Gov. Rick Perry will win the GOP nomination for the presidency.
Here's why. Mitt Romney is a certified RINO, a ruling class Republican of the type that spawned the Tea Party. There would be no Tea Party were it not for big government, country club Republicans like Mitt Romney.
Herman Cain does not have the money or organization to go the distance, Newt Gingrich is too flawed personally, Michelle Bachmann is out of gas, and Ron Paul is and will always be a fringe candidate. Rick Santorum has yet to gain any real traction and that is unlikely to change.
Rick Perry, on the other hand, has the organization, experience, resources and, most of all, the values to go the distance.

Lots of unknowns about the 999 plan as to how it will impact the individual. I’d like to see the list of what isn’t going to be taxed at the Federal Level and who isn’t going to pay that tax. In other words what and who will be exempt from the federal tax.
State and local taxes will at least remain the same or as you say maybe increase if possible.
But the most important part of the plan is how does Cain intend to get it implemented? He can’t do it by the wave of his pen so he must get the Congress to act. That isn’t the easiest thing in the world to do.
What do you mean? 9%=.9 + 9%=.9 =18%=.18
18% of $10,000 is $1,800 hence $10,000+$1,800=$11,800
Did you mean math fail for you?
Amd do they think Federal surcharges wiil go away? And what happens to subsidies?
Perry screwed the pooch with his comments re: illegals. That was a deal killer for a lot of people.
Cain shows promise, but, as was pointed out, he has no campaign organization established, and nil in any campaign treasury.
Newt is flawed, to be sure, but he is unquestionably the most qualified of the lot, though m,ost qualified does not often equate with most electable.
Santorum is good, but, also as pointed out, just has no traction. I don’t know why, unless he has the most incompetent campaign staff in years.
If it comes down to it, I can live with Perry, especially if he appoints John Bolton SOS and Sarah Sec’y of Energy. And, yes, I’d like to see Newt play a major role in a Perry Administration (or in anyone’s administration). Perry would be my fourth choice, though, behind Cain, Newt, and Santorum.
I don’t like Romney at all.
Your logic is sound, I’m just nitpicking.
10,000 x .18 = 1,800
10,000 + (10,000 x .18) = 11,800
I have heard Perry called a fake Christian by supposed Christians. Now you are here to insinuate not only is Perry gay, but he loves porn.
By the way The Movie Gallery was one of the largest VHS movie rental chains in the south and some had an adult section. This was before Blockbuster took over the scene when many VHS rental stores were small family owned operations. But you knew that.
I thank the Lord Jesus Christ he sends people like you to encourage me in Perry's inevitable victory. While Perry and his people talk policy, his opponents go into the gutter.
It's more of a positive 1st step plan to tap into energy as a first part economic jolt to the system. CSpan.org has the video. Watch it and you will not regret it.
9-9-9 is a HUGE improvement over what we got now with regard to the federal tax situation. It's not how I would like to see it fixed but at least someone has stuck his neck out regarding fixing the problem.
I like, btw, what both Cain and Perry feel about the EPA. I like what they both think about social issues. I like what they think about energy.
These two are both so much better than what we were stuck with in 2008 my head spins.
A Freeper shouldn't rip either regardless of who he wants.
If somebody says something stupid in a debate or TV interview -- and that would be Herman -- just let it go.
Just say no to Romney.
Do it all while talking foreign policy, environment and job creation and make it stick.
And the chances of that happening are "slim" and "none". There will be carve outs for the "poor" I understand that has already been stated on his website. What will they do, give people a card to say they are "poor" to present when they are shopping so they don't get charged tax? They do away with the tax code, so who determines what is a direct cost and what is an overhead cost for determining the taxable base?
If the 9% is added to a new home but not a used home, who would ever build a new house? The same for cars. Who would be willing to buy a new car and pay an additional 9% when you can buy a used car and save that tax?

Yep. Here come the exceptions and the freebies.
Romney is known and boring; Cain is new and unknown.
Perry would be trounced in a debate by Obama. He can’t even hold his own with GOP candidates. I listened to the last debate on radio and Perry sounded pathetic and full of nothing but platitudes, whereas all the other candidates offered specifics. He will lose big time to Skippy if nominated. Folks, we are in a bad situation now. I like Cain but I’m not sure he can win.
As you say the preacher from Antioch Baptist Church North - Atlanta isn't a known just yet. If he maintains his rise in the polls expect the powers that be to apply a proctoscope and then we may know a little of his history, associates, dealings, beliefs, etc. Until then we are pretty much clueless.
*That is just federal taxes, do you think the state taxes are just going to go away?*
You add that state taxes to all of that NOW!
Why are ‘conservatives’ just peachy with TONS of taxes that they can’t see, but as soon as they’re visible, they have a fit - EVEN WHEN THE VISIBLE TAX IS LOWER.
I have a problem with that line of thinking.
At every stage of our country's Socialist development, the percentage of "poor" has always increased. The "War on Poverty" was supposed to alleviate poverty. It has not, and there are now more "poor" people than ever before.
Besides, it is high time for the "poor" to start paying their "fair share" of taxes. Yes, I say we need to raise taxes on the "poor", and I am serious!
No more means testing, no more "carveouts", no more freebies, and no more BS!
So would I.
