Our likely choices SUCK thus far.

I am not a huge fan of Perry, but
compared to Romney, Newt, and the rest of JOKES running for President he’s a rock star.

Texas has been voted #1 business climate for the last seven years.

Texas has been getting all of California’s jobs.
Perry must be doing something right.

We need a good business guy right now.
Perry has proved it.

. Sarah Palin threw her endorsement to Rick Perry for governor.

. Pro-life, Pro-guns, pro-spending cuts, pro-business

. He’s an outside-the-Beltway candidate

. Fighting with Obama on many fronts
Google Perry/Obama and you will see he’s been fighting him and his government for the past two years.

. Since Perry has been Governor of Texas, Texas has added more than 850,000 jobs, more than all other states combined. Texas has added over 180,000 jobs since August of 2009.

. There is no such thing as ‘Perrycare’

. According to this web site Texas is #1 this year and last year for business friendly.

Obama would not want not run against a governor that has the BEST business climate in the U.S. when everything else is in a depression.

. He used to be a Democrat. So? So did Reagan.

• He refused to raise taxes when Texas faced a record $10 billion budget shortfall in 2003. Instead, he was the first Texas governor since World War II to sign a budget that lowered state spending (and has now done it twice). As governor, Perry has used his line item veto to cut over $3 billion in proposed spending.

• In 2005, Perry signed a historic $15.7 billion property tax cut for homeowners and businesses that also included new taxpayer protections against appraisal increases. In 2009, Gov. Perry secured a tax cut for approximately 40,000 small businesses in Texas and protected the Rainy Day Fund for future challenges.

• He led the battle to pass the country’s most sweeping lawsuit reforms, closing the door on junk lawsuits that had been making trial lawyers rich while driving countless doctors either out of the state or the profession all together. Since Texas voters approved these reforms, malpractice claims and premiums have fallen and access to healthcare is increasing across the state as doctors have applied in droves to practice in Texas.

. He is not a Ivy League grad

. The Bush’s don’t like him

. He was an Air Force captain who flew a C-130

. Speaks Spainish.
(Odumbo says everybody should speak a foreign language, but he CAN’T)

. Won governorship of state with lots of latinos

. Perry has Romney’s looks without the other baggage.
Raised on a ranch. Has hair. 6’ tall- presidential (especially after Obama)

Americans will get it:

Better looking
Better record
Rick Perry for President.

We could do better and we could do a whole lot worse.

I wouldn’t be on fire for Rick Perry but I’d get behind him sooner than I would some of the clowns that are already out there.

Personally, I’d rather see him as the first President of the New Republic of Texas rather than President of the United States.

No way, no how!

Rick Perry is GWB II.

I've had enough of so-called Big-Government Conservatives.

If he is the nominee, I vote third party.

He would be worse than GWB, more akin to Arnold.

Made the mistake of voting for the lessor of two evils for the last time.

Either the GOP puts an actual conservative on the ballot for POTUS, or they can count on me voting for someone else who actually represents my principles.

“Odumbo says everybody should speak a foreign language, but he CAN’T”

Au contraire - he speaks fluent ARABIC.

Thanks - finally someone who has given some facts to put this man in perspective. What bothers me about this site sometimes is that certain purity tests, and we all have them, lead some to shoot themselves in the foot. If you look at some of this man’s real accomplishments he is so much better then the current occupant of the White House. Some, however, seem content to let Obama have another four years because they are not 100% satisfied with some of Perry’s positions.
