Pro-Perry Super PAC's First Ads Air in S.C., Iowa
Make Us Great Again, the Super PAC formed to raise money in support of but independent of Rick Perry's White House bid, has made its first ad buys — in South Carolina and Iowa. The S.C. ad, embedded above, is called "Conservative." The Iowa ad, called "Leadership," can be viewed here. ABC News reported tonight that the PAC, which is headed by former Perry chief of staff Mike Toomey, spent $382,000 on the biographical spots.

They don't know the real Rick Perry..Great ad wish he would have
given elderly retired school teachers an increase in OUR pension
with $110 BILLION dollars in it and not a dime for us since 1999.
Bush was Governor..What will he do to SS/Medicare.. Now in Texas
plans are to do the same for firefighters, police and retired government workers... I have known him since 1977 and if his dad
was a tenant farmer, why did he need money to save the family
farm from the debts???'90s He and his dad took stimulus money until
1998 on their farms.. his county received over $ 1 million. in 1998
he stopped the stimulus money and then voted against it..Better
dig deeper..

I hope everyone has a chance to see the speech he made in NC (I think -- forgot which state), but he was absolutely GIDDY -- and sooooo SILLY! I was embarrassed for him, and really embarrassed for Texas because he behaved so foolishly. It was NOT presidential or dignified.

Rick Perry and the Republicans in Texas have cut the funding for Public School Kids by $500 to $2,000 per students. Less teachers, bigger classes....in San Antonio ISD the janitor staff has been cut to night time only. That means teachers have to clean up after kids when they up chuck. If Rick Perry balanced the Texas Budget he did it on the backs of our public school children.

It is only "balanced" because they pushed a big Medicaid payment into the next budget and because they're making the last payment due to schools go into the next fiscal year as well.:( Not only did they cut schools hugely, now they've got to wait to get their money. I wonder if they can tell the testing companies THEY have to wait to get THEIR money?

Don't forget we still have our Rainy Day Fund during the worst drought in years in Texas. figuratively and literally

The 2009 Texas budget wouldn't have "balanced" without $3+ billion in Federal stimulus funds, that Perry was all for, before he was against, etc. Not to mention Property Tax compression, business tax misrepresentations, history of pushing bills into the next biennium, and so on and on and on. Oh, and moving big chunks of infrastructure spending from pay-as-you-go to bonded indebtedness and/or hoping for privatization schemes. Perry's "balance" is not the same as well all learned on the playground with the see-saw (teeter-totter, for another generation). Of course, now that those dangerous toys are mostly outlawed and absent, children will believe "balance" means whatever Fox, Perry, or others like them say it is. So it goes.

I just don't get it. Why does this man have a following? He is SO unintelligent. I guess it's because he'll do anything for the right price.
