Rasmussen: Rick Perry now up 11 points on GOP field

Not open for further replies.
Hate to break it to you but that was before Perry even announced and was a June 29 poll, irrelevant. Guess you missed the tie today in the Gallup poll. Not surprising. For someone from TX you sure have a distorted view of TX

Right, because the residents of Texas didn't know who Perry was until he announced. :lol:
 
It's because the rightwingers know that their candidates are so weak that there's no reason to vote FOR them. The only way to justify their votes is as a vote AGAINST something, in this case Obama

Its quite simple...really. The choice between the 2

Potus - we just need to spend a few more trillion dollars and everything will be hunky dory ( it will be fun watching Obama try and do it) or....

Perry - They tried to spend like a drunken whore out of this mess and all it got us is a mountain of debt...a cluster****, now it's time to try something else

Obama's policies has led us to this point and there is no way he escapes blame for it.
 
You are just paving the way for Perry to be the front runner

Continue, my dear fellow

Really, I'm paving the way??? And here I thought I was just making a post at DP. WOW!!!

Pave away. Perry is much more beatable than Romney.
 
Tell me where did you get your crystal ball.



BTW it does seem Perry's popularity is sliding in Texas.

He knows that polls change, but he cites them as if they were Gospel

And while the polls in TX show that Perrys #'s go down as people get to know him, the rightwinger argues as if Perry's #'s can only go up

:cuckoo:

I don't like Obama, but to suggest his policies are why our economy is in the tank is wrong (they ain't helpin' though).

I also don't like Perry. My bud who worked for him for 5 years says he's crazy. It amazes me sometimes who our country drudges up for candidates when we're working from a pool of maybe 150mm viable adult people.

Why would you want four more years of this

Obama economic results in 2011, .4% GDP and 1.3% GDP growth in 2011, 25+ million unemployed or under employed Americans in 2011, 4 trillion added to the debt in less than 3 years, and a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating. Rising Misery index 7.83 to 12.67. First President in U.S. History to have our credit downgraded on his watch! 40% JAR and well over 50% disapproval ratings.

Correct me if I am wrong but when did GW Bush have 25 million unemployed and under employed? When did Bush have a downgrade of our credit? When did Bush add 4 trillion to the debt? When did Bush have such a rise in misery index? Amazing that liberals have no problem accepting these numbers after spending over a trillion dollars.

You too? I can't affect the election one way or the other posting here at DP. Let's have a little dose of reality!!

The rightwingers know that their field of candiates is weak, so they don't even try to defend them :lol:

You're right -- Bush didn't add $4 trillion to the debt; he added SIX TRILLION the debt. His recession led to the debt downgrade and massive unemployment.

I think Obama needs to win because his policies are at least improving the situation, whereas the Republicans' policies would make the situation worse.

Again,nice distortion, it was 4.9 trillion in 8 years, Obama has on his record, like it or not 4 trillion in 3 years. His policies aren't improving anything, that is why his approval raiting is dropping like a rock. Keep buying the rhetoric and ignoring the results. You do that a lot.

Amazing how those pesky little facts always get in the way of a liberal ideologue


Government - Historical Debt Outstanding – Annual

The numbers aren't important. Can't we all accept that both Obama and George Bush have added to our debt? That'd be a rational place to start instead of going back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.

What we need is someone who can fix this. The mainstream GOP proves time and time again that they spend lots and lots of money despite their constant proclamation of being good and fiscally conservative. The Dems continue to spend but at least say their going to spend. Both have proven themselves to be absolutely worthless.

Either way, what's the third choice? Are we out of choices?

It is not going to be "fixed" in four years no matter who is President.

Yes, I can and know that both have added to the debt. Bush with the help of a Democrat controlled Congress added to the debt and Obama in 3 years mostly with a Democrat Congress has added almost as much as Bush added in 8 years.

it would be helpful if the President had a plan to fix it and Obama doesn't. He put Bush spending on steroids and is showing his lack of leadership and management skills.

There's no question that they both added to the debt, but it's not an equivalent situation. Most of Obama's excess spending has been in response to a recession that he was saddled with. Most of Bush's debt was run up during a decent economy due to fiscal mismanagement.

Is that why the Obama poll numbers are so low, people confuse him with Bush? Where is the Obama leadership?

Conservative - Bush was Commander in Chief and because of this I say the expensive wars are on his watch, not the Democratic Congress. So are the ill-timed tax cuts. Thank God we found all those "WMDs", they were just where the Halliburton report told us where to look. Crooks, if you ask me.
