I love having Perry as my Governor. We’re in good shape down here. He brings in the business and finds ways for the state to make money, which has helped us keep our taxes low as well as a vibrant economy. He’s a Christian, he’s pro-life, pro-gun, he’s family, he’s a husband of the land, and when he has to get in somebody’s face, he will. He’s served his country in uniform. He also detests the EPA and ObamaCare’s insanity. We’ve had high risk insurance pools to cover those with pre-existing conditions before anybody else thought of it. And we’ve had two sets of Tort Reform before anybody was willing to buck the trial lawyers and their lobby. He’s NOT a scull and bones lawyer. He’s not pro-union, he’s right-to-work.

His minuses are that sometimes he hies off in a direction with enthusiasm and then we have to slap him up side the head when we see the far-reaching consequences. Like the Trans-Texas Corridor. He saw a way for the State to make money with little investment. Good idea, until he ran into the eminent domain that would suck up good farmland. And the fact that Texans don’t like the idea of foreigners having control of a major transportation route cutting our state in half. But when we marched on the capitol and struck a hammer to his head, he listened and he backed off. Some were screeching he’s pro-NAFTA, but he never supported the Union. He just supports free trade and we’re one of the country’s biggest exporters.

Because of Texas’, notice I said Texas’ success, he’s high profile. He’ll be able to assemble a war-chest of the biggest and brightest, not to mention MONEY! The money part is good, but can get scarey. Too much influence stirring the pot. I said ‘Texas’’ success because it’s a group effort. The people down here are basically of the land. We’re reasonable, yet independent. We’re not pretentious, nor fake or high maintenance like the California crowd. We don’t let others muck ruck around in what’s ours. The idea that a fool needs a union to suck off our salary so we can work in a job is abhorent to us. Why in the HELL would you need to pay a union what you can do for yourself better. We raise sheep, we know their mentality, sheeple we will NEVER be. And we were smart enough to recognize when the democratic party turned commie and we threw their butts out. We’re still trying to forget the Texas native son that was the FIRST communist president president of the US. Even the county with his boyhood home in the county seat, just REFUSED an 18-foot bust of the old commie be placed on the courthouse lawn.

I have no reservation that he would make a ‘good’ president and be an asset. But he’s slow, he’s a plodder like most husbands of the land, and he takes LOTS of encouragement, and he’s very, very compassionate, and he loves this country. I was raised in a family of men just like him. The very salt of the earth.

But THIS TIME, we need somebody viscious, that can fight dirty, that’s got the ideas up front, that’s quick, that’s a strong debater, and especially one that’s prepared to slash and burn Washington DC to the ground NO HOLDS BARRED! Somebody ready to buck the establishment and call them out immediately, and put them in jail if necessary. No pandering, no posturizing, and no backroom deals!

If Sarah Palin does not come out, however, no matter what, I will put the full force behind Perry, as will the Texas Tea Party that’s had his full support from the get-go. As much as I love Michelle Bachmann and praise her work in getting our voice in congress, Rick Perry, as well as Sarah Palin has schooled us, helped mold us into a formidable entity in our state that’s helped us push thru much needed legislation here.

God bless America, and help us win it back!

Thanks for your informative, objective post. :)

As for:

“But THIS TIME, we need somebody viscious, that can fight dirty, that’s got the ideas up front, that’s quick, that’s a strong debater, and especially one that’s prepared to slash and burn Washington DC to the ground NO HOLDS BARRED!”

That would have been Donald Trump, but he is not running.

Perry is as close as you can get to that, while still being electable, with a chance of beating Obama, which should be our main objective.
