He makes a great point. Transparency is only right considering we pay the people and into the system they are supposed to be managing. Why people defend a politician who can't be open and honest is above and beyond me. Sure, they're gonna bring up some things (projects, ideas, etc) that I may or may not agree with. But, I'd rather hear it and be given the choice to support or oppose it rather than find out, after the fact, something was presented and approved internally without being given the choice to vote on it...
Perry is looking more a formidable opponent for Obama then what the media is trying to portray. He's not going to back down. Well, they put Romney up as the frontrunner, even before Perry came in, and I knew that wasn't right even then. Turns out, it wasn't.
Quote:
"Yesterday, the President said I needed to watch what I say. I just want to respond back, if I may. Mr. President, actions speak louder than words. My actions as Governor are helping create jobs in this country. The President's actions are killing jobs," GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry said at a breakfast on Wednesday morning. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/vid...han_words.html
If a politician in Texas makes a statement or stakes their claim to something, these people verify the accuracy and validity on it and present their findings with a Truth-O-Meter. Pretty interesting stuff...

I follow things of this nature on Twitter. I don't want my private account open to everyone, especially the political world. I go to their website instead.

A little skeptical, are we? I gotcha, completely understandable...
For anyone interested in details. Each of the 18 items are addressed in length and link sources are provided.
(Update) Eighteen (18) things that critics are saying about Rick Perry
1. Gardasil
2. Trans-Texas Corridor
3. He used to be a Democrat and was Al Gore’s campaign manager in Texas
4. He wants Texas to secede from the union
5. The jobs created in Texas have all been low paying jobs. Texas’ average wage is much lower than the national average.
6. Texas ranks poorly in educational spending and high school graduations
7. Perry turned down $555 million in federal stimulus, yet later asked for federal disaster aid for Texas wildfires
8. Perry says he has not raised taxes, but he has
9. Perry has presided over the highest number of executions in the nation
10. Perry refused to consider commuting the execution of Mexican national Humberto Leal Garcia even though it had been requested by the U.N. and the White House
11. Cameron Todd Willingham:was he an innocent man?
12. Perry supports giving in-state tuition to illegals
13. Rick Perry is gay
14. Perry is a “weak” Governor (the Governor of a state that limits the Governor’s powers)
15. He is squishy on immigration
16. Perry is a member of the Bilderberg cabal and therefore believes in a New World Order (NWO). That is reason alone to eliminate him from voting consideration.
17. Texas’ abysmal rankings on various lists
18. Rick Perry is way too chummy with Muslims
thanks for this. As one who was opposed to Perry on Gardisil and Texas Trans Corridor, this helps explain some things. While I still hold some reserve, the article and other things posted help explain his instinct to support them and his willingness to accept defeat and move on.
dont know if I will vote for him, but it does help form a better opinion.

Thank you for responding, Ferd. I was going to bump this again to ask you to look it over.
I was very happy to run across the article. I could feel there were some things on these issues that were being overlooked. This settled those things for me.
Even though I post at another forum (not as much as I used to) where the largest majority are liberals and wouldn't care if it sat in their lap and smiled, I figured the information may not be lost here.
Some of the things on that list about Governor Perry reek of a smear campaign. He is gay? Good grief!
Oh, and I look at the stat of him presiding over the largest number of executions in the nation as a plus. They were all convicted murderers and to have received the death penalty were not just murderers but convicted of capital murder. I am proud that if you kill somebody in Texas they kill you right back (as Ron White says)!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
I gotcha, completely understandable...
