I’ve never met a politician who I haven’t thought was a nice guy - and that includes my former governor, Jim McGreevey, who sweetly kissed my best friend on the cheek one week before announcing he was a “gay American.” (My best friend is a lady!) So, I’m pretty cynical about that.

Mr. Perry, nice guy or not, is simply not up to the job and it seems that the majority of freepers have figured that out. But, like all pols, he will do what he has to do, until he runs out of money.

I hear you and I agree. Niceness is an important attribute in a candidate, but if unaccompanied by intelligence it is worthless.

Up to the job? Rick Perry runs a state with 24 million people, with the 13th largest economy in the world and a 1200 mile international border.

He's flown C-130's all over the world.

He was an Air Force Captain with a military command. He's an Eagle Scout.

He created over a million jobs while the US lost 2 million.

Rick Perry is more qualified to be president and is more ready to lead this nation than Herman Cain has ever been in his life.

Rick Perry came from the poor rural cotton farms of West Texas and became the governor of one of the most powerful states in the US.

There is no better candidate. Better debater? Romney and Newt.

Better motivational speaker? Yep Herman Cain (who by the way has a rule among his lower level staff, don't speak unless spoken too).

Better candidate for President. No way. More prepared to lead this nation? Perry and Newt are the only ones.
