Does Perry have a plan? (We need more detailed answers to policy questions than just “Texas.”)

>>> “ He has a plan but it’s a secret. “ <<<<

Seriously, that is funny!! I love Rick but don’t disagree with the column.

A turn around in his campaign and a staff shake up needs to make an immediate appearance. It is necessary that Perry’s campaign live up to Perry, on giving no quarter. His campaign obviously lacks savy in the form of a media control guy/gal, a war room similar to the ALAMO, and a policy platform that roars, with a solid attack army of supporters out there selling his astounding JOBS record, and a RUBIO performance on how to voice your principles. Riding on ripping Romney goes only so far, before it becomes a bore since Romney is already vetted by the same old complaints. That’s why Romney is not running away with it just yet. He is about to however, and has plenty of help in the other candidates in finishing Rick.

Yes, Perry has a plan for you but it’s in Spanish.

Early on Perry looked like a great option if Sarah Palin doesn't run. The more I learn about Perry, the better Herman Cain and (I cannot believe I am saying this) even Newt Gingrich look.

You forgot a couple key Perry points

Amnesty for illegals
Open borders
Crony capitalism

Outside of Texas people don't vote for a candidate just because he acts like a cowboy and talks like a conservative when he's really not one.

“La respuesta del Gobernador Perry es simplemente no, la respuesta al problema de la migración no es cerrar las fronteras, sino al contrario, abrirlas”

“People from Texas oppose a fence because of eminent domain, for about 1000 miles, much of which is in the middle of nowhereville. “

If they don’t want to help defend the country from criminals and terrorists who want to sneak in then maybe we should build the fence around their property.

He needs to get some focus. Serious focus. If he wants to be president, he needs to change and change fast. We don't need him to change personality or who he is, just how he presents himself. That is learned. Just remember what the media did to Sarah after her first interview. She went back and practiced, honed her skills and came out again and rolled right over everyone.

He has the management skills, he has the people skills, he just needs the debate skills and someone to make sure he isn't working 24 hours a day.

I consider Hotair, Media Matters, Politico and a number of others left wing or leaning to.

He did say those things, but someone needs to be teaching him that you can’t just say something once. You have to repeat it over and over and get forceful with what you are saying. Most people have the attention span of a knat, so it’s not like talking to folks, you just have to go over and over something.

Hot Air is a RINO site and while liberal, Politico hardly falls into a class with Media Matters.

I know I am painting with a broad brush, I find most lacking in giving Obozo his just due.

Media Matters is self-described as progressive. Politio is more mainstream media, so it leans left, but not entirely. But HotAir? I'm sure Michelle Malkin would be surprised to hear that her baby had turned out a lefty.

Okay, I'll bite. What do you consider to be a reliably conservative news and commentary site? (apart from FR, of course).

National Review has become wishy washy for quite a while.

Heritage and TownHall?

You do realize that HotAir is part of the Townhall network. And their associate editor is formerly of Heritage (which you list).

Sorry, still don't see a basis for the claim that HotAir is leftist.

Under “Jobs,” we find five paragraphs of conservative boilerplate. The most detailed sentence refers to “low taxes, reasonable regulations, a predictable civil litigation system and an educated workforce.”

Exactly.

Can any Perry supporter tell me how much he would cut the federal budget and what level of deficit he would veto? Is $1T too much? What about $500B? When will he start to veto if it’s not balanced? 2014? 2015?
