“I don’t believe you know how much better you have it in Texas than you would in other states, esp CA.”
Oh, I do. I lived a long time in CA also. And I’ve said that Perry has done fine here economically (by doing nothing), but he still hasn’t DONE JACK as a conservative.
And the out of surgery thing is a new talking point to try and save face. No sale there, either.
I will give you the reason Perry isn't winning, nor will he:
This country does not want Bush 2.0, period. That's is what he is, even worse, and the MSM will portray and destroy Perry as such. He has no chance in hell of beating Obama.
And that's why voters are staying away.
Paul actually stated during the debate that “I am the only Democrat...” ...it was priceless.
“Did I finally stumbled upon a Ron Paul supporter...LOL “
LOL...no, there are a LOT of conservatives here in Texas that are, frankly, EMBARRASSED, to see states like Arizona and Alabama leading the effort to crack down on Illegals, while our state CODDLES THEM.
same here. Paul for me is nothing but a nutcase who is more liberal and yes he is than even republican let alone conservative.
He needs to run on the libertarian ticket and use their platform instead of using the GOP- platform to spew his nutty views to his nutcase supporters.
How would you like to be the enemy and sit across the table looking at that...enough to scare you into saying yes sir and no sir....
“Many gays and lesbians are strongly conserevative warriors.”
Someone should tell the Commies, then, as an essential part of their agenda is the promotion of perverted sex and the undermining of the nuclear family.
But...we’re not. We just have a governor (and legislature) that simply does nothing and lets the cancer continue to grow (i.e., Illegal Immigration).
And folks wonder why I'm not giving Perry my unwavering, unadulterated, full-throated support.
I'm sure that most of those who get pissed at me about what I think of Perry haven't had their businesses destroyed by illegal immigration - which my Governor has done little to nothing to stop.
Nope. He thinks that tough anti-illegal immigration laws like Arizona's are "wrong for Texas." He'd better not ever say that to my wife's face. She'd knock him on his kiester.
Yikes! Headlines tonight and in the morning!

Perry: Re-invade Iraq... http://drudge.tw/yxZI7E
That’s because Paul and Huntsman got huge amounts of time. I would love to see a debate with the 4 contenders. And was it really necessary to spend almost 1/2 an hour on gay marriage?
Agreed. Every one of them was manipulated into attacking each other by agreeing to such a stupid debate in the first place. Because the weak, effete, Republican elite don't actually know any conservatives, they allow these ridiculous formats moderated by 100% liberals. The people who agreed to these debates should be banished permanently from the Republican party.
Perry is done. That Iraq line was the final straw. It will be spun that he ‘meant something else’. But Perry’s crazy responses to only be interpreted by handlers have worn out their welcome.
HE DID , PAUL ACTUALLY SAID HE WAS THE ONLY DEM
WOW JUST WOW, now it really confirms what a total nutcase and how he has lost it, no wonder his son did not look happy last week in OH
This country does not want Bush 2.0, period. That's is what he is, even worse, and the MSM will portray and destroy Perry as such. He has no chance in hell of beating Obama.
When I first heard that Perry was getting into the race, I scratched my head and wondered why he and his backers hadn't stopped to consider that most Americans would reject yet ANOTHER Texas Governor for president so soon after Dubya.
Setting his less-than-conservative record (and reputation) aside, that was the first thing that caused me to believe that his presidential bid was a fool's errand.
All that gay marriage/contraception crap was to try to knock Santorum out of the race. He said, as a practicing Catholic, that he doesn’t believe in contraception and the lib heads are still exploding.
That would be Bush 3.0, but your points are otherwise correct. And B3.0 would be the only candidate easier for Obama to beat than Romney. Perry lacks the skill to overcome the characterization. He should stay in TX where the brand is recognized as a good governor.
He would also find out that Jindal = conservative in Louisiana is another misnomer.
His audience isn't head over heels in love with Perry, and they're not going to choose him as their nominee, no matter how big Rush grins every time he hears his name.
Perry was a National Guard Pilot and Paul was an Active Duty Air Force Flight Surgeon and then with the Air National Guard.
I don't know which debate you watched but the one I watched ABC New Hampshire Paul and Perry got by far the least amount of time.
