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

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.

Actually, his family wasn’t poor by rural Texas standards, just relative to urban areas and up north. Land rich, you know. And it wasn’t a one-room school house, but about 12 and a gym. Still tiny. Not to quibble with you, just clarify. I loved your post, and I love Rick. He’s going to be great for our country. I’m so glad to hear people are willing to give him a chance after the slander thats been posted here over the last couple of days.

can’t imagine him leading a conga line thru the WH party rooms

Or then there was Professional skateboarder Tony Hawk skating through the hallowed halls of the Whitehouse prior to President Obama's fathers day festival.

Skateboarders described it as "Rad", and said, "Obama Dude, You da Man."

Guess Perry better not count on the Skateboarding vote come 2012.

That's quite an inaccurate spinning of Governor Perry's position on Islam. Aga Khan is the leader of the Ismaili sect of Shia Isla, a persecuted Shia minority in Saudia Arabia. They are not orthodox 'Islam' in any way.

This is a made up issue by opponents of Gov. Perry. Center for Security Policy spokesperson Dave Reaboi dismissed Elliott’s article as a cynical and futile attempt to provoke anti-Sharia conservatives over a non-issue ...

Perry knows all about the media...in fact, as has Palin...he gives them NO ground...he’s been governor for well over 10 years and learned all about the scums....so you can trust Perry ain’t wet behind the ears...as Palin learned the hard way...he’s had the exposure...and deals with them accordingly...they can’t set the traps for him as what we saw happen to Palin...

Idiot reporter: "Gov Perry, are you armed" ?

Gov Perry: "Keep asking me stupid questions and you will find out"

I’m like you about Perry, but this video shows a very positive side. Perry invites Andrew Breitbart and other bloggers to a shooting range.

“The dems should be very afraid.”

They are! You should see all the dirty dirt they are trying to throw at him already. The old guardasil thing (which he allowed to be changed), oh and it’s really cute when you read how some libs have an issue with how he campaigned against Kay Bailey Hutchison...as if they cared a whit!

“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!”

Yep, the reporter at POLITICO who asked him was mentioning how he could have been breaking the rules. They are trying so hard!!! Oh and I keep hearing mentions of how he is a closet homosexual,,no proof of course.

What kind of a question is that? The real question to ask would be if he was still carrying the HK USP or had he switched back to the Kimber Ultra-Carry II.

Inquiring minds want to know...

I forgot - and you are going to love this,,one responder on POLITICO actually trying to state Perry is a closet dictator because he,,and I am quoting here: “keeps pointing up at the sky like dictators do.”

I am dead serious. You really need to go read POLITICO for a good laugh. Ben Smith is an unabashed Dem shill and he repeated this story,,”manly poses” and all,,even said Perry was eating beef jerky,,I mean, seriously..they have clue what to do and Perry seems totally unfazed by it all

I have to wonder if this would be such a big deal if you-know-who wasn’t as much into fish and game as she is.
