It’s too late and too many bad appearances.

Perry had his shot at the brass ring

And blew it...

And blew it....

And blew it......

Gingrich - Plug and play... tested under real life conditions.

Perry - Looks good, but does not perform as advertised.

Santorum - Some assembly required and missing parts.

Paul - Too many hazard warnings, parental supervision required, defective parts, eyebrows included, can cause hallucinations.

This is where the author screws-up bigtime:

“While I sympathize (and generally agree) with Federal Reserve bashing, right now it is a moot point...”

No, it is anything but a moot point.

“...the current Federal Reserve leadership is the single most dangerous contributor to the current economic climate in this country...”

“...[Ben]Bernanke has been a boon to the volatility feeders. We are at the abyss here you know. So many of us know it, but nobody – very few…want to openly communicate that fact. The situation of this country is frightening. I cannot begin to…my words won’t do justice to just how dangerous this situation has become.

what is the abyss?

“…Money has an inherent value. The borrowing of money is to have an inherent cost. That relationship is to be a symbiotic one. If you take away one, it can kill the other...What the Federal Reserve is doing is killing off that relationship – that critical symbiotic component of a free-market economy. We are on this day a more centralized economy than at any other point in our history. Fiscal contagion can spread from nation to nation with a single click. Trillions upon trillions in value has been wiped out of the market by the printing of money with lessening value. When you wonder why Wall Street has succeeded under President Obama while Main Street continues to struggle is simply because Main Street still exists in some semblance of a free market economy. That relationship between the value of money and the cost of borrowing that value still exists. Wall Street has been allowed to exist outside of that reality. The Fed has made it so, and the result…we are nearing just the beginnings of that result – will be outright economic disaster. 2008? Nothing. 1929? Yes – that is where we are going here. And with that kind of economic chaos – what is soon to follow? Read you history. War. Famine. A total shock to the system, except this time, we have a proliferation of nuclear weapons, countries such as Iran, North Korea, Pakistan, they will be directly involved in this chaos. And of course there is China…”

“Among the most frustrating things following the collapse of the Soviet Union was the repeated phrase that the Cold War had ended. Not so. China remained. China, who by then was a far greater economic threat to the United States than the Soviet Union – they were conveniently forgotten as part of that Cold War. Our intellectual laziness in that regard has now come home to roost. And we are cutting ourselves. Death by a thousand cuts. Every deficit dollar we print, we come closer to that abyss. We are at 40 or 50 trillion in total debt in this country – and in an economy that is no longer growing anywhere near a pace that can even pretend to accommodate such a debt. The folly of the New Deal and the Great Society and that entire mindset is choking the future of the nation. Literally choking the life out of us. Me, you, our kids, our grandkids…nothing will be left for them but pieces of what used to be, and a world ready and willing to feed off those scraps.”

“And these labor unions – the shift from private to governmental unionization…the inherent legacy costs of that scenario is simply unsustainable. The free market cannot withstand the attack. It is collapsing all about us now and too many are simply not paying attention. The only hope for our recovery – the only hope, is our ability to grow our way out of this. That growth, along with massive cuts in government spending, is the only way. Nations such as Greece, Ireland, Italy, Spain …they have come to this understanding, but have only been able to do so with the assistance of other nations who in turn are printing their own deficit dollars in order to do so. That situation cannot be sustained, can it? And certainly not without growth. Do you know the number of payroll jobs in 1999 was approximately 130 million? That is the same number as in 2011. Zero growth. This economic stagnation is leading to economic decapitation and it is coming sooner not later. It is happening NOW. If this nation does not elect leaders with the political will to do battle with the entitlement status quo, to do battle with the monster that is the Federal Reserve, we are finished. Done...”

********************************************

I cannot see that Gov.Rick Perry, the politician who demands pay for play and politics to power, is going to save our butts on this issue.

Dear Perry the Spoiler, Please STOP helping Willard the Lib this time and we conservatives will forgive you for endorsing Rudy the Lib last time. Signed, Newt Speaker Gingrich-led Republicans….the result: * Voting on each of the Contract with America items * Four consecutive balanced budgets * Over $500 billion of debt paid off * Major welfare reform accomplished * 11 million new jobs for America * Unemployment falling to under 4%.

There is much to like about Rick perry, as his attitude is well adjusted, he looks like a rugged Texas Ranger who is comfortable in his own skin, and he is not easily swayed by the passions of the moment.

But, cuss it all, he is a fumblemouth. He knows full well what he WANTS to say, but the neurological pathways from his thinking cortex to his mouth seem to get jammed up, and he has trouble getting it out.

You can’t unmake a first impression.
