We're
inviting the entire Dailykos community to come participate in our liveblogging of Rick Perry's lies, exaggerations, and misstatements during the GOP debate. We'll be spending our time taking those apart, and we invite you to join us in doing so.
After ducking debates in last year's gubernational election, Rick Perry has finally decided to show up to debate. Hundreds of Texans have already submitted their questions that they'd ask if they were the moderator on our wall at Texans Against Perry.
Here are some of their questions:
Mr. Perry, as a highly educated professional teacher how am I supposed to afford my home when I was laid off due to your budget slashing? These so-called jobs you tout as creating in Texas are merely part-time minimum wages positions. Have you ever been laid off from a job & had to struggle to make ends meet/provide for your family? No? I didn't think so. Upset? He'll yes im upset. How do you sleep at nite?
Why did you adamantly oppose fed stimulus money and attacked proponents of the funds but then you quietly took the money with your hand out?
I'd ask him to explain the layoff of all the educators while Texas ranks at the bottom for education. Explain the largest unemployment rate in the state in more than 2 decades and the massive state deficit.
These were just a few of the 586 questions that Texans would ask Rick Perry if they were in the moderator's seat tonight.
You're welcome to submit your comments on what Rick Perry's saying in tonight's debate to us right through our liveblogging tab on Texans Against Perry. We'll be going live tonight at 7pm CST!
We look forward to having you guys over tonight!
