Rove Reviews For Rick Perry

"Romney stands firm amid Perry whirl" August 17, 2011|By Glen Johnson and Matt Viser, Globe Staff

PLYMOUTH, N.H.- Texas Governor Rick Perry caused a furor Monday when he strongly criticized Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke.

“To be honest with you, I know there’s a lot of talk and what have you about if this guy prints more money between now and the election, I don’t know what you all would do to him in Iowa, but we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas,’’ Perry said in Iowa. “I mean, printing more money to play politics at this particular time in American history is almost treacherous - or treason, in my opinion.’’

It's a furor because you can't tell the truth. The creation Federal Reserve itself is an act of treason, and they have done nothing in their existence to help this nation. Look where we are due to private central banking controlling the printing presses and monetary policy.

He's got you-know-whose approval which explains his meteoric rise in the rigged polls.

Aides to George W. Bush, the previous Texas governor, who appointed Bernanke when he was in the White House, condemned the remark.

“You don’t accuse the chairman of the Federal Reserve of being a traitor to his country, of being guilty of treason,’’ Karl Rove, former deputy chief of staff and senior adviser to Bush, told Fox News yesterday.  

Why not?

Tony Fratto, a former spokesman for the White House and Treasury Department, wrote on Twitter: “Gov. Perry’s comments about Chmn. Bernanke are inappropriate and un-presidential.’’  

Ooooh.

That makes sense seeing as he is the essence of corporation in a suit.

"Reaching out: Texas style toned down a notch, Perry tests message in Granite State" by Matt Viser, Globe Staff / August 18, 2011

BEDFORD, N.H. - Governor Rick Perry of Texas has immediately catapulted to the top tier in the Republican presidential contest - one national poll already has him in the lead....    

The corporate media's latest selling of a candidate with a rigged poll. I think they make the numbers up. After all the other lies and deceptions you think phony poll numbers cause them a loss of sleep?

Perry spoke from prepared remarks, and appeared determined to avoid making controversial statements as he did Monday when he said the actions of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke may border on treason.

“I got in trouble about talking about the Federal Reserve yesterday. I got lectured about that yesterday,’’ Perry told the audience, even as he stuck by the statement that it would be “treasonous’’ for the Federal Reserve to “print more money’’ in an attempt to boost the economy.

Perry also said yesterday global warming was not caused by humans and was based on manipulated data from scientists....   

He is RIGHT ABOUT THAT! It was called CLIMATEGATE and they can NEVER BE BELIEVED AGAIN!

“There are a substantial number of scientists who have manipulated data so that they will have dollars rolling into their projects,’’ Perry said yesterday. “I think we’re seeing almost weekly or even daily scientists who are coming forward and questioning the original idea that manmade global warming is what is causing the climate to change.’’

If you want the government grant you will say what the government wants; otherwise, you will not get it.

“And the cost to the country, and to the world, of implementing these anticarbon programs is in the billions if not trillions of dollars,’’ he added. “I don’t think, from my perspective, that I want America to be engaged in spending that much money on still a scientific theory that has not been proven.’’

An overwhelming majority of scientists have concluded that the carbon dioxide emissions of fossil fuels have caused the climate to change. The chief advocate for addressing the issue has been Al Gore, the former vice president who won the Nobel Prize for that work in 2007.

Perry, a former Democrat, was chairman of Gore’s 1988 presidential campaign in Texas but has since called Gore a “false prophet of a secular carbon cult.’’

What?

Perry endorsed an idea yesterday to allow American corporations to have a break on overseas profits that are now subject to a 35 percent tax. He said the tax should be scrapped completely for five years, as long as the money was “clearly going for job creation.’’ Romney has called for an unspecified temporary reduction in taxes on foreign profits.

More tax cuts for corporations?

When asked to explain why General Electric did not pay taxes in 2010, Perry said he was at a loss - and criticized parts of the tax code that allow corporations to take major deductions. 

Not only did they not pay taxes on $14 BILLION in profits, they received a $3.2 billion GIFT from the American taxpayer.  

Now you know why Medicare and Social Security need to be cut.

“I can’t. I can’t explain that,’’ he said. “The idea that just because you have a good relationship with the political world in Washington, D.C. . . . is not a good enough reason that you’re not paying your fair share of taxes when small-business men and women are struggling to keep their doors open.’’

Perry seemed intent on keeping the focus on economic themes, and appeared far more subdued than he has in recent days in Iowa, perhaps a calculation that his brash style may not go over as well here....

Ron Paul goes over well anywhere -- except in AmeriKan media newsrooms (if you can call them that).
