Perry: 'As president, I'll end Obama's war on religion'
http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/12/07/9275131-perry-as-president-ill-end-obamas-war-on-religion
Rick Perry promised to "end Obama's war on religion" in a new television ad touting his socially conservative credentials.
The Texas governor, who's in the midst of an ad blitz in Iowa, said there's "something wrong with America" when gays and lesbians are allowed to serve openly in the military, but "our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school."
The ad is a play for Iowa's numerous socially conservative voters, who may have an out-sized impact in the state's Jan. 3 caucuses.

My Grandfather was a lifelong registered Democrat. Reagan managed to flip him. My grandfather was a man I respected and admired...highly intelligent. Of course in those day's I wasn't paying any attention to politics, but I well remember how highly he spoke of Regan and his policies. I somehow don't think he would feel the same way about Perry.
I look forward to your thoughts on each candidate.

It’s hard for me to compare Perry to Reagan. Reagan ran against Jimmy Carter (and Mondale) not Obama.
Reagan had charisma; Perry’s personality almost makes me feel sorry for him. Rather you liked him or not, you have to admit Reagan was intelligent, Perry’s display of intelligence has left me both entertained and shocked. When Perry (and Bachman) opens his mouth to speak, it’s like a Train Wreck, you know what is about to happen is going to be horrific but you can’t help but watch.
Reagan also had good hair.
adgal- I'll give you my break down on how I feel about each one a little later. I've got to get up from the computer and take of a few things. All I can say for now is to me, our future looks bleak.

I know your an Independant right? But not an Obama fan. So curious...who would your pick be of the nominees? That is being asked sincerley, not sarcastically. I still keep coming back to Romney as the best of the group.
I missed that interview with Huntsman and would have liked to see it. It was Fareed whatshisface interviewing him right? I hope they replay it. He really isn't getting any coverage at all, or at least as far as I can tell.

Don’t be deceived by Huntsman. I watched an interview with him this morning on CNN. I don’t remember who interviewed him but he pulled no punches, asked the right questions, and above all was respectful. I will give Huntsman credit for not dodging questions and answering them with the truth. I was impressed with Huntsman until his tax plan was questioned. It was a lot like Cain’s 999. He said under his plan, taxes would not be raised and could possibly be lowered.
Under his plan (Like Cain’s), he would do away with a lot of deductions. When asked about eliminating the deduction for interest we pay on Home Loans, “he said of course, this would be the first to go”??????????????
Since this is a BIG WRIGHT OFF for most taxpayers, it will knock most out of Itemized Deductions (Schedule A). I would like to see a list of all of the deductions he would do away with. THIS IS WHERE THE DECEPTION COMES IN.
Under his plan the actual percentage paid in taxes would not increase but the amount of NET Income you claim will increase.
I’m just going to throw some hypothetical #s out.
Your Net Income after Deductions is $50,000 @ 10% Tax Rate you would owe $5,000 in taxes.
Remove $15,000 in Deductions and the Net Income increases to $65,000, At 10% your taxes are now $6,500.

I honestly would not vote republican after what I have seen the last 3 years. I am an independent but seriously thinking dem now thanks to this mess. But if I would vote pub I think it would be Huntsman for me, the one they are trying to ignore the most. He refuses pledges and seems to be independent thinking instead of kissing butt and I like that about him. It has been a clown show at best and I dont think the pubs care how corrupt one is as long as he can bring obama down. They are willing to sacrifice the country to do it and would not expect anything less frm em. imo
It's not worth it. Trust me. Don't let her get to you.
