So once again, Herman Cain said what he was FOR while everybody else was just saying what they were against, and now we’re finally hearing what the others are for.
?????...before the month is over,Perry will announce while President, if elected, he will personally stand guard at the border to help stem the flow of illegals.....
I am sorry, but I think it’s too little too late. Nothing can turn this around for Perry as long as he clings to his position on instate tuition for illegals.
He could maybe sqeak by with debate performances like the last one, but he is persona non grata to conservatives as long as he continues to support the tuition brake for illegal aliens. He either caves or it’s over.
And I was just about to skip the next debate in favor of the Comedy Hour.....but this is just going to be too good to miss.
Flat tax is a great idea.
May be coming too late for Perry.
Better if proposed 2 months ago.
Whatever Perry tries to do to mollify conservatives will not mitigate his checkered past (demrat, Gore shill and global warming shill). Nor will it mitigate his appalling illegal immigration stance and his signing hate speech legislation into law.
Therefore, I give this press release a firm tripple yawn.
This is typical Perry. He has no original ideas of his own, and is nothing but a career politician with no principles, but thinks that he can climb on the Tea Party bandwagon by adopting conservative ideas which have been circulating in the movement literally for decades.
GREAT! Let us see the details.
Seek here is an article from an old Navy buddy of mine retired Super Chief, lives in Dallas. Have fun.
Perry...??? The guy is not ready for prime time. He’s a West Texas hick that staggered through A&M and had the good fortune to be the Lt. Gov. when Bush resigned to head for the White House. He is a hero around here because most of the voters here are as stupid as he is. A lot of folks here like him because he talks like us and he totes a pistol, also like us.
Texas is a funny place, politically. The real power is not in the Governor’s mansion... It’s with the leaders in the legislature. So, the Gov. can sleep through a couple of terms and get the credit if things go well.
Another thing about Perry is that he considers himself a Texan first and a Republican second; also trait of a lot of pols here. Remember he was a Democrat before he was a Republican but if you ask him, his political philosophy has not changed. This state is full of Democrats who don’t believe in gun control, abortion, welfare or anything else the Dems espouse. They vote Democrat because, “My daddy was a Democrat, his daddy was a Democrat and I’m a Democrat! They are for the small man!” Even now with a Republican majority in most of Texas it’s hard to get anyone to admit that they are a Republican.
He has no business running for anything outside Texas. At any rate, after his recent debate performances his run should be just about over. He is getting a few pats on the back for shouting back at Romney but his grasp of national issues is lacking and folks will soon figure that out. He should be back home where he belongs pretty soon. We don’t have a prayer of electing another Texan, thanks to George Bush.
What’s that old saying about the big fish in a small pond?
