Georgia Republicans are beginning to line up behind Rick Perry's bid for president after flying to Austin to meet the Texas governor.
State Sen. Jeff Mullis, of Chickamauga, said he's backing Perry, praising his fiscally conservative credentials and his "regular guy" appeal.
Raymon White, a well-known Republican lobbyist in Georgia for clients such as the National Rifle Association, is also supporting Perry after meeting with him. White called Perry "battle tested" and "engaging."
Joel McElhannon, a Georgia political consultant, organized the Texas trip and says he plans to vote for Perry.

So Perry endorsed Gore [before he was green]. Are we to get excited about a guy he might be a young McCain? Right now I would take either of the women [I know Sarah is not a candidate].
Sounds like the ‘establishment’ candidate is wasting no time in being true to form.
The “anti-establishment” needs to develop some real presidential prospects, say, two-term governors. Franchise operators and congressmen don’t cut it in the bigs.
I have been singing that song for a long time and have encountered great hostility from the righteous.
We have to get, like, 60-70 million votes to take the White House. Where are we going to get them?
Big business y’all.
Bigtime. Corporate.
Here’s Perry, working out his campaign strategy with senior advisors...

The Guy that lives in the state of Georgia is Herman Cain. I would think that all the peach people would go for someone from their home state first. The article mentions a lobbyist and a political consultant are two of the people jumping on the Perry bandwagon. Seems to me that might not be a good endorsement.
Like him or not, he is a slick, establishment, career politician. What neighborhood does the author live in if this is a "regular guy"?
Like Obama said, “Don’t believe everything you here” - in the Atlanta Urinal Constipation.
Sarah ran WITH McCain. Epic fail notification.
Run Senator Nancyboy Kirk of Illinois to be POTUS. He will get 90% of the perv vote and still try to govern like the Maine lefty twins who are now his colleagues. The babies will keep on being slaughtered. Guns will still be grabbed. Marriage (the legitimate kind) will still be trashed. He also, as a "fiscal conservative," voted to increase Obama's election year allowance of taxpayer money, including yours. See Obama with all that cash, riding through the sky with his aeronautic sleigh powered by eight tiny reindeer, laying $2.4 trillion on the welfare class (out of Obama's stash!) and on the gummint employee unions.
Told ya so.
If you have really been singing Huck's song as to getting a two-term governor who can be elected, we have one: Rick Perry. He is not perfect but he despises perversion, believes in God publicly, hates abortion, loves guns and is not just a mindless chanter of money mantras. Good enough for me (as are Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann) and I cannot imagine "the righteous" giving you a hard time for supporting Perry.
BTW, in this republic of ours, we need 276 ELECTORAL votes to take the White House back. Just one more popular vote in a state than the opposition and we get the EVs. If there were a deadlock, the GOP House gets to cast the EVs state delegation by state delegation. All this is right there in the Constitution.
The Righteous
Love the pics! I’m going to learn how to do that. LOL!
Thank you, the more the merrier! Many years ago when I started, there were not as many graphics being posted!
Nancyboy was preferable to another Obamatronic Commie Crook such as The Greek. And still is.
Perry is just another RINO to many around here, as is almost anyone capable of getting over 20% of the vote. I am shocked to see you making sense about him but predict it won’t be long before he is thrown under the bus when he says something you don’t like.
In order to get those EVs you so kindly informed me of, we will have to get 60-70 million votes from the electorate. Good thing I happen to know about the Elections of 1800 and 1824 so your revelation was not too much of a shock.
I'm surprised YOU like Perry since, unlike Nancyboy, he is unlikely to favor abortion or gay "marriage" or the Boehner/McConnell/Nancyboy sellout giving Comrade O his $2.4 trillion election year allowance. How would Giannoulias have voted differently from "Mr. Fiscal Conservative" on Comrade O's election year allowance??? That's right! Same vote. OTOH, the Demonrats would have been responsible for the vote which is infinitely better than polluting further the GOP caucus with Nancyboy who combines the worst of Margaret Sanger, the annual Chicago pervert parade always worshipfully attended by Nancyboy and Judy Baah Baah Toopinka with the economic genius of that debt-limit ignoring worldbeater Comrade O and also the gungrabbing proclivities but unfortunately not the aggressive heterosexuality of Billy Jeff Clinton.
For Nancyboy, under the bus is too good for him.
The really instructive election was 1876 when the election went to the House and produced one of our very finest presidents and ended Reconstruction and other early forms of radical lunacy as well. 1824 was tragic but did did lead to the glories that were 1828 and 1832 in which EVs certainly did the right thing.
In any event, after Obozo is disposed of, the social revolutionary elitists and gutless wonders who have accumulated in the Senate GOP caucus need to be primaried and destroyed and replaced with conservatives, starting with Methuselah Lugar, John Cornyn (don't be fooled by his voting record and Texas owes more, much more, to America), that Hutchison creature of TX (who is retiring in any eventand hopefully to be replaced by Ted Cruz), LAMAR!!!!, Corker, McLame, Moocowski (a great target for Sarah Palin to exterminate if she does not run for POTUS since she personally eliminated Moocowksi's utterly corrupt daddykins), and a lot of other "GOP" elitocrat whores who think their job is to bail out banks in one last orgy of spending at the public expense rather than saving babies, marriage, guns, ordinary taxpayers and other folks and things that made America great. There are plenty of lush and overripe Demonratic targets as well: Comrades Harkin, Durbin, Klobuchar, Franken, Murray, Cantwell, Boxer, Feinswine, Sherrod Brown, etc., etc., etc.
Perry's problems are the North American Superhighway, Merck Pharmaceutical and Gardasil, and very little else currently relevant, but who is perfect? Being Texas Governor is not necessarily an ethical recommendation but he looks OK so far. Dubya was too personally wealthy to be affected by that corruption. I would a lot sooner have Perry decide important issues (guns, babies, marriage, national debt, foreign and military policy) than leave those to the Demonrats, phony "fiscal conservatives" who slop at the public trough, and RINOs generally.
Haven't seen your political resume yet, either. Undoubtedly, because you do not have one other than RINO keyboard warrior.
Perry's not the most conservative in the lot, but he's far more conservative than McCain.
Or Romney.
The Dems have run out of steam.
Sputter....
Sputter....
Perry is just warming up.
