[Cincinatus' Wife]

Two newly published articles on Rick Perry:

When Perry turned Republican, he left some helpful Democrats behind ..."Democrats had ruled the state Agriculture Department for a hundred years. Perry immediately ejected Hightower loyalists and Democratic operatives from the agency. He pledged to cut the department’s staff by 20 percent and scale down the number of regional offices around the state."...

Rick Perry’s long faith journey culminates in presidential run ...."For the Texas-based pastors and activists in attendance, that was hardly news. But to scores of others who were just getting to know Perry, it was reassuring information.

“As governor, people are not asking you, ‘Tell me when you came to the Lord,’” says Shackelford, who has known Perry for more than a decade. “The people you hang out with every day already know.

“But now he’s running for president,” Shackelford says, “and all of a sudden there are these Christian leaders meeting him for the first time, and they want to know: How did you come to know the Lord? What was your journey?” [end]

" ...we are unveiling its crowning jewel.  I am proud to announce that the state of Texas is investing $20 million from the Texas Enterprise Fund to help Countrywide Financial"

"You can consider the Countrywide expansion to be “Exhibit A” as to why we need to continue to invest state dollars in the Texas Enterprise Fund.

Mozilo's Countrywide had been the first to embrace the homeownership push back in 1995 and had therefore become

a central player in Clinton's public-private partnership.

 

And since 1998, Countrywide had also become crucial to the fortunes of Fannie Mae, and the personal wealth of Fannie employees who received special mortgage deals from the lender...

I could also write a headline for the Democrats.

“Democrats decide to go with a sure loser”

The Democrats have no candidates at all, only a man who holds the record for the worst Presidency this country has ever had.

The “real battle” is coming. It may not be resolved until the Convention.

Wait, until the RINO’s see the number of “tea party leaning” deligates at the state and national Rep. Convention. Blind Globalist Bastards who pretend to support the US are no better than the Leftist scum who currently control the Presidency and the Senate.

The Traitors in both parties are going to get a swiff kick in the posterior, it is coming.
