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?
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.
I like Rick Perry, but I like him in Texas.
If we don’t get tough on Illegal Immigration, the U.S.A. is going by way of California, Bankrupt!!!!!!
Perry is a George W. Bush Clone on Illegal Immigration, not wanting to offend the Mexican Government.
Perry has positives, no doubt, just like Bush did, but his weakness on an important issue like Illegal Immigration eliminates him from the field.
If we don’t control Illegal Immigration, in 20 years Texas will be like Miami, where if you don’t speak Spanish you don’t get a job, you are screwed.
I speak Spanish and am Bilingual and have Mexican Friends, and I know that if Illegal Immigration is not stopped in the next couple of years, you can kiss our great American Heritage Good-bye.
Perry should never get the GOP Nomination because he is weak on Illegal Immigration.
Won’t be Perry. Sorry. Bachmann can take him on. Palin will also steal his thunder when she comes in. Perry is only good for finishing off Romney.
Perry will fail for the same reason his favorite social conservative Giuliani did in the last race, he's too clever by half.
Bachman's been doing the work. I've heard her voice on Obamacare. I heard her voice on the debt celing. She'll get my vote to the end if she stays the course.
