Rick Perry will decide on a White House run in 30 days (Truncated title)
Daily Mail ^ | 9 MAY 2015 | David Martosko

FULL TITLE:

Rick Perry will decide on a White House run in 30 days, telling South Carolinians that 'it's not that difficult' to secure the US-Mexico border and the White House battle is really about the Supreme Court

* Insisted Barack Obama has failed because he had to learn executive leadership 'on the job'

* Said the next president could dictate the course of religious-freedom laws by choosing ideologically driven Supreme Court justices

*Spoke to a standing-room crowd of 150 at a BBQ joint near Greenville, SC

* Suggested he would devolve more control to state governments as president

Former Texas Governor Rick Perry isn't ready to launch his second presidential campaign, but a final decision will come within a month, he told a standing-room-only crowd crammed into Dickey’s Barbecue Pit near Greenville, S.C. 'I am a prospective candidate,' he said. 'I'm not going to announce that I'm running tonight. I'm going to make an announcement in the next 30 days.' In a freewheeling interview with a local radio host, Perry explained that the nation's recent fascination with social issues like gay marriage and religious freedom will ultimately be resolved in the U.S. Supreme Court.

That, he said, puts added emphasis on the 2016 presidential race.

There’s a pig named Giggles running for mayor of Flint Michigan. I don’t know which party he’s representing.

I agree that is happening, but I just sense there is some financial motive happening here. They do very little that’s just “for the team”.

WRONG!!!!

Rudy wasn’t conservative enough for countrywide, but he turned around crime, economy, and cleaned up porn industry (still have mixed feelings about that one :) jk) with no on the job experience.

Don’t get nervous or attack lol. I am FAR more conservative than he is, but you had to be here to see how he turned crime, Times Square and job opportunities around.

No ones opens a business when they think the area is worthless. Except liquor stores lol

Perry has his moments, but as others have pointed out, he has too many liberal tendencies.

And besides — we have — what — 40 Republicans running? Ok I'm exaggerating, but the field is already overcrowded. We don't need yet another RINO.

I haven’t heard a lot of good about this guy, but I also don’t know a whole lot about him. Any advice/facts?

I don’t know if you’re exaggerating lol. It’s getting close. And ridiculous.

Perry. Hucksterbee. Jeb. Christie. Carson. Jindal. Paul. Fiorina. Graham.

Some are good people, some are awful. All should withdraw I think. I could be wrong.

He worked hard to get my teenage daughters to take an STD immunization. Gardasil. That's what he tried to do.

He's a freaking liberal. I won't vote for him for anything.

Santorum is supposed to announce later this month. I've also heard Mike Pence (ugh). Don't know about Scott Walker.

Some who are in will bow out soon. I think Trump runs just for the publicity. I give him a few weeks and he will be gone.

I know I left some out that should stay out. Thanks for reminding me lol. Besides Walker. He’s good. My second after Cruz

What’s the 411 on Rubio on FR these days? Haven’t paid much attention to him.

"I haven’t heard a lot of good about this guy"

With good reason. He's a tin-plated phony from Jump Street. A Jimmuh Carter-Al Gore Democrat who switched parties at the urging of Karl Rove because he couldn't get elected statewide as a Democrat anymore.

Admittedly, I've been shutting out anything to do with Rubio, or at least trying to. He might try to flip flop or explain himself, but I trust him as far as I can throw him. Bottom line is he wants amnesty for illegals. The amnesty pimps do not get my vote.

That’s out.

Legal status is a HUGE gift. Cruz supports some form of it. But NEVER get to be citizen and NEVER vote.

But you get to live in the greatest country ever by breaking the law!!! And your kids probably get to vote one day!!!

ugh.

I don’t want ANY past candidates to run.

So you are against them building up a retirement fund? There ought to be a club for "people who haven't got a chance in hell of winning but are deadset on siphoning money and votes from those that do".
