialist country. And we all don’t need to be afraid to say that because that’s what it is.” Perry praised the tea party movement to the Republican activists in attendance, crediting the grassroots groups with discouraging some Democrats in Washington from pushing for a public option in the health care bill. “If you all think those tea parties didn’t work, then let me tell you something,” Perry said.“When they all came home in August for those town hall meetings, they got an earful. Then they went back to Washington, D.C. and the Senate voted that public option down in committee with a majority of Democrats in the Senate.” Perry also accused the Obama administration of intentionally dumping illegal immigrants from other western states in Texas, recalling a conversation he had with local officials notifying him that illegal aliens that were caught in Nogales, Arizona were being dropped off by federal authorities in Presidio, Texas. “Friday a week ago, I got not a phone call from Washington, not a letter from Washington and as a matter of fact, I don’t think any member of our congressional delegation was even notified. The first time we were contacted was by the superintendent of the school and the county judge of Presidio County,” Perry said. “They said,‘do you all know what’s fixin’ to happen?’ I said,‘well, no. What’s going on?’ They said ‘the government has just called us and said for us to get ready for an influx of illegal aliens who were captured illegally crossing the border.’” “It’s called the alien transfer-and-exit program,” Perry told the crowd,“trucking them from Nogales, past El Paso down to our western border in Presidio.” The Texas governor said he sees the action as “punishing this state” and urged the assembled Republicans to “stand up” to Washington. “I say it’s time to make tea parties twice as big as what they were,” Perry declared.“I think it’s time for us to stand up and say to Washington, D.C. that we are no longer going to accept that kind of stuff sitting down and being quiet.” © 2009 Capitol News Company, LLC

Well, maybe you out to read some of those polls before running your „mouth“….currently there is about a 50:50 split amongst voters regarding the proposed healthcare reform…i.e. the largest socialist agenda at the time…which means about half the US would like to see the government move towards a more socialist government…hmmmm…. As for his overall approval rating…that is about par with Bushes at the same time…and he WAS reelected….hence, your little link proved NOTHING

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_conten... The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 45% now favor the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. Most (52%) remain opposed. It's not "about 50:50", there is a clear majority who oppose the health care plan and Bush wasn't at -9 at 11 months in....Are you even aware of the lies when they come out of your keyboard?

Do you think that it would be fair to assume that a goodly percentage of those in favor of Obamacare are most likely not paying taxes and therefore getting one more benefit for free?

Taken together, the data shows that at this point voters are pretty evenly divided. Last week’s polling showed that 47% at least somewhat favored the plan while 49% are somewhat opposed. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405297... pretty much 50:50

An easy way to translate this for people who are humans not republicans. If the rich don't use it or don't need it, then it is a socialist luxury.

I do not see the connection…but hell, who am I to say!

For those of you who are liberal or just flat-out stupid "Wants" do not constitute "needs" and that's where you get confused with necessity vs. luxury.

you know what it is LATW. these people still buy in to the "blacks are the problem because they are sponging off the system" . that tired old mindset that is left over from when blacks were slaves and they HAD to work. now that there isnt slavery, minorities cant possibly get ahead, they must be sponging off the system. I have news for you. You view is RACIST if you think a majority of blacks are on welfare. You view is RACIST if you think a majority of voters picked Obama because they were going to get another handout.
