...and he's from TEXAS, talks a big game, and just ‘loves’ his neighbors next door from MEHICO.

Perry compares them to "Gaza".

August 2009 — “Gov. Rick Perry compared Mexico to the Gaza strip, saying Texas can learn from Israeli security efforts after touring a town that has been hit by Palestinian rockets.

Perry, who has demanded a heightened U.S. troop presence along the Rio Grande, went to Israel’s border with Gaza earlier with week and was briefed by Israeli Army officials.

“Kassam rockets have killed 28 Israelis over the last eight years. Well, 1,000 people have been killed in Juarez since the beginning of the year,” the governor told the Jerusalem Post in Friday’s editions, referring to the drug-related killings across the border from El Paso. “So we’re trying to find ways to secure that border, because just like it’s important to Israelis to keep heavy security on their border with Gaza, it’s important to citizens of Texas to keep out the illegal activities that are going on with drugs.”

Two questions....Why hasn't Perry announced yet? Is he waiting for something?

Like all the other RINOs, he's waiting for the cash to start rolling in, and it isn't doing so.

From the Poll Results:

Anderson Robbins Research (D) / Shaw & Company Research (R)

Interviews Conducted: N= 912 registered voters (707 landline, 205 cell phone) June 26-28, 2011

For Release 6PM ET Wednesday, June 29, 2011 Methodology

The Fox News Poll is conducted under the joint direction of Anderson Robbins Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R). The poll is based on live telephone interviews with a national sample of 912 registered voters, and was conducted June 26-28, 2011 in the evenings. Landline and cell phone telephone numbers were randomly selected for inclusion in the survey using a probability proportionate to size method, which means that phone numbers for each state are proportional to the number of voters in each state.

Results based on the full sample have a margin of error of ± 3%. Results among subgroups have larger sampling errors, including:
Democrats (n = 375) ± 5%
Republicans (n = 336) ± 5.5%
Independents (n = 176) ± 7.5%
GOP Primary Voters (n = 324) ± 5.5%
LV = likely voters

They may have changed polling firms completely or just used this composite group for this poll I don’t know. I never was impressed with polls done where two firms, a D & R, were used as a group to secure the data.

There are no third party successes in American history. None. The Republicans succeeded only because the Whigs literally vanished several years earlier. The unique structure of the American two-party system (single member district, winner take all), combined with the spoils system, spells death for any third party. Ask the Populists, ask the Progressives, ask the Liberty, ask the Know-Nothings, ask the Greens, ask the Reform, ask the Libertarians.

The only path to success is, and has always been, change the existing parties from inside.

Good Luck. Won’t happen because both Parties are controlled by a Supernational source. If you do not understand that you may continue to beat your head against the wall at will.

Well, as one who works “where the boots on the ground are,” i.e., at the county level of the party, I don’t see it. Quite the contrary, I’ve spoken at several Tea Parties in the last few months, and they all are lamenting that their numbers are significantly down. At the HQ, we don’t see an influx of people wanting to work for Palin. It’s usually the same people who have walked precincts for years and who will, quite honestly, campaign for whomever the nominee is. More important to me, I see no indication whatsoever of a Palin organization anywhere in Ohio. No one is contacting anyone, no one is lining up volunteers, nothing. So if her “boots on the ground” are expanding, I don’t see it in OH, which is a key state.

-"Perry compares them to "Gaza".

He talks out of both sides of his mouth too...

"We must say to every Texas child learning in a Texas classroom, “we don’t care where you come from, but where you are going, and we are going to do everything we can to help you get there.” And that vision must include the children of undocumented workers."

Who do you see with boots on the ground? Are you hearing much buzz about Perry?

In these pictures, Milt is looking at his
"Mr. Speaker", who was convicted by jury this month.

Perry has made it clear he would not consider the presidential race until after the Texas Legislative session ended...which happened yesterday.

And if Perry gets in and starts to tell his own story, in his own words, you're gonna have a tough time making that RINO label stick to him.

The primary season hasn’t really begun, so I’m not going to bother with who’s where in the polls.

The TTC scam, all by itself, is a bigger albatross for Perry than the ObamneyCare is for Romney.

If Romney were to somehow grab the GOP nomination, it would be a disaster worse than McCain. Romneycare is a huge politcal rock around his neck that he can never remove. He has already been branded a hypocrit by Conservatives who point to the growing failures of RomneyCare. For opposing ObamaCare, he has been branded a hypocrit by liberals who point to RomneyCare as the model for ObamaCare.

There is no way Romney is ever going to overcome this. He will never convince independent voters of his sincerity on health care issues.

“There is no way Romney is ever going to overcome this. He will never convince independent voters of his sincerity on health care issues.”

Or of his sincerity on any other subject. The chattering class seems determined to ignore the fact that Romney is positioning himself as a totally different candidate from the one who was running for President just a bit more than three years ago. Then he was a born again conservative, the second coming of Ronald Reagan. Now he's Mr. Individual Mandate and Antropogenic Global Warming. He's targeting a different slice of the electorate with an act that's not only different, it's inconsistent. I get whiplash just writing about the guy.

Some conservative intellectuals fell for Romney's schtick last time. Nobody will now. He's utterly cynical and there just aren't enough cynics voting in the primaries to put him over the top.

Unless Romney continues to run unopposed, he will be beaten, badly.

Just curious: does anybody on this board know anybody who actually supports Romney? I don’t; in fact, what I usually see people do when his name is mentioned is roll their eyes and shake their heads. So how come he’s always referred to as “the frontrunner”?

On the contrary, Obama is toast.
Lots of time for the nomination to shake out.
