ping-this should be fun!
Although I think Perry is about as good a candidate as we have, Land is an uber-weasel and part of the problem at the SBC.
I hope it’s true.
We don’t need any more Bushes, thank you very much.
I suppose by now it's a lost cause.
wow... seriously it’s like reading an article I wrote about Perry vs Bush a few weeks ago here......
This is all fine and good about the personal life and personal characteristics of Mr. Perry.
It provides no informed view of Perry’s own operating principles of government, our governments, no informed view of Perry policies or decisions as governor, and no informed view of potential Perry policies as POTUS.
It’s a nice puff piece but not much else.
Absolutely great article. He tells it like it is about Perry...helps non Texans to better understand Perry.
I’m not for or against Perry at this time. However, the climate has changed since George Bush, compliments of the Tea Party, and Perry will have real conservatives in his corner, whereas Bush was bogged down with RINOS.
“Perry also has a well-deserved reputation in Texas as being a less-forgiving political opponent than Bush. If you cross Perry, he will get even.”
The more I learn about Perry, the MORE I like him!
He’s great. He’s AMERICA!!!!!!
Perry in 2012!!!!!
I am not a George Bush fan, but one thing I will give him is that he is not corrupt, Perry, on the other hand ....
Great! Now. What was it he said? Oh yeah...”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.’” he said. “And that vision must include the children of undocumented workers.
???
Elect Rick Perry as your President because he’s not a fake Texan like George W. Bush??
You know what they said about W? Time and again they intoned, “W is NOTHING like his father..!! He’s a REAL conservative..!”
They said it a million times.
Here? They say, “Perry would be NOTHING like Dubya..!”
Yeah, sure.
Sorry, I just can’t risk it. It all sounds like a repeat.
NOPE.
Pure Class Warfare BS....this kind of tripe makes you happy?
I know this because I'm married to one of those ignorant voters (although I keep working on her).
Excellent, excellent article.
Yes, Perry will get even if crossed, as the column says.
Another character trait: if he’s wrong (and he often is), he will not back down.
” Perry is more conservative than Bush. He would be the most conservative president since Calvin Coolidge both fiscally and in foreign policy.”
That’s a load of crap. The author is fooling nobody.
Let’s cut to the chase. The nominee will either be Perry, Romney or Palin (if she gets in).
On straight conservative policy issues, I rate Palin first, Perry a close second, Romney well back in third.
Please answer this question:
IF Palin gets in the race, will she split the conservatives and give the nomination to Romney? (I think so.)
I’m going with Perry despite my large disagreement with him over illegal immigration. In my sane moments I understand that the illegal immigration argument was lost years ago. Sarah can only play spoiler at this point.
Romney is not what we need. Perry is much closer to what we need. Sarah is slighter preferable to Perry on policy, but lacks his executive experience and has problematic unfavorable ratings, even within the Republican party.
Logic says Perry for the win.

OK, THAT was fun to read. 8-D
