James Richard “Rick” Perry

born March 4, 1950 in Paint Creek, TX (Meets the Jus Soli Requirement)

Parents were
Joseph Ray Perry born 1925 in TX
Amelia June Holt born 1928/9 in TX

Both parents were US Citizens at the time of his birth (Meets the Jus Sanguinis Requirement)

Rick Perry is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN unlike Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama.

Didn’t he endorse Al Gore when he was running for president and was also his TX campaign manager?

There’s enough RINO’s in this race.

Great post. The more we know about Perry and the rest of the conservative field, the better they look. Pray God that we win with one of them in Nov. ‘12.

Love the story.

But there's just one word not mentioned that troubles me a lot: Gardasil. That was ugly, and also stank of corruption. What should we think of that?

The mandatory hpv vaccine and the mega-superhighway are my biggest problems with him

Fun fact: if you web-search for “Rick Perry’s hair” you get some amusing results. (No, I am not saying he’d be JUST a good-hair candidate.)

LOL! That’s the best you got - he’s not Barack? And neither is my dog.

I’ll add - Perry is NO SARAH PALIN either.

Sorry,

Not interested.

See:

I think there was also a post earlier about him genuflecting before the altar of the Bushes.

I don’t want any more illegal pandering RINOs. One of them helped put Obama in the Oval Office.

Go peddle this pseudo conservative somewhere thanks.

Right, there is no evidence of corruption, but the close relationships between Merck and the govs office is worth a closer look. I’m of the opinion that we could do a lot worse than Perry (Romney for instance), but I would love to support someone like Michele Bachmann as well.

I loved the story also. Too bad the author left out Perry’s dream of the Trans Texas Corridor and his association with the Bilderbergers.

Biggest downside to Perry is the inevitable connections the Dems will draw to GW Bush. (That's not an issue for me, but it would be for some.)

Main strength would be his record, which is good.

Biggest question in my mind: having never heard him address it, is he able to adequately discuss the economy? The dems are apparently going to run against Paul Ryan and his plan -- is Perry up to the task of discussing the economic conditions that it attempts to address?

Not sure why an article about him getting a Republican endorsement is a big deal...

“Unlike California, Texas-based companies and citizens have enjoyed relatively minimal interference, leading to a pilgrimage of Californians to Austin, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio.”

Long as they pull their weight and don’t bring any of their wacky ways with them, they’re welcome.

“The mandatory hpv vaccine and the mega-superhighway are my biggest problems with him”

Mine as well, though I try to weigh them against his desire for a secure border, fiscal conservatism, and strong pro-life stance.

Rick Perry is not Barack Obama.

Are you sure about that?

Sounds like Perry is just as set on pushing his agenda on America as Obama is.

Perry's also not the parent of my child. But he acted as though he knows more than every parent of every child in Texas when he tried to force every child to get the vaccine for Gardasil. Perry signed a bill to make Gardasil mandatory for every sixth grade girl in Texas.

Oh, lookie here. Perry has deep ties to the drug company that makes Gardasil. So he's corrupt like Obama, too.

Nice hair, but no thanks.

BTW: I am entirely in favor of the Gardasil vaccine for the children whose parents want to allow them to have it.

It's more about the government (and Rick Perry) sacrificing parents, children, and families by making things MANDATORY for the purpose of paying back political debts.

Rick Perry is willing to trash families and the lives of children, and thus isn't worth a plugged nickel.

Gardisil is a good vaccine. The same EO made it easier for families to opt out of mandatory vaccines. He”s pro-life, pro-family and takes a stand. He makes a great case for the difference between liberty and license. People who take a stand sometimes ruffle feathers. And they occasionally make mistakes. Perry’s mistakes are played up to the amusement of the true RINO”s.

“Long as they pull their weight and don’t bring any of their wacky ways with them, they’re welcome”

A lot of the Cali transplants in my neighborhood were upset about tax policies. If they even pay taxes, or have employees, the odds are we’re getting the productive ones...
