Perry is a good governor. However what sunk him was his open border policy that was/is right in line with the Dems. Having said that, he is doing a great thing talking to gun mfg’s in New England. It is a great thing.
Almost all heavy armored vehicles,including the M1 Abrams, are made in ONE place - Lima, Ohio. Get that moved to Texas then you really have something going on.
It's an English ripoff of socialist Cesar Chavez's "Sí, se puede" (coined as a union slogan for migrant farmworkers 40 years ago) that is now being used by the La Raza shamnesty crowd.
Most Congress Critters are an excellent fit for presiding over the decline and fall of the USSA. They represent the moochers and looters who put them in office in the first place.
Conservatives and libertarians are the new RINOs. The GOP and the Democrats both consider us to be the enemy, and they have a majority coalition will support them until the financial house of cards implodes.
Meanwhile, Buffalo has hired celeb spokes people to tout the city as a Renaissance location for establishing business.
The commercial is a joke
...a kid in the 50’s and 60’s...
Back in the 50’s and 60’s even Massachusetts didn’t suck.
Now it does.
There was a time when New England was called “The Arsenal of Democracy” because they supplied so many of the world’s armies.
I agree. Most of the young guns in Congress are just that - young guns. We need someone with experience at running a state because God knows this person is going to inherit one heck of a tangled mess. Ha, I’d love to hear a GOP candidate talk about what he/she will inherit - God knows zero complained enough - funny, he hasn’t mentioned lately what he inherited.
In ‘16, Cruz will have had four years experience in the Senate. That’s hardly prep for POTUS, as we’ve seen.
It’s one thing to think Cruz (or Rubio or whoever the star of the day might be) is doing great. That doesn’t mean he has the experience needed to be an effective POTUS. There’s NO executive experience in the Senate. After 4 years in the Senate (2 of which would necessarily be spent campaigning), they’ve barely learned where the keys to the men’s room are, much less where all the bodies are buried in the federal bureaucracy.
Unfortunately the Office of POTUS has become more a matter of celebrity and who we ‘like’ than qualifications to do the job effectively.
One can’t base experience in the U.S. Senate as evidence of insufficient preparation. The Punk could have served 40 years as a governor of Illinois and still been a economy-crippling disaster. I can’t think of anyone who would inspire more confidence and exude more competence in the WH than Sen. Cruz. The only person I’d be almost as pleased to see there is Gov. Palin. Bob
The point I was trying to make is that after 4 years in the Senate (2 of which would necessarily have been on the campaign trail), Cruz will have had exactly zero years of executive experience. Neither, after such a short time, would he be intimately familiar with the workings of the federal government which a POTUS has to manage. I have previously made similar arguments when Rubio was the flavor of the week.
Deficits in both those areas would make Cruz, IMO, unqualified in ‘16. We’ve had quite enough of that. We need someone who knows the ropes and who has experience being the sole decision maker when difficult questions arise. What’s wrong with letting a potential presidential candidate ripen before thrusting him into a race for the highest office in the land (used to be world).
Few outside TX heard of Cruz two years ago, half of all Americans still don’t know who he is. Yet, you want to see him as the GOP candidate/POTUS in 3 years? I’d certainly consider him in ‘20 if he continues as he’s started, since NBC no longer counts, but no way would I think of him as ready for the job in ‘16.
I think that if this guy runs, he won’t be stopped. He is quick-thinking, uber-articulate, and solid through and through. Cruz is a guy who can look at an engine for the first time, take it apart and re-build it. He is the brightest light and best hope that I have seen to save America. And everyone knows how highly I regard Gov. Palin.
The way that he took apart his “good friend” Juan McCain on the Senate floor was classic.If McCain wa sn’t a dolt, he’d have resigned on the spot. It was like the kid in the Charlie Daniels song taking on the devil. A complete and devastating victory. Bob
I live about twenty miles from Fort Hood that is a storehouse for a lot of the big guns but it would be nice to have a source for parts...
