Gov. Rick Perry is back in the saddle.
Zeroing in on Mitt Romney like a prairie varmint and telling Herman Cain that they'll be "bumpin' tax plans" soon, Perry rode back into the middle of the Republican presidential race Tuesday night with some of his old swagger and his saddlebags still full of cash.
Ten weeks and four more TV debates away from the Iowa caucuses and the launch of election season, Perry remains the Anti-Romney.
If you're a Republican who can't stomach a former Massachusetts governor as the nominee, Perry has $17 million to win your vote between now and spring.

Gingrich isn't presently on my list of those I'd vote for in the primary, but I could certainly get behind that ticket.
Read my lips! “NO NEWT, NO HOW!”
Helloo, he was cutting PRIVATE sector jobs. He didn’t turn the business around by making it do better, he closed restaurants. Anyone can close businesses — what we need is NEW businesses and jobs.
Honestly, I felt sorry for the man. He seemed way over his head. I don’t see how anyone could think his performance was worthy of positive mentioning. I think he would get clobbered by Obama in the debates...and I don’t think Obama will do all that well. Now, Gingrich on the other hand...that would be something to see.
I’d vote for Newt in a heartbeat...even if for just a four year term...and i don’t care about his history....he’d not have time to fiddle around with the nonsense...times are not as they were then and he realizes what is a stack and has more than the ability to get things going and to navigate the “heads” in washington.
Eventually Rick’s JOBS record, in an era when JOBS are the issue, will begin to matter even in Northeast RINO country, and his energy plan is the pay off, now topped off with his ever popular FLAT tax proposal. Rick is seen bringing not one, but three winning tickets to the PAY window.
I thought I posted this to you already, recommending that you learn the facts, but maybe it was someone else.
Highly recommend you educate yourself about Texas job stats:

Of course, then Cain and others bought out Godfather’s Pizza on a leveraged buyout which is considered a rotten tactic.
“Did you know that the way he turned Godfather’s Pizza around was by closing 20% of the restaurants and laying off some 400 people — some job creator!”
Maybe he can use this in his next debate, when he goes deer in the headlights and loses his train of thought.
“Texas, under Perry, on the other hand created as many jobs as all the other 49 states put together.”
This is his current “train has left the station” mantra.
My advice to you is to wait for OCT 26, which is when Perry’s econ plan comes out and talk positively about the plan...instead of attacking Cain with negative threads all the time.
You’re the bad owner of a dog that makes everybody hate the dog...and I like Perry. Basically, you are not helping Perry.
The point is, he knows how to turn something that is failing around, to make it successful. If he can do it in the private sector, he can do it in gov’t. (Thought that was clear).
If government shrinks, the private sector is empowered, and job creators can get back to what they do best - create jobs, not deal with endless gov’t. regulations and mandates. Government doesn’t create jobs, and that would not be Cain’s responsibility. His part would be in cutting government.
Hey that is business. If he kept them open the Chain might have failed!
Newt and West...yep I’d be in on that one. West is really a man coming to his own in every way...so glad he’s in washington now...put with Newt they’d get things done with no learning curve getting in the way.
Two things:
1. That's how you turn around a struggling restaurant chain: close the under-performing units. Saves the jobs of the people working in the other 80%.
2. Isn't this exactly what you want to happen to the federal government? Get about 20% of it "disappeared"? Cain obviously is prepared to do it.
That would be a winning ticket for sure. Can you imagine the debates - Newt vs. Obama, and West vs. Biden???
That would be some great entertainment.
“You’re the bad owner of a dog that makes everybody hate the dog...”
Have you told that to any of the vicious Perry haters who have been showing up on every Perry thread, mercilessly bashing Perry, including lying about him outrageously and continuosly insulting his supporters?
If you haven’t, then you are just being hypocritical, trying to find something to attack someone who dares to point out a few TRUTHS about Cain, such as his own words, that seem to change every day. He was for the fence, before it was a joke, then before he tought it’s a good idea afterall. Yes, that’s real presidential material.
Yes, Cain turned around Godfather’s by getting rid of menu items that were not selling, and closing restaurants that over-saturated regional areas.
You ignored the fact the he turned 450 of the least profitable BK’s into the most profitable BK’s in the country.
Again, he did this by analyzing the menu, deciding which items were poor performers and cut them or lowered the price on some.
He’ll do the same with Government programs - instead of these 5% “across the board” cuts some candidates are talking about, Cain wants to analyze each government program and decide if it should be cut by 5%, 50%, or altogether.
That’s the type of thinking that will resonate with the public, not the same old tired “across the board” spending cuts.
Cain is a demonstrable success in various economic ventures.
The POTUS is basically the CEO of the US and the most successful CEO of the bunch is Herman Cain.
His 9-9-9 plan is a winner, and will create jobs and turn the economy around.
I haven’t heard any of these other candidates come up with anything other than the same old cronyism and none of them are pushing a flat tax, a fair tax or anything like 9-9-9
None of them want to do away with the IRS because their friends like Warren Buffet will be able to avoid paying 1 Billion in back taxes since 2002
Then Buffet comes out and says his Secretary pays more in taxes?
Buffet doesn’t appear to be paying any taxes, seeing how he owes 1 Billion in back taxes.
It seems everyone is paying more in taxes than Buffet.
No more RINO’s - No more capital cronyism. No more earmarks and political favors and 6 figure pensions for government workers that retire at age 55. It’s bankrupting our country and is unsustainable.
Cain is the only candidate that isn’t the typical politician who will not change a thing once he gets into the WH like these RINO’s.
“Did you know that the way he turned Godfather’s Pizza around was by closing 20% of the restaurants and laying off some 400 people — some job creator!”
No one goes into business to create jobs. The only reason anyone ever goes into business is to make money. And the only reason a businessman would ever hire somebody is if he helps him make MORE money. Until this simple truth is accepted and embraced (instead of vilified) there will never be job creation.
By cutting expenses and eliminating the non performing restaurants, he made the remaining ones healthy (saving lots of jobs), which allowed him to improve product and service and grow his business, make more money (and add more jobs).
The man is a completely untrustworthy opportunist, whom if given the power, will thumb his nose at all of us while we watch him cram his real MODERATE agenda down our throats.
He is a professional TALKER like Cain, and a master of telling you just what he knows you want to hear. Never forget that about Gingrich. He has proven what I say countess times.
Combined with a viagra commercial...
Actually, I would be delighted if he could do the same thing to this bloated federal bureaucracy.
Honestly, they're all uninspiring, dismal prospects. Perry included.
