Press Asks Perry ... Are You Packing Heat?
FoxNation.com ^ | Aug 15 | Staff

Posted on 08/15/2011 2:52:30 PM PDT by JesseWatters

Texas Gov. Rick Perry is a leading advocate of gun rights who likes to boast of having dispatched a coyote on a recent jog, so I asked him during today's walking press conference at the Iowa State Fair whether he was armed. "I never comment on whether I'm carrying a handgun or not," he said. "That's why it's called concealed." (If he was armed, he could have found himself in hot water with the state police over a ban at the fair that has rankled some local gun groups.) Perry's appearance at the fair, where he challenged reporters on whether they were "tough" enough to walk with him, chomped on meat and a hard-boiled egg and struck rugged poses was a well-staged political triumph.

The MSM is gonna get apoplectic over this Texan. Which is why I'm really getting interested.

Perry had best be on guard with these jackals in the media. They are not reporters; they are liberal foot soldiers and will use every means at their disposal to undo Perry’s candidacy.

Good answer. A+

He needed to pull out a bottle of gas tank heat and said yes.

Jesse, you really know how to ask hard hitting policy questions. WOW!
Methinks that maybe you should stay in the New York to Washington area. You sure as shit do not understand life west of the Potomac.

Of course he’s packing heat.

You never know when there’s a coyote lurking nearby.

The BLOOD OF TYRANTS (AND MEDIA) . With any kind of luck the process will happen in the middle of a Lone Star desert. I'd be darned if I ever tell anyone if I was packing.

AN ARMED SOCIETY IS A POLITE SOCIETY!!!!.

IN LIBERTY!!!!

That would be the correct answer.

As soon as I read something that makes me doubt Perry’s conservatism, he says something that GETS MY VOTE.

I will take all attacks on him with a grain of salt. No one is perfect, and everyone SHOULD be given a chance to defend or explain their actions.

And he has really really great hair, has less of a Texas drawl than my previous favorite George W. Bush, and I bet he can throw a baseball a lot better than Obummer & has never ridden a girl’s bicycle wearing Mom jeans.

He doesn’t have to be taught how to salute (and will never attempt to shake a saluting Marine’s hand as Obummer did the first few times he boarded AF1). I have never forgotten that image - O wanted to do anything except salute - because that is a military action, and he hates the military.

Came from a poor family, one room schoolhouse, Eagle Scout, pilot in the military, already knows how to salute - can’t imagine him leading a conga line thru the WH party rooms - the race is getting really interesting.

The dems should be very afraid.

As it stands, I’ll bet there are pee-panted bloggers furiously screeding that he MIGHT HAVE CARRIED A GUN IN A NO GUN ZONE!

Is the author queer? He sure writes like a limp-wristed simpering faggot.

MSM reporters are liberal foot soldiers whose mission in life is to frag or disrupt any conservative candidate they run across.

Before you get too interested, step back and read up on Perry and the Agha Khan and his oversll chumminess with Islam.

I attended Perry’s prayer meeting in Reliant stadium so I should be his defender, but I don’t think we need another muslim symphatizer in the WH, ever.

“struck rugged poses”

That kind of cracks me up. The writer sure comes off as a bit of a poofer.

I’m still in Sarah’s corner, but Perry is looking better all the time.
