These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.
He gave us CHOICE!!!
It seems to me that the pro-Perry people are pushing hard and declaring the race finished in an effort to convince Sarah not to come in. Perhaps the Perry people worry about that matchup.
Well said
There is one variable we should never forget when making predictions - that of voter fraud. And, the Democrats do that better than any element of any society in the world.
How about you give out translation cards from Spanish to English so Latin Americans who wish to learn it in English are able to?
As much as I like Sarah Palin, I just don’t see the majority voting for a woman...times have not changed that much! Women like Sarah are paving the way nicely but America’s future woman President likely is not yet born.
Yep. The idea that if Palin were the candidate it would not be about issues, but if Perry were it would is just stupid.
And Perry doesn’t have a chance if he can’t beat Palin. She is the best political talent we’ve had in a generation and JR Perry simply isn’t.
Where’d you get the crystal ball?
Huh?
I’m still holding out for a Palin run. I think, if she runs, she’ll take a page out of Reagan’s ‘80 and ‘84 playbooks, and marginalize her opponent. Reagan spent some time talking about the horrible economy and leadership, but he also spent A LOT of time talking about his love of America, how our best days were still ahead etc. That resonated with voters. Sarah can honestly talk about a love of America and patriotism. Our Dear Leader has neither. Add in her beating him up on jobs and you have a winning formula.
With all that said, I do like Rick Perry and would gladly vote for him. I think our Dear Leader’s will have a coronary trying to minimize the jobs creation in Texas.

I think it is still too early to predict who will win the Republican nomination, but I will make a prediction.
Whomever is running on the Republican ticket will beat Obama.
Lincoln said it best. You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you can not fool all the people all the time.
nobody in the race looks great to me... I hope we get someone good, but “Anyone but Obama” is my slogan..
...Republican Gov. Rick Perry earned applause from the crowd [at a meeting of the Texas Border Coalition] when he said strategic fencing along the border makes sense but the idea of a complete wall or fence is “preposterous.”
Instead, he wants the federal government to establish a guest-worker program that will allow the government to track workers, he said.
...Perry was asked after his speech whether it was a good or bad idea to do away with citizenship as a birthright [via proposed Texas legislation].
“I think any of those types of legislation that create divisions are bad,” he said. “We need to look at ways to be bringing people together rather than driving wedges between them.”
That failure, combined with Perry’s comments that the U.S.-Mexico border fence was “idiocy” and that efforts to deny citizenship to U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants are “divisive,” have rung in the ears of anti-illegal immigration conservatives.
If we do not control illegal immigration, I guarantee this country is gone. Rick Perry is another George W. Bush on Illegal Immigration.
Perry has said that the Border Fence is Stupid,
Perry has said that he is against denying citizenship to baby’s born in the U.S. of illegal immigrants,
Perry is for providing in-state tuition benefits to children of illegal immigrants. (That is an incentive for the Mexican illegals to keep their children in school in Texas, knowing that they will get what only U.S. Citizens in Texas receive)
We had George W. Bush, who was awful on illegal immigration, we do not need George W. Bush Jr., or Rick Perry.
Just because we want to get rid of Obama, does not mean we need to elect a loser on illegal immigration, an issue, as important as the economy.
We don’t get tough on Illegal Immigration, we are done as a country.
Rick Perry will never get my vote, because of his weakness on illegal immigration and I am an American of Hispanic Heritage.
Perry can make his own quote: DO YOU WANT 4 MORE YEARS OF THIS? OR DO YOU WANT 4 MORE YEARS OF WHAT WE ARE IN NOW?
Perry probably isn't perfect on all the issues, but I doubt we'll find a candidate that is. I know I've seen a few threads here that have pointed out some potential flaws in Sarah Palin's record that would make her a less than perfect candidate. But most of us would vote for her if we had the opportunity, so I see no reason why Perry couldn't get our votes provided he isn't a total RINO. But we'll see how things play out in the next few months.
