Governor Perry Slams Rove During Debate: “Karl Has Been Over the Top For Some Time in Some of His Remarks”
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, September 8, 2011, 5:19 AM
Perry was a Big Winner at last night’s debate.
Governor Rick Perry got back at Karl Rove last night during the GOP primary debate. The conservative Texas governor told NBC crank Brian Williams, “Karl has been over the top some time for his remarks”
Newsmax reported, via Free Republic:
Texas Gov. Rick Perry lashed out Wednesday at former Bush adviser and Fox News commentator Karl Rove, charging he has been “over the top” in his remarks lately.
Rove invited Perry’s wrath when he criticized a passage in Perry’s book, Fed Up!, in which the Texas governor describes Social Security as an “illegal Ponzi scheme.” Rove, once dubbed “the architect” for managing the re-election of former President George W. Bush, said that type of rhetoric could be “toxic” for Republicans in a general election campaign.
“You know, Karl has been over the top for a long time in some of his remarks,” Perry said of Rove, who once was an adviser to him as well. “So I’m not responsible for Karl anymore.”
Reminded that former Vice President Dick Cheney also told ABC News that Social Security “is a program that a great many people depend on,” Perry insisted that he stands by every word he wrote about the program.
“If Vice President Cheney or anyone else says that the program that we have in place today, and young people who are paying into that expect that program to be sound, and for them to received benefits when they reach retirement age, that is just a lie,” Perry said. “And I don’t care what anyone says. We know that, the American people know that, and more importantly those 25 and 30-year-olds know that.”

Perry/Palin 2012.
listingstarboard commented:
Perry does not pander to the RINO political pundits like Rove –his presidency will make Rove and his ilk irrelevant or even obsolete. Perry is the only candidate that has a sensible grasp of the border problem.

Bilderberg meeting 2007
Do you really want a nother fast talker that talks fast and cracks jokes to hide his corruption? I don’t!
Karinee commented:
Please Ginger enough of the Bilderberg nonsense. I am more afraid of the Obama- Soros
connection, the Muslim connection, the union connection. Obama is the talking head for this
group of Marxist. My goodness he has to read everything from a teleprompter that is printed
for him by the master. If any republican did this they would be nailed to the cross. Wake up
sweetie because your version of who is in power is a little warped.

Good morning Ginger. I hope you and yours are well. The bilderberg meme is getting old. I understand your feelings of being let down again by Governor Palin not being at the debates to wink at everybody and rehash 2008 elections, but your incessant attacks over a pretty mundane and irrelevant club or society is starting to wear on everybody. What was your opinion of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and her being at a bilderberg meeting years ago? Was The Iron Lady guilty of “The One World Government conspiracy” by association. Geez, this Skull and Bones crap coming from you nistas is about as bad as the nuts that say the Sept. 11th attacks were an inside job. Come on now, I know you’re smarter than that.
Ron commented:
Why is it that everytime a piece on or about Governor Perry gets brought up for discussion, the nistas or Gellercons crawl out of the woodwork like clockwork? Do you guys sense a disturbance in the force or something? I would have never expected those who call themselves conservatives to act like Obots whenever a Governor Perry thread comes up. The funny thing is that this doesn’t even have to be about Governor Palin at all and we automatically recognize the nistas and Gellercons. Atlas Juggs used to be a good blog, but my how things have changed.

So I am supposed to shut up with my opinion but I have to hear you drool over the Texas fraud. Double standard! SOB..if you do not like my opinion as I will yours.

Noone is drooling over Governor Perry, but there sure are a lot of Palin fans Gellercons frothing at the mouth whenever he’s the topic of dicussion. Run for the hills, Conspiracy, conspiracy one world government, Arrrghh! For heavens sake, get a grip.
CT commented:
Given the opportunity I would take Karl Rove over the Texas Turd kicking Bible Thumper any day. We need another Texan in the White House about as much as we need an LBJ reincarnation. Yes I know Karl Rove is a Texan.
Ginger commented:

It is a Ponzi scheme. Perry/Rubio 2012
Palin is out of it. She should just be a fund raiser for the nominee.

Rubio is NOT a Natural Born Citizen. Sure wish he was. He with out a doubt loves this country.
bobbymike commented:
Rove has never been called to account for being behind “compassionate conservatism” that turned into “big government conservatism” that set back the right and Republicans for years and set the stage for Obama.
The reason the Tea Party first came about was Bush/Republican overspending. Rove believed he could build a permanent right of center coalition by BUYING OFF 51% of the voters just as the Democrats believe they can.
It was a disaster. We need a true small government conservative and Rove & Co. aint it.

Bob Z commented:”
Palin is not out of it. These guys are in early. I’d happily take any one of several of the potential Republican choices over Obama. Right now, it looks to me like the Democrats are the most frightened of Palin and Perry at the moment. Certainly the dis-information (Texans have another term for this) about these two has been particularly deep.
daryl commented:
Face it. Bachmann is flaming out with each debate. Palin won’t get on the launch pad and Perry has blasted off. Will he win it, who knows. But it’s for damned sure gonna take more than “click here, here,here and here and scroll from two disgruntled(because their gal can’t get momentum) females to stop that Rick Perry. Let me repeat that….Gonna be hard to stop Rick Perry.
Ripped commented:
Perry is loosing ground he sounds like a kook.
An MSNBC after show poll shows that Ron Paul trounced his opponents to win last night’s debate, receiving well over double the votes of his nearest rival Mitt Romney.
owl commented:
Walk softly Perry. No Bushbashing. If you can’t follow this rule, you can lose me. You have enough garbage of your own.
I have never cared for Romney but he won/tied last night.
If any of you think you are going to get the Perfect president, you are in for a surprise. Reagan and George W Bush is as close as you get. Both were as perfect as one single person will ever be for 8 years of struggling with that job. Perfection is what the MSM played on to give us Obama.
daryl commented:
Anyone thinking about quoting anything an msnbc poll shows to prove a point is sucking hind teat before he hits the ‘post comment’ button. Pathetic, especially on a conservative site like this.
Lord no wonder we have obama in the WhieHouse.
owl commented:
Nice to see Repubs are true to form and joined as a chorus to support that massive DEM machine called the MSM to take down Rove. Didn’t you get your fill when you watched it for 8 years?

At least Perry wasn’t a broken clock that spins backwards at lightspeed like Ron Paul is.

Are you at least bothering to read the truth! All one sided! I heard Parry the Prophet has an anger problem. You can bet your boots that Ron Paul’s people will not let this go!
Stuart commented:
Ginger, daryl, Ron et al.
Have all the verbal dust ups that you want. It’s what makes this country great.
Just remember to support WHOMEVER gets the GOP nomination.
No, I am not a GOP partisan, I am, by nature, an independent. But it is imperative that we get rid of that damn Communist in the Whitehouse. If the nominee is Ron Paul, I will vote for Paul. If Bachmann, ditto. If Romney ditto.
If that Kenyan fraud gets another four years because we are at each others throat, or decide to support a third party, this republic is absolutely over. About that point I couldn’t be more serious.
Sandy commented:
I really like Rick Perry but I am disturbed about his answer on Social Security. Seniors are terrified of the future and they have good reason to be. Death Panels and the elimination of Social Security can kill off this generation. Paul Ryan came out with a plan that was positive and thoughful. I hope that Rick Perry can explain what he really means with regard to Social Security. The long knives in the status quo wing of the Republican Party are circling the wagons around Romney. It would seem that Conservatives like Bachmann, Palin and Perry are DOA to the Rove crowd and a third party run would bring back these socialists to finished us off. Excedrin headache number 2012/
Sandy commented:
I will vote for any Republican who gets the nomination but I will never vote 3rd party.
Sandy commented:
Once again the media played a gotcha game with Republicans last night. They did everything and anything to keep the candidates from speaking about Obama. Even Fox News got in on the act. Listening to Rush and reading the articles on this website may be all we have left. As far as Rove and Krauthammer — there is the remote control button.
Sandy commented:
Perry/Rubio 2012 and he is a natural born citizen.
Ginger commented:
I would vote for Paul Ryan in a heart beat!
I would also like to know why the RNC is allowing the liberal media host and control the republican debates. It does not make since. Nothing makes since any more!

Nutbar conspiracists have been ranting about the Biderbergers my entire life (i m 68) and have been politically active & aware since age 15. If theBilderbergers alleged plots haven’t succeeded in 50 years it “aint gonna happen”.
Soros pro=leftist acions are the far greater danger to the old nazzzi kapo and his buying of media idiot, the democorrupt party, his secertary of state project, finacing a drive to immune appointed state & local judges from voter removal and/or approval , and to eliminate the recall, referendunm ,& initiative processes in states that have them under the disguise of philanthropy.
