Don’t Settle: Rick Perry for President.
RedState ^ | December 19, 2011 | Dan McLaughlin (Diary)

"If this website has a purpose – if any conservative website or publication has a purpose – it must begin with electing conservatives to significant public offices. We have the chance to nominate a conservative for president and win the White House in 2012. We can fumble that chance away by settling for a nominee we can’t trust to pursue conservative policies in office, or we can make a stand for the best, most conservative potential president in the field. That’s Rick Perry, and we enthusiastically endorse him to be the 45th President of the United States."

Yes, things change. Now if you mention Newt’s support for amnesty or his global warming involvement, you are attacked and your name is added to some list. I believe the Newt skeptics list was supposed to be ready today, but apparently mom is using basement today.

I just read this in the Des Moines Register: http://blogs.desmoinesregister.com/dmr/index.php/2011/12/19/des-moines-area-falls-50-places-in-job-growth-study/

Note the top five cities are all in TX. We need to duplicate this kind of success nationwide.

Remember when Pres. W couldn’t name the president of one of the “Stan” countries? Remember how the press went after his dumbness? Now they’re after Rick Perry. The game ain’t over till it’s over, even if the press has picked TWO rinos, so far, to lead this nation.

Perry IS dumb...the liberal media would not even have to make stuff up. He’s not electable...he blew it, left a first and then second impression that he doesn’t know much.

I have a greater feeling that 49/50 states would prefer a Texan, veteran, job creator born of American Presidents to a kenyan bastard.

>>Perry’s reputation in Texas is very different from Bush’s. Bush was all about bipartisan bonhomie; Perry has left the state littered with the political corpses of people who stood in his way.

Oh that’s good news! Gov. Perry appears to be a very gracious man — so it’s good to hear that he knows how to prevail in a political fight.<<

Exactly, it was Bush’s “bipartisan bonhomie” that pushed him toward supporting the global warming scam in his second term. Wouldn’t want to appear to be too much of an outsider, you know. And then there was his failure to rein in a profligate Republican Congress in his first term. Better we should have had a few “political corpses”, even if they were Republican, during that era.

“Too many on here don’t want smaller government, they just want the government to waste tax dollars on what they want.”

Your candidate Ron Paul is no exception :

He had a half- billion dollars of special interest earmarks over the last two years . One for two million dollars was for bike racks, trash cans, and decorative street lighting in one of the cities in his district.

Actually Ron Paul has made note of his earmarks himself, it’s his way of getting money that was taken from the citizens of the state of Texas by the federal government through oppressive taxation back to Texas.

That’s not big government, try again.

Here’s the problem. All Perry has to do is make one gaffe (very likely) against Obama and it is over. They will rerun it over and over again and convince the neanderthals to vote for Obama again.

He tried to squirm out of it at the dabate, claiming he did it for hiway funds, etc.

And you should be aware that they are wrong if they don’t think Perry is a conservative.

This Texan is sick of having a Kenyan in the white house, but do what you want.

Sorry, but I would now consider voting for Perry as settling bigtime!

I suppose, if he is still running when I vote, I will settle for Perry over Newt in a heartbeat.

Hey, man up. Perry may make a verbal gaffe or two but he has a record to run on.

The liberal press will find negatives about anyone we run. Let’s run the best guy and defend him.
