So Rick Perry is FOR: RomneyCARE and ObamaCARE?

and is FOR Defending Obama from his time in Kenya?

But even by the prevailing standards of the contemporary Republican Party, McCarthy is truly off his rocker.

Not exactly how I would describe the former federal prosecutor who brought down the blind sheik for the 1993 WTC bombing.

Andrew McCarthy is my kind of guy. Righteously on the Right.

necessary in a world in which one of the two major parties holds to such beliefs as global warming is a hoax and tax cuts increase revenue

Which indicates the author is a certifiable lunatic who denies fundamental reality to mindlessly cling to his preconceived emotion based dogmas. This author has zero intellectual honesty or creditability.

Rick Perry's not crazy - he's a savvy opportunist. Anyone who would vote for this snake-oil peddling huckster in the GOP primary after being informed time and again about his real record...?

Let me read your fortune for you.

Listening to McCarthy is the best thing Perry could do. (Though Perry is still not my candidate.)

Funny, usually his jealous critics use the word "luck." Perry's been just so "lucky!"

Interesting that. Luck. JUST all that LUCK.

Where I come, you work hard and when you succeed, you've earned it.

But for others it's "luck" or "it fell in your lap" or "it miraculously appeared," or you're just an "overnight success," or according to you he's an "opportunist, a huckster."

Perry works hard and he will not lose to Obama.

Who are you backing for that job?

Perry in the end will not run. There is some truth in the gay rumors and things would come out if he really made a run for it.

Rick Perry is the one (potential) candidate the libs fear. He would mop the floor with Obama.

>>>We also know that numerous other reporters, from here to New York, have looked into the rumors, with, as far as we know, an identical lack of results. Nor do we expect anything we say here to have any effect on the rumors, which have become entirely self-replicating as they echo through the blogosphere.<<< Source

McCarthy is one of the gutsiest truth-tellers on the scene. It’s encouraging that Perry is consulting him.
