Gov. Rick Perry has lived and governed with conservatism and he has the will and the drive (in spades as we are witnessing) to keep working for conservative principles. And he understands the urgency of this election.
Rick Perry wouldn’t be a placeholder, a nibble around the edges — work with “my friends” in the “loyal opposition” president, at the expense of the country. He is the outsider. He isn’t K Street or Washington D.C. But Perry knows what they’ve done to our freedoms.
And he is the only candidate who has a record the Left will find difficult using against him (not that they won’t try but better than getting knocked out in the third round like the others). Thus the MSM (and sad to say conservatives) attempt to portray him as dumb (haven’t we seen this before?) drunk, racist, Islamofascist sympathizer or anti-Muslim bigot, spoiler, etc. etc. etc. They have to attack his character and ridicule him to marginalize him and his record. The record Obama and the Left don’t want to face in an election contest.
Texas is where 1000 people a day are moving to find work. And I really am annoyed that I have to clarify this for the reader, they’re coming from other U.S. states (where their governors aren’t working so hard to fight the Obama recession) and not from Mexico. But since that is the MSM “talking point,” I must.
Thank you hocndoc.
Yes, if he “reaches out,” much less “crosses over,” to the other side of the aisle, it’ll be in a leap over the brass rail. Just ask Senator Lucio.
I still say the Press just doesn’t want to spend weekends in Paint Creek.
