Zero would have us lighting our farts to keep warm in the dark after the EPA blacked us out.

Myself, I see only one obvious, actual “choice” among the R candidates.

If I absolutely had to guess at one lesser of evils among the remainder of the R herd, I would have to admit to RP (Perry) as a possibility...maybe.

Semper Watching!

Funny how that dumbass manages to run the 13th largest economy in the world, manage international treaties and run for the presidency at the same time.

Poor Herman couldn’t bake a pie and run a campaign.
Bachmann is toast
Santorum doesnt have it,
Huntsman is Romney lite,

Then there’s Newt and Paul Pot

whoo boy!

I can’t tell you how many times I have been flamed on here by people saying if I support Perry I don’t know what I am talking about as they are Texans and they know he is not good for America blah blah blah.

Thanks for the positive post from a Texan.

Yes, he did back off. It makes me a bit nervous that someone was able to get him interested in these wacko ideas................

Maybe he learned something from the experience.

Man, the neighborhood is sending up some fireworks! This is the first time in a year and a half we could, with the drought!

How’s the works over in Lakeway?

I am in Texas too and I like Perry, everyone I know likes Perry. You signed up to tell us you don’t like him, we heard you now go away.

I’d say that Perry had a whole lot more to do with Texas staying that way for the last 10 years than Newt did.

BTW, where HAS Newt been for the last ten years?

I shiver to think what the Obamaites will do with that question should Newt be the nominee. Mind you, if Newt gets it, I would vote for him without question; I just don’t think he is our best choice. I think Perry is by far the best candidate to take the fight to Obama and WIN.

Over the course of the years, I have seen that much of the stuff Perry gets beat up for is stuff the he is forced to deal with.

NAFTA etc

He has always stayed on the side of the people.

He nixed the TTC due to public outcry and now Mexican truckers have free reign of all our roads due to NAFTA.

Po ol Perry got a bad rap, he tried to meet the letter of the law by making a TTC corridor.

I disagreed with a lot of it, Particularly jobs going to Cintra rather than Texans.

But now we have something worse.

I wish that Perry would make a comeback - but he won’t. He went in without an organization, without a plan and he was woefully unprepared. It’s our loss. But his fault.

I supported Sarah Palin and when she bailed I was wailin'

Then I went to Herman Cain

Yes, I could be very merry

and would support Rick Perry

If I only had a brain.

If a guy who was interested in some pretty wacky ideas makes you nervous, how do feel about the brain trust guy who actually thinks them up and commits them to paper in a dozen books?
