Rick Perry now “leaning toward getting in”; Perry offered Gingrich campaign manager a job?

The fu**** is going to fall over, he has been leaning for weeks.

[I see my hands]

Señor Perry, aspiring spokesman for La Raza, comments on AZ SB1070:

"Some aspects of the law turn law enforcement officers into immigration officials by requiring them to determine immigration status during any lawful contact with a suspected alien, taking them away from their existing law enforcement duties, which are crucial to keeping citizens safe."

I don’t know what to make of Rick Perry.

Can anyone fill me in on his positions?

How about his character?

Is he worth my attention?

[RitaOK]

I believe I’ll go with “Perry Is IN”, since we’ve been going with Palin is in for 12 months!

Brace yourself, if Mr. Texas gets in, he can steal your show. Great personality, loves guns, is bitchy about the border and can show the nation how it’s all done on JOBS, JOBS, JOBS—all meat and very little lettuce, short on platitudes and long on performance and action.

I see what the Elitists are doing. Romney is a loser too far left and they hate the group of Conservatives and Tea Party types running. Gingrich self destructed and Pawlenty isn’t gaining traction. Why not pick a stooge who Talks totally Conservative but can drift comfortably into the inside the beltway style of thinking. Wa la. Here comes Gov. Perry out of the blue. How convenient.

I didn’t take any notice to any genuine groundswell for this guy, so who is pumping him up for this run?

[boomop1]

I don’t think he has a noteworthy record.

Ignore post #sicks.
Actually, Perry will have the Governor’s Association behind him among all 30 some “conservative” states, where democracy has to be real. The Governor’s Association can sell him to their states and the key is, THEY WILL.

Here's how they place him based on his policies and record:


Rick Perry is a Moderate Conservative.

He is Rudy (and campaigned for him) without wearing dresses.
Take any of the Tokyo Rove wing globalists and you will see pretty much the same record as Perry.

Even though it has cost the closings of clinics and hospitals in some regions of Texas, open borders La Raza boy has continued to block all efforts to cut of Government benefits to illegals.

Look up past threads on the trans texas corridor for details of his eminent domain abuse - basically he is the posterboy for where Kelo Vs. New London ultimately goes.

And there was the venerial disease immunizations for school kids thing.

The list goes on.

Fortunately, in Texas the Governor has only limited power.

My current faves..... Palin, Cain, Perry.

I can’t decide which of the Palin/Cain I like best. Perry is a Romney beater. A Texan is infinitely to a Massachusetts Yankee any day.

No Yankees need apply.

Your new flavor of the day???

[cruise_missile]

This really pops out.

70% of all jobs created in the US last year were in Texas. (Jan 2009)

[dforest]

ROTFL!

[normy]

Well because he's not Palin who will probably endorse him he is a RINO sellout who is being “foisted” upon us. It has absolutely nothing and I mean nothing to do with the over 250,000 jobs created in Texas since Obama has been President. Nothing to do with the 850,000 jobs since he has been governor and nothing to do with his fighting Obama in the trenches with little media fanfare. It's the fact he's a RINO/Open borders/Big government stooge /s

[manic4organic]

Rick Perry did not create them. In Texas the Lt. Gov has most of the power.

[gov_bean_ counter]

According to some of the Texas posters here, he has really sucked in those areas in which the governor has real power.

[plain talk]

mixed bag. Like 43 he doesn’t care about illegal immigration. On many issues he is conservative. he used to be a dem which explains a lot. Surely we can nominate someone better
