[Happy Rain]

Perry's biggest problem is,when he speaks before Texans he just sounds like another Texan yet when he is heard by non Texans—through no fault of his own—he is another George W Bush,better diction for sure,but still another W.
W was a good man and a fine first term president,but his going all RINO during his second term gave us the greatest national disaster since the War Between The States—Obama that is.
Perry would make a good president but when he talks,I'm reminded of the last great Texas disappointment.
Rick needs a Mr Higgins to fix his drawl—you know,like repeating,"The Masses of Texas Speak Spanish in Pecos." By George I think he's got it!

I wanted Steve Forbes and ran threads all over FR for him.

George W. Bush is history.

Perry is not a Bush.

What kind of accent do you have?

Not that it matters, but maybe I just can’t take you very seriously if it reminds me of someone....ya know how that goes.
