Rick Perry Should be elected President

Let's go into some refutations. This will be pretty short and sweet since a lot of the contentions were dropped. Education PolicyThe entire premise behind my contentions was dropped on this. She claims that Rick Perry makes mistakes like anyone else as her rebuttal. This is something I am sure we are all aware of. Everyone can make mistakes, but the issue is that the person making them would be running for president. The mistakes he made were also intentional. He chose to approve a 60 million dollar football stadium while teachers were being laid off in the same school do to budget cuts. This is a matter of priority and making the right choices. The student to debt ratio was not even touched, so I will leave this point standing. Texas DebtThis was entirely dropped because Pro did not see how it was relevant. It is entirely relevant because the issue at hand is whether or not the decisions he is making/has made as a governor were helpful or beneficial to the state. If they were not made carefully or hurt people more than they helped, we can assume he may not be qualified for the position of president. Texas. The debt per citizen in Texas is over 10,000 dollars as I mentioned in my previous argument. This is a huge number and partially and mostly thanks to the governors choices. Stance on Gay Marriage. Even in spite of separation of church and state in legal affairs. Con justifies this by saying she can see how he would approve this. A stance on the bible is someones choice to have but also must be separated from their duty as president. No one should make decisions because of their religious beliefs, it should be made from a bi partisan stand point. Stance on Abortion From what I gather Pro supports his stance on abortion by saying the mother should die to save the child. This is disregarding the fact that both the mother and child could die if the pregnancy went threw in some cases. That the family has no say in this whatsoever. Pro is approving and supporting a bill that was in the process of being based, that would ban all 20 week + abortion, even in the case of death or illness of the mother. While some abortions may be not able to be justified rationally, in a case where the mother could die the choice should remain with the family, and should not be forced on them because of the Governors on religious views. Secession. This was not even touchedConclusionPro has did said or shown nothing to demomstrate that Rick Perry would make a good or effective president in the USA. She has simply acknolwedge and agreed with most of elite statements such as banning abortion in cirucmstances that coudl cause death, cutting funding from a majority of gay marriage programs, and his bad education policies. She justifies this with him being religious She says" And what is wrong with being a religious person? If he is religious it gives him grounds to implement something just like former presidents have in the past."This is a fundamental error in how someone should make decisions. No president should make choices because of what they believe due to their religion. They should make choices that benefit the nation as a whole, even if it goes against what they believe spiritually. While all choices will be subjective and dependent on the presidents perspective in some regards, rationalizing religion as a way to make choices opens the chance of it to act as a catalyst and induce extremist stances within the government. That is the entire reason and point of separation of church and state. I ask you, does this man sound like he will make a good President? He has made bills and policies that have sunk Texas in debt, made teachers loose their jobs because he approved a football field over educational funding, and also condemned mothers to die because of his religious belief. This man is not fit for any office, much less presidency.
