The man Rick Perry appointed Texas Chief Justice Wallace Jefferson -- a good example of the caliber and character of leaders Gov. Perry surrounds himself with – unlike Obama who appoints and defends appointments such as U.S. Attorney General Erick Holder.
Puff piece overload !
Perry does a nice job of fielding these tough questions.
This is a puff piece. Where are the hard questions about the Governor’s positions on the issues? Does he think he’s electable? What about his wife? Was he picked on in the debates? Blah. Blah. Blah.
How about asking him to explain what many conservatives consider his exceptionally weak attitude toward illegal immigration? Ask him if he’s a compassionate conservative in the Bush mold, and then ask him to explain why or why not. Let’s hear the man’s ideas, so we can properly vet him!
Really? I'm expecting him to tank. Again.
All hat.
Conservative cattle, not so much.
Don't Mess With Rick Perry!
“No, ma’am. Not unless you call caffeine a drug. Or cold beer or whiskey.”....
This is a well brought up farm boy sticking with the values he was raised with.
"Gig 'em!"
As the lower tier candidates drop out, I expect conservatives to rally around Cain, since romney is forever disqualified by his nazi healthcare law.
I’m looking forward to the debate tonight. I hope Perry is prepared.
You know, Cain will be front and center next to Romney because he’s second in the polls. Romney knows Cain is a threat. The media now recognizes Cain as a contender. Some of the more rabid Cain supporters are about to get a taste of their own medicine.
Why is Bloomberg and the Washington Post sponsering the REPUBLICAN debates.
Are Republicans stupid?
Why would they participate in their enemy’s territories.
This is insane!
I can also identify with the comment about small town doc's families. Patients love to inspect my grocery cart and to note what I'm eating - and drinking - in restaurants.
I love these answers from the Governor:
Some of our recent presidents have admitted to experimenting with drugs. What about you?Caffeine, first!“No, ma’am. Not unless you call caffeine a drug. Or cold beer or whiskey.”
Governor, how would you make the White House more like Texas?
We’d have Blue Bell ice cream and Hill Country barbecue.
I'd go for East Texas barbecue, but the rest is okay, even with this Baptist girl.
Since the 50's our presidential candidates have been asked the question, and I paraphrase, " if nuclear attack was imminent, would you press "The" button?" I would like that question asked again of those who would be president.

His answer about crony capitalism is extremely troubling. Yes that IS the real issue. That’s a huge problem hindering this country. And the fact that he doesn’t want to address it, saying “That’s the same old, tired criticism which comes when people don’t want to talk about the real issues...” is a deal breaker for me. There should be NO corporate welfare, NO pay for play, no favoritism. I’m really disappointed with this answer.
