Rick Perry/Nikki Haley '12 ......"Perry first nationally challenged federal bailouts in December 2008. He and then-governor of South Carolina Mark Sanford challenged other governors to join them in opposition. It was a revolutionary moment and became prelude to the Tea Party. They wrote then in The Wall Street Journal: "As governors and citizens, we've grown increasingly concerned over the past weeks as Washington has thrown bailout after bailout at the national economy with little to show for it ... In the process, the federal government is not only burying future generations under mountains of debt. It is also taking our country in a very dangerous direction — toward a ‘bailout mentality’ where we look to government rather than ourselves for solutions.".....

I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, but neither Perry or Michelle Bachmann have any chance of becoming president. I just want to get everyone up to speed on that.

Rick Perry is a statist, the last thing on God’s earth the GOP needs. Might as well be named King George Bush III.

We need more than low taxes. We need people to be able to use the income they keep to invest in creating jobs, building houses. etc. But if regulation stifles such real investment, all that all that money will do is create investment bubbles. Rick Perry just looooooooves regulations... except the ones which get rid of illegal aliens.

Really?

In Montana they wish they had Perry's hard stand against regulation and environmentalists and lawyers: Legal gamesmanship threatens our energy future “Texas Gov. Rick Perry is able to boast about job growth under his watch, noting that over 265,000 jobs, or nearly 37 percent of the jobs created nationwide since the summer of 2009, have been created in the Lone Star state.

He credits this growth to a few simple conditions: low taxes, a regulatory climate that is fair and predictable, and a legal system that limits frivolous lawsuits. According to the Wall Street Journal, nearly one-fourth of the 70 companies that left California this year relocated to Texas.

When new or relocating companies and investors survey the landscape and consider Montana, what do they see? Well, when it comes to natural-resource development, the landscape looks risky.

Recent headlines highlight two major resource development projects slogging through endless legal and regulatory challenges. Investment flees this kind of uncertainty, so Montanans interested in the future economic stability of this state should be wary of the signals we send…” --- [relates short history of 2 outrageous examples]

-- “The common experience for Tongue River Railroad and Tonbridge Power is this: Even if you play by the rules, even if you follow the letter of the law, even if you engage with the public during a planning process, even if you get formal approval from the regulatory authorities, you are certain to face organized opposition whose sole intent is to frustrate project development to the point of financial starvation….”

He has been in Texas politics since 1984 serving in the legislature, as Agriculture Commissioner and as Leutenant {sic} Governor.

Seems as if the guy who churns out this blog would be able to spell.

Bachmann is the only one currently running I could vote for. But if Perry jumps in, then no doubt I will vote for him.

I think his dealings with the Obama admin should provide some kryptonite to use against him. For Perry the video of Obama rejecting Perry’s request for help on the border should play well in the south and border states.
Obama’s refusal to provide aid money for fires in Texas can be spun into a nice attack aid along with refusing Texas as a final resting place for one of the remaining shuttles.

Yeah, I would love Perry to run against Obama.

Perry is Rove's and Romney's Trojan Horse.

He is characterized by bad judgment and popularity below Krauthammer.

Everyone has skeletons:

Mitt Romney signed RomneyCare.

Rick Perry endorsed Al Gore and Rudy Giuliani.

Sarah Palin endorsed John McCain and Rick Perry.
