He contends that he’s not campaigning himself, Gov. Rick Perry of The Washington Times reports that, “Mr. Perry, long considered a top 2012 contender if he runs, told reporters in a separate gathering over breakfast that Mitt Romney, another fiscal conservative, faces his own impediments because of the health care plan he passed as governor of Massachusetts that President Obama has repeatedly cited as a model for his own national health law.” Gov. Perry, who recently won re-election to a record third full term as Texas governor, is perceived as an increasingly influential figure in the national GOP party and one who could play a vital role in determining who gets the 2012 nod. According to the Washington Times, “he said that Mr. Daniels had made a serious mistake earlier this year in picking a fight with Christian conservatives by calling for a party ‘truce’ over whether issues such as same-sex marriage, abortion and stem cell research should share the spotlight with jobs and the economy going into this year’s elections.” Mr. Perry said of Mr. Daniels that, “I understand where he’s coming from.

written by rufuslevin , November 13, 2010 Penny, you choose to ignore what Perry ACTUALLY said, in favor of quoting for the liberal rags and talking heads.

written by facebook layouts , November 23, 2010 A policy is typically described as a principle or rule to guide decisions and achieve rational outcome(s). The term is not normally used to denote what is actually done, this is normally referred to as either procedure or protocol. Whereas a policy will contain the 'what' and the 'why', procedures or protocols contain the 'what', the 'how', the 'where', and the 'when'.facebook layouts Write comment
