Since his first race for office more than a quarter century ago, Gov. Rick Perry has emphasized his roots as a rural farmer.

Yet Perry's bank account no longer reflects those humble beginnings as his bottom line has soared in recent years, records show, thanks largely to a handful of real estate deals that critics allege were achieved through the presidential candidates's political connections.

Here’s the bottom line: he’s better than Romney, who is his only real current competition.

You implied that she endorsed him for President, which is a lie.

Lying by omission.

You and CFR-Ric would get along great.

“She didn’t use her public office to get it though, since she holds no public office.”

Stop it. No one would have ever heard of her otherwise. We both know it, and we are all doing it. Let’s STFU about any legitimate contender or entertain another four years of Zero, and we ignore RR at our peril.

Seriously.

That makes what difference, governments do not create jobs, they have no money until they take it under threat of a gun.

Actually, the record is the woman was as poor as a church mouse, before she left the governors office.

Why did rick Perry lie when he pledged he would not run for higher office, maybe Palin made the misstate of believing him.

I agree with you. I like Perry, but I don’t want politicians I support making money from inside knowledge. I don’t care who does it. It’s unethical. I’d LOVE to see the MSM take Obama to task over his home. I believe we have a right to expect politicians to keep their nose to the grind for which they were elected.

Josh is a member here. Why not ping him?

Palin endorsed Perry for reelection over KayBaileyH. and Debra Medina. DUH.

Why would she endorse him if she thought he was dirty?

But it’s hard work being a hater, especially when you won’t admit you’re a Paul-tard.

Why are you changing the subject? What is *your* concern? They were both governors. She knew him on that basis. Do you think she had time or the inclination to research him? Get real.
