Rick Perry is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN unlike Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama.
But he’s an Aggie.
Hook ‘em Horns
Thought I read a while back that Perry had no interest in the Presidency.
I like him. He has lots of executive experience, knows how to balance a budget, and talks a good game about Federalism and the states. Got anyone better? And by better I mean someone who can win.
No thank you.
If Perry entered the race, it would be an earthquake. He would be a taller version of Mitch Daniels with hair. In other words, he would have the record of an effective governor but with television presence. Perry's baggage is less toxic than Romney's, and Perry would probably easily take the lead over Romney, Pawlenty, and Huntsman in the the former governor's category.
I think if Daniels doesn't enter the race, there will be an effort to draft Perry.
The MSM would try to tar Perry as "Bush's Lt Governor", but I don't know if that would stick.
Damn. I held my nose twice and voted for him as governor. I may have to hold my nose once again to vote for him as president.
All hat and no cattle. I would be much more impressed if he had deployed the state guard to our border.
If my establishment endorsed choices are Romney, Newt, Daniels, Pawlenty and Perry, Perry is my choice - even if he is an Aggie.
See my tagline. Nobody gets my vote just because there’s an “R” behind their name. Because that “R” usually stands for rino.
Lets see:
Amnesty? Check!
Open borders? Check!
Radical abuse of eminent domain? Check!
Goodhair is all set to run against Obama....in the Democrat Primaries.
Personally, I think a Perry presidency would be a repeat of the Bush presidency - for better and worse.
I noticed Rush was pimping him today, giving him a pass on past amnesty support. No thanks.

Our likely choices suck thus far.
I am not a huge fan of Perry, but
compared to Romney, Newt, and the rest of jokes running for President he’s a rock star.
Texas has been voted #1 business climate for the last seven years. .
Texas has been getting all of California’s jobs.
Perry must be doing something right.
We need a good business guy right now.
Perry has proved it.
. Perry has Romney’s looks without the other baggage.
Raised on a ranch. Has hair. 6’ tall
Looks presidential- especially after the muzzie
. Sarah Palin threw her endorsement to Rick Perry for governor.
. Pro-life, Pro-guns, pro-spending cuts, pro-business
. He’s an outside-the-Beltway candidate
. Fighting with Obama on many fronts
Google Perry/Obama and you will see he’s been fighting him and his government for the past two years.
. Since Perry has been Governor of Texas, Texas has added more than 850,000 jobs, more than all other states combined. Texas has added over 180,000 jobs since August of 2009.
. There is no such thing as ‘Perrycare’
. According to this web site Texas is #1 this year and last year for business friendly.

Obama would not want not run against a governor that has the BEST business climate in the U.S. when everything else is in a depression.
. He used to be a Democrat. So? So did Reagan.
• He refused to raise taxes when Texas faced a record $10 billion budget shortfall in 2003. Instead, he was the first Texas governor since World War II to sign a budget that lowered state spending (and has now done it twice). As governor, Perry has used his line item veto to cut over $3 billion in proposed spending.
• In 2005, Perry signed a historic $15.7 billion property tax cut for homeowners and businesses that also included new taxpayer protections against appraisal increases. In 2009, Gov. Perry secured a tax cut for approximately 40,000 small businesses in Texas and protected the Rainy Day Fund for future challenges.
• He led the battle to pass the country’s most sweeping lawsuit reforms, closing the door on junk lawsuits that had been making trial lawyers rich while driving countless doctors either out of the state or the profession all together. Since Texas voters approved these reforms, malpractice claims and premiums have fallen and access to healthcare is increasing across the state as doctors have applied in droves to practice in Texas.
. He is not a Ivy League grad
The Bush’s don’t like him
He was an Air Force captain who flew a C-130
. Speaks Spainish. (Odumbo says everybody should speak a foreign language, but he CAN’T)
Won governorship of state with lots of latinos
Americans will get it.
Better looking
Better record
Rick Perry for President.
