..... Texas Governor Rick Perry is a habitual liar. Just keep this dude talking. We don't even need Katie Couric - just put a mike in front of Perry, and let him speak.
If he were smarter he'd know how dumb he is - but he's not. http://malialitman.wordpress.com/2011/09... http://crooksandliars.com/tina-dupuy/d-s... To those talking about our unemployment rate: After 17 straight months of job gains under Obama, we gained 17,000 private sector jobs last month, but lost 17,000 government jobs, mostly due to over-zealous firings of teachers and other government workers by Republican governors.
Because Rick Perry is a liar. Before Republicans get too excited about Rick Perry, there are a whole lot of things that they should know about him. The following are 15 reasons why Rick Perry would be a really, really bad president.... #1 Rick Perry is a "big government" politician.
When Rick Perry became the governor of Texas in 2000, the total spending by the Texas state government was approximately $49 billion. Ten years later it was approximately $90 billion. That is not exactly reducing the size of government.
#2 The debt of the state of Texas is out of control. According to usdebtclock.org, the debt to GDP ratio in Texas is 22.9% and the debt per citizen is $10,645. In California (a total financial basket case), the debt to GDP ratio is just 18.7% and the debt per citizen is only $9932.
If Rick Perry runs for president these are numbers he will want to keep well hidden. #3 The total debt of the Texas government has more than doubled since Rick Perry became governor. So what would the U.S. national debt look like after four (or eight) years of Rick Perry?
#4 Rick Perry has spearheaded the effort to lease roads in Texas to foreign companies, to turn roads that are already free to drive on into toll roads, and to develop the Trans-Texas Corridor which would be part of the planned NAFTA superhighway system. If you really do deep research on this whole Trans-Texas Corridor nonsense you will see why no American should ever cast a single vote for Rick Perry. #5 Rick Perry claims that he has a "track record" of not raising taxes.
That is a false claim. Rick Perry has repeatedly raised taxes and fees while he has been governor. Today, Texans are faced with significantly higher taxes and fees than they were before Rick Perry was elected.
#6 Even with the oil boom in Texas, 23 states have a lower unemployment rate than Texas does. #7 Back in 1988, Rick Perry supported Al Gore for president. In fact, Rick Perry actually served as Al Gore's campaign chairman in the state of Texas that year.
#8 Between December 2007 and April 2011, weekly wages in the U.S. increased by about 5 percent. In the state of Texas they increased by just 0.6% over that same time period. #9 Texas now has one of the worst education systems in the nation.
The following is from an opinion piece that was actually authored by Barbara Bush earlier this year.... •? We rank 36th in the nation in high school graduation rates. An estimated 3.8 million Texans do not have a high school diploma.
•? We rank 49th in verbal SAT scores, 47th in literacy and 46th in average math SAT scores. •?
We rank 33rd in the nation on teacher salaries. #10 Rick Perry attended the Bilderberg Group meetings in 2007. Associating himself with that organization should be a red flag for all American voters.
#11 Texas has the highest percentage of workers making minimum wage out of all 50 states. #12 Rick Perry often gives speeches about illegal immigration, but when you look at the facts, he has been incredibly soft on the issue. If Rick Perry does not plan to secure the border, then he should not be president because illegal immigration is absolutely devastating many areas of the southwest United States.
#13 In 2007, 221,000 residents of Texas were making minimum wage or less. By 2010, that number had risen to 550,000. #14 Rick Perry actually issued an executive order in 2007 that would have forced almost every single girl in the state of Texas to receive the Gardasil vaccine before entering the sixth grade.
Perry would have put parents in a position where they would have had to fill out an application and beg the government not to inject their child with a highly controversial vaccine. Since then, very serious safety issues regarding this vaccine have come to light. Fortunately, lawmakers in Texas blocked what Perry was trying to do.
According to Wikipedia, many were troubled when "apparent financial connections between Merck and Perry were reported by news outlets, such as a $6,000 campaign contribution and Merck's hiring of former Perry Chief of Staff Mike Toomey to handle its Texas lobbying work." #15 Perry publicly denounced the Stimulus Bill then quietly took 6.7 BILLION for Texas. This was the source of the money used to “create jobs” in Texas that he claims was so successful. Rick Perry has a record that should make all Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians and Independents cringe.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
