Sheriff Joe will make Mittens wear his pink magic underwear.

3 I still don't think Perry will get the coveted "Poppin' Fresh" endorsement...he's just not squishy enough, darn it. I mean, he hasn't even come out with an amnesty program yet....

The Right People are all in for Mutt Romney and The Newt. Perry just isn't One of Us.

4 Good endorsement, I think.  But why campaign in NH?  Do they care about this issue... moreover, are they conservative on it? 

5 I love how they send the ethnically apropriate journo in for the story.

We'd be better off voting for Romney who isn't quite but mostly for Socialism.

Yeah.

9 Guess what? Gay issues infiltrate the GOP again. Homosexual marriage will be front and center at the time of the NH primary. Thanks to the NH legislature.

10 Sorry, not an Arpaio fanboy. He's what he is due to self promotion more than anything else. I don't think this endorsement will help Perry enough to get him back in this race.

12 6  Yeah, let's match up the Sheriffs Arpaio and Biden and see the end result.

Hah! Sheriff Biden would come out of that encounter looking like Steven Tyler after his bout with with a porcelain sparring partner.

13 In other news, Rick Perry still gave known illegals cheaper education.

14 #4

I agree. Wouldn't this be a more helpful endorsement to use in say SC or FL?

15 Perry just fell too quickly and made mistakes that would probably hurt him in the general. The people the vaulted him to the top of the polls who left him in the subsequent weeks, probably aren't coming back to Perry without someone huge happening.

I think it is between Romney and the only non-Romney left with a chance to win the nomination, Newt.

16 Stay tuned, gang.  On Monday I'm going to get Tom Tancredo to shoot an undocumented college student illegal alien on live TV while shouting "this one's for Rick!"

17 Each non-Romney has made a mistake including Perry with his "heartless" comment. Newt will be the guy until he does something stupid also.

18 Perry? According to the Ricochet podcast, Republicans are supposed to march with Pad Caddell and jump on board the Hillary! train, for some stupid fucking reason which escapes mention, as well as logic, history, and sense.

I think that may be a new low - conservatives looking to an incompetent doctrinaire socialist for salvation.

19 Arpaio is a piece of @%#$ regardless of how much his rhetoric is pleasing to the base, he is no paladin of border security, he is a jumped up hick potentate who manages to regularily disappear large sums from his budget without a trace, somehow manages to go all hands off when his department engages in smuggling, likes to insert his cronies in oversight positions and has taken to intimidating his political opponents including judges with police harassment. On top of all of this just look at Maricopa County crime statistics, and then compare them to counties that are actually on the border. My respect for Perry just went down a little bit.

20 We have been boned enough already by the libs' encouragement of a Hispanic sub-class dependent on the government teat.  I cannot begin to imagine the racist screams if the correct solution was attempted (deportation as time permits, the immediate cessation of benefits, an end to the anchor baby scam, prosecution for ID fraud (an immediate deportation offense), and prosecution of employers that give jobs to illegals)

Much as I hate to say this, Newt has a point in that we will never convince enough of the public to do any of this.  We might, just might, be able to grant red card non-voting status to long term illegal residents without criminal records.  I have no workable idea as to how you would be able to do this given the state of lawfare and seemingly infinite resources possessed by the liberals (and George Soros).  But Newt's idea offers a discussion with a proposed solution that just might be implementable.

In the meantime, make sure your kids and grand-kids take Spanish as a second language with Mandarin as the third choice.  Engrish and Spanglish in a pinch.

21 I really need a place to go...

22 Off Topic! To Colin Powell, "Shut the fuck up and eat your big ass biscuit!" He's such a fucking weak heart.

24 Arpaio is a little Mussolini lording over his petty fiefdom. His demagoguery doesn't change my mind about Perry one bit.

Posted by: Jay Guevara at November 27, 2011 03:10 PM (kTXf4)

Great idea, but isn't he, like our fearless leader, a citizen of the world?  This leads to some creative ideas on how best to deport him though!

29

Fuck amnesty.

I have no problems with Mexicans but they mix with South American gangs (like Mara Salvatruca) and that's bad news.

MS-13 has bragged about how they have infiltrated the Marines, just so you know.

30 perry didn't give illegals anything...the texas legislature overwhelmingly voted that perk in and that legislature was overwhelmingly republican and the benefit was for texas state schools for illegals that met certain criteria...from the star telegram editorial by d. a. sharpe, director of communications, wise county republican party: "The legislation provided for illegal immigrants to pay the in-state residential rates in Texas colleges and universities (assuming they meet other entrance requirements), as long as such applicants have (1) resided in Texas for at least three years, (2) graduated from a Texas high school and (3) can prove work is being accomplished toward their U.S. citizenship." and: "Illegal immigrant students in Texas do not receive free college tuition."

31 32 They are known to be illegal. Deport them.

32 >>Arpaio is a piece of @%#$ regardless of how much his rhetoric is pleasing to the base, he is no paladin of border security, he is a jumped up hick potentate who manages to regularily disappear large sums from his budget without a trace, somehow manages to go all hands off when his department engages in smuggling, likes to insert his cronies in oversight positions and has taken to intimidating his political opponents including judges with police harassment. On top of all of this just look at Maricopa County crime statistics, and then compare them to counties that are actually on the border. << So, Roy... You must live in AZ, huh?

33 I love (The Real) Sheriff Joe, but I must ask an uncomfortable question.  Who is paying for him to campaign for Perry in NH?  I hope it's Perry's campaign paying for that travel.  Even if that were the case, is Sheriff Joe doing so on his own time, or on the clock?

I don't give a damn about "hypocrisy" when it comes to personal matters that should remain private, but when it involves taxpayer money I'd prefer to see a high standard set and met (not that I'm implying that Sheriff Joe is improper here; I just don;t know).

34 I hope that Sheriff Joe is the cure for sand in the vagina. But I don't know, many people are still super butt hurt over the "heartless" comment that they are willing to support even bigger "immigration squishes" over Perry, because it's all about feelings.

35 perry didn't give illegals anything...

Shh.  He's rolling.

36 I have a good friend who used to live in the Phoenix area and he pretty much confirms what roy says about Arpaio.  He is a little tinpot dictator, not a conservative to be emulated.

37 I always had the impression that Colin Powell was the politically correct face of Desert Storm. PS Colin Powell "Shut the fuck up and eat your big ass biscuit!"

38 33 Last time I checked Governors can't deport anyone. Also, Perry couldn't veto the law, so opposing it would have done nothing. I challenge anyone on the Newt bandwagon to explain just how he is any better on this issue than Perry. Seems to me it's just a stylistic choice. That's fine, style is important, but don't pretend Newt is some border hawk.

39

Posted by: BSR at November 27, 2011 03:26 PM (BH4RQ)

Well, to the extent that they all say "border security first", they are all border hawks.

It is a two-part problem.  First, how to secure the border.  Second, what to do with the illegals already here.  #1 is obvious.  #2, less so.

40 I guess this is why Perry got 0.0% of the Hispanic vote in that last survey.

41 14 In other news, Rick Perry still gave known illegals cheaper education.

Along with Sooners. 

Because Texas could afford and the people of Texas wanted it.  Twice. 

I'd gladly stack up Perry's record on higher ed against the Mittster's. 

42 Meh.

43 Obama is a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure.

Never gets old.

44 41: I agree with you, I just don't get how a comment that hurt people's feelings makes Perry soft, when Newt seems much more likely to embrace some sort of amnesty. I think ppl are justifiably concerned with Perry's lack of style, and are convincing themselves Newt is someone who he isn't.

45 The concern about Arpaio and Perry upstream is amusing, and transparent.

*giggle*

--Yup.

47 I'm still hoping for a Perry surge but I may have to resign myself to supporting Newt.  Neither generates any real enthusiasm for me anymore, even though I was excited about Perry before he embarked on his serious of gaffes and unforced errors.

At this point I'm just hoping I don't have to pull the lever for Willard in the general.  But if I do, I will.

48 series, not serious

49 It's the same thing with Jan Brewer... Everyone outside of AZ thinks she's sooo much the shit for signing SB1070. She waited until the *last minute* on that Thursday, to sign it into law and that was *before* La Raza and Eric Holder's Justice Department had their freak-out. I guaran-damn-tee, she would NEVER have signed it if she had an inkling of how over-the-top, hysterical the reaction would be. Not in a million years. Sure, she's riding the tiger now but she didn't jump on and grab those ears as a deliberate choice. Eh, I honestly don't know which is worse. Having big sis, Janet Napolitano as the Governor of my State or inflicting her on EVERYONE as a fed.

Here we go again, Perry doesn't have a game show host personality, so screw him.

52 There are still too many not-Romneys.

53 Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure.

54 On Tuesday I'm going to stand on a blocked-off section of I-10 in El Paso with a rifle and scope and personally mow down people in Juarez.

On Wednesday my campaign will be proud to announce the endorsement of Zombie Jack Pershing.

55 Eh, I still like Perry, a helluva lot! I won't let any endorsements from the political type jack-asses from my state that I know and loathe so well, cloud my judgement. He can't help it if they like to say nice things about him.

56 I really wish it wasn't Texas Perry is governor of, because of the suspicions that he will just be seen as a Bush Lite, compounded by his poor debate showings too.

Although, if it can't be him better Newt than Romney.  I'd vote for Newt but I would never vote for that fuckstick Romney.

57 Rick Perry, bitch

58 "Perry has since walked back that statement, saying on several occasions that it was “inappropriate” and “insulting.” Also admitted it was "arrogant."

Thank you for your support.

60 Perrymentum!!!!

61 I like him best, but he's not going to win.

62  
  Even this far out, I worry about the perceived Romney apathy, as evidenced by his poll data.  If this holds, then he will lose in the general. And that will preclude the unassailable majority needed to prevent the Dems from being spoilers. We need the Presidency and both House plus Senate in order to commence dismantling current legislation and regulations.

  Y'all know what will happen if we fail. Just not at all sure ABO will work with Romney.

63 Sorry- this is a circling the drain move if there ever was one. Purely boob bait for the bubba's. Perry , who I really liked on paper, was cursed by the fact that you need to be articulate and quick to be President. He is neither.

64

You people are fucking retarded.

I'm gonna Youtube me some "Tombstone."

Dammit, I'm pissed.

Posted by: Barack 0bama at November 27, 2011 03:51 PM (QaKuj)

LOL, I know I know, but I'm from New York, so my vite isn't worth a pile of shit in the Presidential election.

But you know, it pisses me off, the best opportunity to put a real conservative in there and the best option we have is Obama Lite Mittens?

That's why I'm torn, we might be better off getting back the senate and strengthening our numbers in Congress and Obama still in office, ensuring a gridlock for another 4 years.  Obama is not Clinton and if people are sick of him now, even the most retarded independent will crawl on broken glass to get rid of him in 2016, when we might at last have a real candidate worthy of Reagan's mantle.

But now?  I fear if Romney gets it and wins, he will fuck us up so bad that we'll wind up getting Hillary in 2016.  Ugh.

66 We are most likely going to nominate a candidate that 25% of the party likes.

Though Barry does his stuttering best to make a win possible for the Republicans, I hope that's enough in November 2012, because it's not going to be excitement that carries us over the line.

67

I cannot support Perry due to his support of a law that allows illegals that have declared their illegal status and are making efforts to become legal to be able to receive in-state tuition.  Instead I must support Mitt Romney with his "I was for Comprehensive Immigration Reform before I was against it because I needed to be to the right of McCain," and his "I was for giving illegals legal resident status AND a path to citizenship before Newt" and also his "I will hire a company known to employ illegals as long as they're not on my property until it gets too much coverage well into my first presidential run."

Romney is clearly much tougher on illegals than Perry

68   I fear if Romney gets it and wins, he will fuck us up so bad that we'll wind up getting Hillary in 2016.  Ugh.

Hillary had three chances- 2004 (she passed), 2008 (lost to Obama), and 2012 if she ran an insurgant interparty campaign. She will be to old (and with too much Obama stink) to run in 2016.

 

 

2016-2020 would be more favorable for the GOP due to the huge number of Republican candidates- dozens of Senators, governors, etc. We really didn't have "Presidential timber" to run in 2012. That said, I want Obama gone NOW. Not January 2017. Only a delusional fuckstick would call themselves a conservative and stay home next November.

69

See my interview with Christiane Amanpour in the sidebar, where I explain that the Tea Party can't win, and that in politics, compromise is everything.

Recall my earlier statement that the Occupy movement in as American as apple pie, and recall also my endorsement of Barack Obama in 2008.

One thing I learned in the military is that war is all about compromise. We reach an understanding with the enemy, try to see things from his point of view, make a few concessions, give up a little territory. That's what it's all about.

 

 

70 I am full of doom and despair and gloom today and then I read about Newt telling Obama that sure Obama can use a teleprompter when they debate and it warms my little black soul. See, that's why Newt would be a kickass press secretary. 

71 I'm a Perry girl and will remain as such until his name no longer appears on the ballot.

72 That said, I want Obama gone NOW. Not January 2017. Only a delusional fuckstick would call themselves a conservative and stay home next November.

Fucking RINOs like you are ruining the country.  We need to give up on the presidential race right now and concentrate on the Senate, because hamstringing Obama at the congressional level works like gangbusters.

^{_{Just so you know, though, odds are pretty good we're going to want to punt the Senate too by late next summer.  Cuz you know, RINOs.}}

73

@70... you had me going there for a minute...  I see what you're doing ... heh..

Perry will overcome the early stumble I hope....  finish in the top 3 in IA and NH and win SC and FL.  Perry will do very well in the South.

Regardless; I'm pulling a straight GOP ticket next year...  I can't think of a democrat that deserves any support the rest of my lifetime based on what that party has done to this country in my lifetime.  Pieces of shit...

74 Think of a SCOTUS filled with Kagans, Sotomayors, and Napolitanos (the Janet kind). 
Think of a power mad lame duck president issuing executive orders mandating just about every phase of your life.
Think of Obamacare on steroids with the entire pervasive liberal establishment, backed by the White House, lawfaring every attempt to reign in the IPAB.
Then tell me you can find any Republican candidate (I might spot you on Ron Paul) that you won't vote for in opposition to Obama!

None of that matters. None. Because everything you fear has already been put in place.

That's what I keep telling people: We do not need a candidate who will in any way, shape or form expand or keep the federal government the same. Romney, Newt and Cain all will, in some way, either make the federal government bigger or--at best--keep it the same.

Romney's 59 point plan is a plan to tinker around the edges but, keep everything the same. Newt will never, ever--ever--say another word about cutting government; he's still gun-shy over the flak he took for his "wither on the vine" comment (that all you "oh, he's so smart and can debate so well" people forget about--Newt made a shit-load of statements over the years that bit him in the ass and he ran away from it rather than defend, leaving conservatives twisting in the wind.) And Cain, a national sales tax will be coupled with an explosion in federal spending. And nominating him absolutely guarantees the Democrats will propose a stand-alone sales tax that we'll have no argument against.

And I'll get a little farther afield. We have to have a candidate who has a plan that will produce a recovery and growth. Cheap energy always--always--equals prosperity in the industrial world. You figure out who has a realistic plan of expanding domestic oil and gas production and you'll find the candidate who is serious about pulling us out of the Obama Depression. Any who don't aren't because they plan to merely manage our decline.

79 Too late, Perry lost a long time ago.

80 No Deety, I'm a native Texan born and bred though now I live in Idaho, I have always voted for Perry, he may be a bastard, but he's a bastard who will raise my taxes less than any of the other bastards. I just have enough family in S. Arizona, NM who tell me this stuff. Also being from the state of the Duke of Duval, George Parr, I know a wannabe when I see him.

81

Perry has fallen so far that he needed to get an endorsement from a Sheriff?  HQ has fallen so far that in order to prop up their man they have to use a nationwide blog to let people know that a local Sheriff endorsed Perry?

What's next, some precinct captain in southwestern Kansas endorses Perry and Ace is having roast beef with him and writing up an article?

Seriously, this is not an endorsement that Perry needed, nor should have sought.  Fully a quarter of the GOP primary voters haven't even paid attention, the only thing that goes through their mind when they think of Perry is something akin to 'quick draw' or a Bushie.  Anyone who has any doubts about shooting first then asking questions will be turned off with this one.

Man's in panic mode and is flapping his arms in quicksand, lay flat dude, that's how you get out.

82 to every fuckstick who thinks ims a Romneybot because i'm not in delusion world continuing to back an obvious backbencher..fuck you

83
That is useful information and its quite easy to come a croper if you are not vigilant.

84 Come on, people! About 80% of you seem to be expressing the same sentiments: you like Rick Perry's plan, his policies, his conservatism. But, but but... he's inarticulate, he's this, he's that. It's hopeless! It's a lost cause! He's already lost! I've seen Perry debate. If we're honest, he's not as bad as everyone is saying. He's certainly not much worse than Cain, or Romney on those rare occasions when he gets ruffled. And one or two missteps should not be a disqualifier unless we are so terrified of Obama that we think that one thing is going to make the difference in a billion dollar election. Go on Youtube and look at some of Perry's speeches, like at the Hannity concert in 2010. He most definitely can articulate a conservative message! He's great in interviews. And he can articulate his message better than Barry even without a teleprompter! So what's the damn problem? You know what it is: fear. Fear to back someone who might lose. Fear of Obama and his machine. So instead we will give up and go for a disaster like Mittens or a good debater horrible policy executor like Newt. I'm thinking of Aragorn at the end of the Lord of the Rings. "I see in your eyes the same fear that would break the heart of me. The day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our oaths and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day! This day we fight!" If you want Rick Perry's energy plan, you're going to have to vote for Rick Perry. If you want departments cut from the federal government, you're going to have to vote for Perry. If you want the balanced budget ammendment, only Rick Perry has committed to selling it in all 50 states, so the choice is easy. Supporting Perry is a risk, sure. He might slip and fall off the stage! He might blurt out the secession stuff again! Or call S.S. a Ponzi scheme! But is it any greater risk than voting for the guy who has dollar bills hanging out of his pants in the Bain Capital picture? Or the guy who is a serial adulterer and seller out of conservatives? Rick Perry can win- even with his stumbles, even with the conservative media and the mainstream media and the Ron Paul kooks against us. Maybe Perry has an uphill climb. But he certainly isn't going to make it if we just sit around complaining about how terrible he and the other candidates are. This election is going to take more courage, faith, perseverance and gut-wrenching stamina than any we've seen in our lifetime. If we make the courageous choice, the payoff could be great. If we don't, then I guess we'll get what we deserve.

85 89 Rally the troops!  I am with Perry til the end.  Newt scares the crap out of me.  God, its like exchanging one egomaniac for another with a R behind his name.

93 Sheriff Joe Arpaio = retard

94 I can't stand Arpaio, he's a fascist thug.  But his endorsement will matter to other people I can't stand (I swear the list grows longer every day!), so I'll take it.  With Perry in - what, 4th place? - every little bit helps.  I'm sticking with him until he is no longer an option, because he is a real conservative with a record of success and I care about the issues.  It seems so obvious to me, but apparently the issues are not all that important these days to most self-described conservatives.  *sigh*

95 Arpaio's endorsement didn't seem to help Romney very much last election.
