Sunlit Uplands readers know that we bow to no one in our utter contempt for the Marxist who is deliberately dividing and undermining this country from the Oval Office in the White House. Yet we are also the first to acknowledge that no one bears more responsibility for the election of Barack Hussein Obama than George W. Bush. We were, therefore, sorry to read this morning that his close friend and political protege, Texas Governor Rick Perry, has added South Carolina to his summer travel plans his first trip to an early presidential primary nominating state.
South Carolinians have been tricked before by conservative rhetoric that masks big government, big spending, liberal policies and hordes of Rockefeller, Giuliani, Romney-style appointees to impose them. Indeed, George W. Bush never met a problem that $20 billion couldn't solve. South Carolinians believe that problems are best solved locally, by caring individuals, churches, and civic organizations, where true charity is the reflex of prayer. Many here give 10% of their income to support their church and its social outreach. Could there be another state with more churches per capita than South Carolina?
Governor Perry talks about the private sector doing the job government does so poorly. Indeed, he has learned that in the new media, bombast and tough talk in a viral video can cover a thousand sins. But when the talk ends, where does the governor put his money? Not in his church. ABC News reports...

I take it you didn’t know the facts about the Romney/DeMint connection, you seem shocked, or stunned.
Other than that I couldn’t make any other sense out of your post.
Wow. CLASSIC case of projection.
Sad how many otherwise good conservatives forfeit self-respect just because they don't like Palin. You betray and denigrate your own self-respect when you characterize what Palin did in leaving the Alaska governorship, as "being a quitter." You know it, I know it, and every informed reader knows it.
Man, you are really emotionally vested in something in order to act so desperately to knock Palin. I wonder what it is? I wonder if you even know what it is?
Ignoring 2006, and 2007, and pretending that DeMint came to support Romney late, is not honest is it?
Merely endorsing isn’t exactly what the Senior advisor on Romney’s Exploratory committee as he signed on to in 2006, and the Romney Campaign Chairmen was doing is it?
How old are you? Just asking.
Hey, Palin quit her bus tour. ;-)
Is he behind Romney now that everyone knows that Romney is no conservative? If you remember back in the ‘08 campaign, Romney was supposedly the conservative in the race and it was only his Mormonism that was stopping him from sweeping the nomination.
Sadly true. Us Texans should have sore noses from holding it to vote for Governor Goodhair. I hope we don’t have to hold it to vote in the presidential election. Again.
I'm in my second childhood and find it interesting just how many pictures of the performer(s) Perry there are on the web. I don't find Perry to have much talent. The race is on.
Actually he said he would run for VP, if Beck ran for POTUS.
Maybe you should reconsider your position, if the one you hold is uncomfortable.
What is your point?
Actually...we’re both right. Unfortunately Beck could not be elected nor secure the nomination. He’s mormon.
Oh ye of short memory.
This isn’t the first time you have tried to convince me of the DeMint/Romney connection - check your old posts.
You think that in 2006 DeMint had to go get the anti-gun, pro-abortion, to the left of Ted Kennedy on homosexuality, appointing 75% non-republican judges, health care, anti-Reagan and Jesse Helms, anti-Contract with America, Planned Parenthood fundraiser, Mitt Romney to run for president because he was known as a conservative?
You think that DeMint became senior advisor to his exploratory committee, and co chair of his Presidential campaign because Mitt Romney “was supposedly the conservative in the race” in 2006 and 2007, years before the election, when Mitt was still a sitting incompetent Governor that soon left office with 34% approval, and lost the seat to the Democrats?
Romney was seen as the ANTI-CONSERVATIVE, he had literally left the GOP party because of President Reagan, and for years devoted himself only to the Democrat Party and their causes, and even Democrat fund raising.
Romney and he are still close,”WashingtonPost.com Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) will appear as the special guest at a fundraiser next week to benefit South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMints 2010 re-election”
I wouldn’t worry about DeMint if I was convinced that he was not Romney’s path to the White House.
Yet even then the way TARP was sold and the way it was deployed were two different things.
Plus, at that time you had the global financial industry in chaos so anything, and I mean anything, that would have offered calm would have been done.
Looking back now it was an awful scheme, but at that moment it was the only thing the entire world was looking for.
I missed Cain, but my focus was on Palin and Bachmann because they are near flawless individuals on this site. Prayers up!
So what, I don’t know who you are, and I don’t care.
More fodder for my thesis that all politicians will disappoint, sooner or later.
Representation is nice in theory, but if you really want things done your way, you have to do them yourself.
