This is just how Rick Perry is. After Hurricane Ike devastated my community, he came here to survey the damage. He did not just walk through here surrounded by security and news cameras and then make a speech. That's not Perry. He showed up in jeans and a work shirt, no cameras, no press conference, and he walked among all of us who had been hit. A hug, a pat on the shoulder, a listening ear, and an encouraging word. He saw to it that emergency shelters were being set up and food and water were available to everyone. When Obama/FEMA refused to help us, Governor Perry set up state funding to help us rebuild our homes and our lives. My home is at 'ground zero' where Ike came ashore. We all took tremendous damage. FEMA sent me a check two months later for $600 dollars. Governor Perry set up the Recovery Fund to help us all rebuild. That is what a true leader and a true Christian does. That's my Governor! I can't wait to see America under the caring wing of Rick Perry.

June 2011 Debate Newt Gingrich called Americans Heartless for wanting to deport 20 million illegals.

"GINGRICH: No, but let me say this, John. No serious citizen who's concerned about solving this problem should get trapped into a yes/no answer in which you're either for totally selling out protecting America or you're for totally kicking out 20 million people in a heartless way. There are -- there are humane, practical steps to solve this problem, if we can get the politicians and the news media to just deal with it honestly."

I can see why you’re proud of Gov. Perry. I live in Illinois, and well.. enough said.

I’ve always seen him a a good man, a good Governor, and a good Conservative. We could do far worse than having him as president, even though he isn’t my #1 choice. But it’s a job interview and the process can seem personal especially when folks are jabbing over the algore interweb rather than how we’d discuss the same thing over a cup of coffee or a beer.

If I had to say one thing that Perry could have done better at in his campaign, it’s the way he’s rolled out ideas as if they’re the “Idea of the Week”, or like he was making it up as he went along. A lot of this process is packaging and marketing, and we all know the best product sometimes gets beat by the one that has created the best perception.

Just a long way of saying many of us are thankful today and every day that we have leaders like Rick Perry, regardless of where they serve.

Let us all not forget how Texas did a superb job with all of the evacuees
from Katrina, the cost of all of this to Texas had to be astronomical.
I will also bet a whole lot of these folks did not return back to LA creating
another huge cost to Texas. I am still a Cain supporter but I would take
Perry in a heart beat!!!! I am personally sick to death of smooth debaters
I want to feel great about a persons character, heart and soul. Perry
would be a great leader, he is breaking out of his Texas comfort zone.
More than this Romney absolutely sucks and the MSN wants him which
Is more than enough for me to despise him.
