Is he far ahead of the other cosnervatives like Bachmann and Cain? I think so. So what’s the problem??
cosnervative?

Educate yourself. The Texas Dream Act was passed in Perry's first year as governor. It was not legislation that he introduced, and it passed by overwhelming majorities the the Texas Legislature TWICE. Now, Perry agrees with the Texas Dream Act, but he was not the author of it. You seem to be trying to imply that Perry supports the Dream Act in Congress, which is very different from the Texas Dream Act. He doesn't - he has voiced his opposition to amnesty and to the national Dream Act that has been proposed. So calling him "Mr. Dream Act" in that context is misleading at best, dishonest at worst.
Oh yes.....that script has been written for over a hundred years. The agenda since the French Revolution (reading Leftism: from de Sade and Marx, to Hitler to Pol Pot.)
There has always been an agenda with this perverted, powerful leftist movement with various names but same agenda.
Can I “hope” for someone like a Bonhoeffer to lead and to take a 180 turn before we hit rock bottom and lose all our freedom????
...or will they just end up dead, too?
Being a Christian...I do not put my hope in man completely, but every hundred years or so some brilliant mind/saint appears. I don’t suppose Perry is that guy though.

OK, THAT was fun to read. 8-D
Read “Family of Secrets, by Russ Baker” regarding the Bush family Dynasty. Very interesting! The only reason I voted for Bush was because of the alternatives, not because I liked him. He wore his religion on his sleeve, but did not honor his oath of office to protect America from enemies both foreign and domestic by ignoring the illegals rushing over our borders! This has been very damaging, and in part is responsible for where we find ourselves today. I doubt whether Perry would honor his oath of office either.
Sorry, that statement has already been disproven.
—This is all fine and good about the personal life and personal characteristics of Mr. Perry.—
Is that not the topic of the article?
—It provides no informed view of Perry’s own operating principles of government, —
That is the subject for another article.
I don't think she'd be much of a factor since her negatives are so high, but I could be wrong. At best she'd be another Bachmann, a shooting star. Perry is our best bet.
Class warfare? Hardly.
The problem is that it is far too early to be sold on any one candidate, though I have been leaning toward Bachmann, Santorum and Cain. I need to know much the bad part as well as the good part of any candidate before I make a decision. So Perry has star quality. I am not looking for star quality in a president. I am looking for who truly loves America, cherishes it’s sovereignty, and will do everything possible to turn this ship of state back into safe waters again.

cosnervative?
LOL! I don’t know about a large part of the Freepers, but that is certainly true of certain segment. :)
Interesting. It sounds like you don’t think she’s strong enough to hurt Perry against Romney. If you are right, she is irrelevant and the choice is Perry or Romney.
Easy pick there.
I like Sarah Palin too, but so far she isn’t running so we don’t know where she would shake out as a “cosnervative” candidate.
Please pardon my typographic error as you are obviously a perfect typist and far above me in the computer typing world.
How that for a new tagline?
The contrast could not be more stark. In one corner the whippet-thin, fastidious, ultra-urbane, somehow detached Siamese cat that is President Obama. Across from him the muscular, Marlboro man, Rottweiler that is Gov. Perry.

LOVE that description!
You certainly don’t have to be “sold” yet, it’s not voting time. None of the candidates you mention will be available when primary voting time comes, so you may want to start moving on soon.
I like Palin alot, but she has been very disappointing IMO. I think she has toyed with people too much, and I think she would experience early primary defeats.
I can’t see her getting organized in time for the Iowa caucus, or the New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries. If she can’t score an early victory in one of those, she’s done. That’s why I don’t see her being much of a factor.
Again though, I could be wrong, she marches to her own drummer and may have some unknown plan that will surprise us all.
You are very sweet, but I rally don’t need your advice.
Yeah, right! GHWB didn't have star quality. Neither did Bob Dole, Dubya or McCain and neither does the establishment choice in 2012, Myth Romney.
The fact that Perry has some star power to go along with a good conservative executive governing record, will help him secure votes. And I'd say Perry loves Texas and America too.
I agree with you, though I really like Palin. The fact that she left office in midstream, I think, would weigh heavily against her.
