Glenn Beck Hammers Mitt Romney “Dirty Trick” in Attacking Rick Perry on Social Security – Video 9/13/11

Carlos, that Florida poll is important because it was done after both debates – Sept 13. I’m traveling for a few days so it will be a while before I can update the poll data. But Perry actually went up in that poll in Florida in spite of all the attacks. We’ll see if it holds.

This may settle some things:
Governor Perry Has Repeatedly And Passionately Claimed That Social Security Is A Failure And The Program Should Not Exist:
Perry: “Get It Back To The States. Why Is The Federal Government Even In The Pension Program…? Let The States Do It.” PERRY: “When you look at Social Security, it’s broke. … Get it back to the states. Why is the federal government even in the pension program or the health care delivery program? Let the states do it. … That, I will suggest to you, is one of the ways this federal government can get out of our business, save a lot of money and get back to that Constitutional way of doing business in those enumerated powers that they’re supposed to have.” (MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” 11/5/10)
In Fed Up!, Perry Says Social Security Is In Place “At The Expense Of Respect For The Constitution.” “Social Security is something that we’ve been forced to accept for more than 70 years now. … at the expense of respect for the Constitution and limited government.” (Rick Perry, Fed Up!, 2010, p. 50)
· “By Any Measure, Social Security Is A Failure.” (Rick Perry, Fed Up, 2010, p. 62)
Perry: “Let The States [Decide] How To Run The Pensions.” PERRY: “There’s a number of things in that book that will strike Americans as horrifying. And we must, as a people, get put back in the box. Get this government back to the limited form that our founding fathers sought. Let the states, whether it is how to run Medicaid, how to run the pensions.” (Fox’s “On The Record With Greta Van Susteren,” 11/8/10)
Perry Called Social Security A Program “That We Don’t Need.” PERRY: “I think every program needs to stand the sunshine of righteous scrutiny. Whether it’s Social Security, whether it’s Medicaid, whether it’s Medicare. You’ve got $115 trillion worth of unfunded liability in those three. … And I think we should have a legitimate, honest, national discussion about Washington’s continuing to spend money we don’t have on programs that we don’t need.” (Andrew Romano, “Rick Perry On The Record,” The Daily Beast, 8/12/11)

I don’t follow you.  What are you referring to?

So would you rather have Obama again, or Romney? Romney is a centrist who can pass as a conservative.
