Even though he is a smoker he’s doing a heck of a job?
Silly statement.
Smokers are just as capable as anyone else.
You might have also mentioned that Ike, who wrote all of MacArthur’s speeches hated grand eloquence. His wartime papers also reveal him to be an excellent writer, and a master of detail. He hated small-talk and was all business, but always good company at the bridge-table. A quick visit to his house at Gettsyburg farm shows at a glance that he was at heart a retired Army colonel, who loved to cook and had an outdoor grill that was bigger than the kitchen which was small enough for him to prepare his meals himself or for a few guests if he so desired. He was also a hard man beneath that smile, and pace, Rush, even on the golf course, he was always in command of his administration.
Thanks! Please feel free to use my observation wherever you believe it might provoke thoughtful consideration.
The upcoming campaigns must not focus on mere issues of the day. If they do, the current Administration wins.
On the other hand, I believe that if the conservative nominee holds firm to a focus on our founding principles, as outlined by the Founders themselves, then Obama has no intellectual weapons for responding. His study and life have been devoted to the study and pursuit of ideas which conflict with the ideas of liberty for individuals.
I know. I used to be one. :o) And I was in advertising and public relations, too. But I think that ad is over most people’s heads.

Yes, General Eisenhower was a great person. As I said, he was a good president. And though Mamie was very sweet, I didn’t like her hair do. But poor Mamie, Ike had a long standing love affair, much as FDR did.
” As for Perry, if you can’t think on your feet,.”
Perry flew T-38 supersonic jets before he commanded
the C-130 Hercules and flew them globally.
He can obviously think and perform in critical situations.
The ones that count.
Not performing for the media.
LOL!!!
Have a wonderful weekend , gw! :)
Must be a Friday night thing!
...and a happy weekend to you, too, smooth.
Perry has to be extraordinarily dumb NOT to know the so-called "drug wars" are being orchestrated by salivating Mexicans---to get their greedy hands on more and more US tax dollars.
So-called "drug wars" did not heat up until Congress passed The Merida Initative---which rains down millions on Mexico "to fight the drug wars. "
The "drug wars" facilitate millions of illegals to pour over the border claiming "asylum---which gets them a special SS benefit. Mexico trains their citizens how to collect----b/c illegals are Mexico's "voting bloc"----here to pressure vote-crazed Congressman for more and more US tax dollars.
==================================================
Perry says the feds won't help him----but this con artist fails to say HE is in control of the state's Ntl Guard---Perry himself can send as many NG as he wishes to control the border........but he won't. And we should ask why.
Texas Freepers report several drug cartels operate openly in Texas unimpeded by Texas L/E. La Familia is in Austin not far from the state house, and the savage Los Zetas operate their distribution center in Dallas.....beheadings are the Zetas signature savagery.
Perry has done nothing to stop this.
I could ski and ride horses, but that doesn’t mean I had the qualifications to be president.
What would you describe as Cain’s qualifications to be
Commander in Chief and POTUS ?
Mr. Cain’s qualifications?
The very qualifications he has brought multiple very large companies out of near bankruptcy with. He has been a very successful CEO (Chief Executive Officer) and has the skills and the mind and the heart to pull America out of it’s Socialistic doldrums.
AS I’ve said elsewhere, no one man can do it alone. We must clean the House and the Senate and replace crusty and corrupt career politicians with practical conservatives fresh from the private sector as well! I would love to hear Mr. Cain speak of term limits for Congress: 3 terms for the House and 2 terms for the Senate with no pensions. Not only would that save a great deal of taxpayer money, it would assist Mr. Cain in the enormous job he is facing.
You are putting a lot of responsibility on Texas for what properly MUST be done by the Federal Government. Plus you are expecting Perry to take on the movers and shakers in the state. I don’t know any governor who has ever done that. Nor any members of the congressional delegation.
Oh please---Perry is cozy with all the special interests. One of 'em even got his own regulatory agency ---- in exchange for a big donation to Ricky.
Checkout the report ---- "The Governor's Gusher" ----which delineates the ways Ricky and the boys are all in bed together.
Ricky has one neat little trick---wherein he opines on a bill WRT the real concerns of Texans---then cues the Big Boys to lobby the legislature to defeat the bill. All of 'em are amply rewarded for helping out.
Trusting Texans dont know what hit 'em---and commiserate with a governor "betrayed" by an evil legislature.
That's how they rock and roll in Texas.
And you expect anything else from a Texas governor? Was the same with Ann Richards, except her inner-circle was slightly different. Fact is Of the big three, Lt. Gov,, Gov, and Speaker, Perry is the most conservative. Furthermore, there is no conservative majority in the legislature. Twenty more conservative legistators and we have a different Speaker, and then maybe you get co-operation from Perry. But I am throwing no rocks at Perry so long as we have who we have as LtG. Need to work to get Cruz in place in as US Senator But don’t expect miracles.
