Although I think Perry is about as good a candidate as we have, Land is an uber-weasel and part of the problem at the SBC.

I hope it’s true.

We don’t need any more Bushes, thank you very much.

I evaluate candidates on their determination to seal the borders and deport the crimigrants.

I suppose by now it's a lost cause.

Let's see. He does not keep campaign promises as well as Bush; that's a start.

Perry is more conservative than Bush. He would be the most conservative president since Calvin Coolidge both fiscally and in foreign policy. He would be less interventionist in the latter and far more frugal than "compassionate" in the former. Perry also has a well-deserved reputation in Texas as being a less-forgiving political opponent than Bush. If you cross Perry, he will get even.

If true, on all counts, sign me up.

I’m not all that familiar with Land, although I thought he was considered a leader of the evangelicals.

I agree , Perry is no George W Bush. Bush didn't set up a Chicago styled pay to play scheme like Perry did to Texas.

This is all fine and good about the personal life and personal characteristics of Mr. Perry.

It provides no informed view of Perry’s own operating principles of government, our governments, no informed view of Perry policies or decisions as governor, and no informed view of potential Perry policies as POTUS.

It’s a nice puff piece but not much else.

I’m not for or against Perry at this time. However, the climate has changed since George Bush, compliments of the Tea Party, and Perry will have real conservatives in his corner, whereas Bush was bogged down with RINOS.

I am not a George Bush fan, but one thing I will give him is that he is not corrupt, Perry, on the other hand ....

Great! Now. What was it he said? Oh yeah...”We must say to every Texas child learning in a Texas classroom, ‘we don’t care where you come from, but where you are going, and we are going to do everything we can to help you get there.’” he said. “And that vision must include the children of undocumented workers.

My only problem with Perry is, he is Mr. Dream Act.
