As I said, sadly . . .
I think all Iowa is going to do is reopen this race. There are enough conservatives disenchanted with Romney and Gingrich to reshuffle this race, yet again.
Just wondering why you would post a publication that has no use for Perry except to lampoon him, if indeed you still consider him a possible President.
?
I can support Perry for President. I will have a very hard time supporting Paul, a lesser amount with Huntsman and Mitt. I can support the rest with no reservations.
Why post this trash in breaking? Whoever puts out this rag doesn’t deserve to live in the great state of Texas.
You’re welcome to look at my posting history: I’m not STILL supporting Perry; I never have before. That’s a change based on the current state of the race.
I posted it because I found it to be ironic, and because Texas Monthly picking a Gov. for the first time since Dolph Briscoe as their bum steer is newsworthy. It’s as least as newsworthy as Time Mag’s person of the year. . .

The most conservative are Santorum and Bachmann. However, I would support all of them, even Gingrich, over Obama. One of many reasons: we just have to get rid of Eric Holder and the insanity at the Dept. of Justice where now they are going after innocent people while giving a pass to crooks.
I’ll seriously consider Rick Perry, after Ronald McDonald declines to run.
Oh wait, that would leave PeeWee Herman, Joan Rivers, Al Gore’s 2000 campaign chairman... the list goes on. Kidding? By a hair, let me tell ya...
The idea that I would vote for another luke-warm bucket of horse sweat from Texas, is a severely flawed one.
Texas Monthly is the most liberal rag ever aimed at Austinite Yuppies with ads for Nieman Marcus, Mercedes Benz and other rich urban elitist companies.
Texas Monthly is as relevant selecting Gov. Perry for the Bum Steer award as Time Magazine was in selecting ‘The Protestor’ as its POTY.
Issue-wise, I genrally like him, but Perry seems to get in his own way.
I agree with your analysis. Texas Monthly is every bit as bad, if not worse, than commie rags like The Village Voice. Any Texan who reads or subscribes to Texas Monthly would find himself to be much happier in a place like Berkeley.
And by the way, the libtards who own the publication are based in Indianapolis, they're not even Texans. They just pollute out great state from a distance.
Uh, yeah, sure. Liberals hate a Republican. Dog bites man.
Texas Monthly is just another Lib pos.
Texas Monthly was whining a couple months back about Perry’s desire to put the University system on a diet, increase accountability and make professors carry a real teaching load. No more chewing up tax and tuition dollars on mostly worthless research no one gives a rat’s backside about.
An excellent piece, explaining just about all the reasons people might have not to support Rick Perry for President.
Such important items as: He couldn’t remember his 3rd point during a debate. He gave an overly-empassioned speech in New Hampshire. He didn’t wow people in the debates.
If you are a conservative who thinks the most important things in the 2012 election are covered in that list, you should not support Rick Perry.
If you think the most important thing for 2012 is that we elect an experienced executive who is a solid conservative, who has a record of conservative achievement, and who understands the idea of a limited executive government that stays out of our business, then you might not take this advice.
If you want a proven pro-life leader, a staunch and unwavering defender of 2nd amendment rights, a man who has done more to secure the borders of our country than any other candidate, a budget-balancer who will do everything in his power to end Obamacare, roll back the onerous regulations that are stifling our country, hold the line on spending, reform the tax code, and finally tackle the entitlement nightmare, you should certainly ignore this article.
If you are looking for a slick debater who knows how to say exactly what you want to here, whether they believe it or not, you may consider another candidate like Newt or Mitt. If you want a guy who doesn’t ever make a mistake, I guess Rick Santorum either hasn’t recently, or nobody is covering him so we just don’t know (let’s ignore the whole Toomey thing, it was so long ago).
If you want a guy who is the consensus to win the nomination, if you like the establishment picks for our party, you can sit back and let Newt or Mitt take the nomination. If you like how government operates and want more of it, if you like the idea of a bigger government that will solve problems differently than the liberals but won’t let people solve their own problems, you probably shouldn’t consider Rick Perry.
And if you are dreadfully concerned most about winning elections, and not about WHO it is that you elect, by all means you should not give Perry another look right now — wait for his poll numbers to put him up first, and then join the crowd.
But seriously — if you believe you should pick the next President based on whether they ever forgot what they were going to say, it might be better if you did not vote.
Texas Monthly is a liberal mag....let’s make that very clear!
Surprise surprise. Last year they chose Tom Delay. Bunch of leftist fools.
Liberal is an understatement. It’s a magazine for rich liberals who think they are better than the “little people”. I feel that any negative comments from them would make me like the object of their scorn all the more.
This is a limo-liberal publication. Ofcourse, Liberals hate conservatives in Texas like they do everywhere else in the US. Ole Jake Silverstien would fit in better in New York. He should move.
