The good news is that your average republican voter is a better judge of character and credentials than 50% of the people on FR. This is why I believe Perry will bulldoze the competition to the bar ditches.

Basically:

Government — GET OUT OF THE WAY!

Lower taxes.

Make FAIR and PREDICTABLE regulations and taxes.

Don’t over-SUE.

I’m sure there are going to be details but the idea is to make the climate inviting for business — where a person feels, if they invest their money, they will get a fair return.

“...Perry will bulldoze the competition to the bar ditches.”

We have to keep our eyes on the prize(s) The White House, The House and the Senate. Let’s not get mired in petty jealousies. Perry has hit the ground running and isn’t going to stop until he gets to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. President Perry has a really nice ring to it!

Maybe Gov. Perry is "just right."

He might be for me but for his horrid immigration policy, which has much the same consequences as the liberals', even if he approaches it with a different rationale. Perpetuating the Third World invasion of America is the wrong answer, and it makes little difference if that wrong answer comes from Democrats or Republicans.

Why don’t you stop parroting misinformation and give me some facts that support your post.

Exactly, simple and concise. If anyone is paying any attention at all to what Perry says they would already have heard this.

“Cain just placed 3rd right behind Romney in Zogby...so, his campaign is gaining traction”

As Bachmann flames out, Cain becomes the Tea Party candidate of choice, or at least an alternative to the #1 candidate, Perry.

Firing from "all sides" is just about right.

A hundred different posters have given you the facts on Perry's horrible immigration record. You just keep on pretending they haven't. It's like addressing a cult member.

No you'll give me spin and apologetics. Like you have with the very straightforward fact that Perry supports in-state tuition at public universities in Texas for illegal aliens.

Then you'll go on giving five hundred reasons why that's OK.

See #18, see his website, etc.

If you want the 80page detailed plan, Romney’s got it.

Perry has a simpler message - get the Government off our backs -, which will get fleshed out in time.

They call him a racist -- Rick Perry's Confederate past [Salon "exclusive" that gets it wrong]

THEN Hispanics "don't like" Perry.

Rick Perry's Jose Cuervo joke at Latino convention bombs in Texas, as governor mulls 2012 GOP bid

The FACT OF THE MATTER is LIBERALS don't like Perry, whatever their stripe.

AND MORE:

Jul. 02, 2011:"...But his embrace of the voter ID and sanctuary city bills has threatened a backlash among Hispanics, who accounted for 56 percent of the nation's population growth over the past decade.

Perry's push for the sonogram bill has fortified his long-standing ties to family values and pro-life groups but it has also made him a target from other circles.

"We would aggressively work to defeat him [Perry], of course," said Terry O'Neill, president of the National Organization for Women, which describes itself as non-partisan but typically backs Democrats. Star Telegram

I prefer Cain myself, but I’m thinking he ain’t ever going break past 10-15% at best. Perry is my second best candidate.

As for Palin, she’s done none of the necessary legwork to set up a campaign, so I have written her off.
