Since it is yet another Perry thread...there is an attempt to overthrow the instate tuition policies enacted by Perry.
Do you have oil and gas royalties in TX.? Do you pay taxes on them?
Are you opposed to instate tuition for illegals? If you are I can guide you to the attorney gathering plaintiffs...very reputable....

Executive experience is important, but not the most important consideration. In the last election cycle Mike Huckabee was the GOP candidate with the most executive experience and he was my absolute last choice to be the nominee. What good is executive experience if you are going to use that experience to increase the reach of government? In this case, the reach of government is already pushing the point of no return and the number one criteria I have for supporting a candidate is a willingness to take a chainsaw to the federal budget. If a candidate comes along, who is willing to do this and has executive experience, all the better. Rick Perry has the most executive experience of any other potential candidate running, but is he willing to take a chainsaw to the federal budget? I am open to being convinced.

I live in Texas, and yes I like Perry except for 2 BIG BIG things #1 is the TTC, where private ranch lands would be confiscated & sometimes diveded (where a rancher can’t even get to the other side of his property because the gov has confiscated his private land with a (foreign toll road highway). #2 the federal law enforcing us to educate illgals must be abolished. It’s killing our school districts.
Also, my county has not experienced much down turn during this crisis, AGAIN, I live in Texas, maybe we need some Union thugs to run the illegals off?

The only thing Obama has experience running is his mouth. And that hasn’t changed since 2008.

I reject the premise of this entire column; that BHO is not succesful.

He has been wildly succesful, beyond the dreams of even the most socialist.

i just started asking my buddies about perry. no one here in ca knows much. i know bachmann, i know palin, to a lesser extent i know cain and santorum. know the rinos very well.

“executive experience” is overrated. we’ve got a bunch of executives here who make and made lousy politicians. that won’t win any support from me. rino romney has lots of “executive” experience, apparently lots of it as a corporate raider.

entreprenureal experience. a record of having started and maintained an original business from scratch type of “executive” means more to me. even better taking a failing business and resurecting it.

what do conservatives in his own state think of him.

IMO Hussein Obama’s inexperience is not his biggest problem

His biggest problem is his arrogance and innate stupidity.

I know they claim Obama is the smartest man since Einstein, but it just aint so.

A smart person would appoint competent people to help him look good.

Obama has appointed his friends ,liberals ,people who share his anti-American ideas, Tax cheats ,homosexuals,incompetents like himself.

He listens to no one and goes about his way acting more like a king than a President.

O.K., as a Conservative Texan, along with others on this website, I’m tired of trying to convince people that:

#1. Texas has a Constitutionally “weak” Governor; primarily Veto and Cermeonial, that’s it.

#2. Rick Perry is a light-weight. If you were disappointed in George W., you’ll hate Rick Perry.

#2. The only reason he keeps getting reelected is because Texas is a deep red State and he has wimpy opponents.

So, go ahead, sing his Praises, vote for him or whatever the hell you wanna do but, YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!

The only good thing that can be said about Perry is that his opponents were even worse.
