Rick Perry’s ‘Texas Taint’ Stops Him From Winning Presidency
MEDIAite ^ | July 24, 2011 | Matt Schneider

Posted on 07/24/2011 1:44:02 PM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

Many conservatives and Tea Party activists across the country are eagerly anticipating the entry of Texas Governor Rick Perry into the race for the Republican presidential nomination. Yet Fox Business correspondent Charlie Gasparino suggests that many New Yorkers on Wall Street, presumably of both political parties, are not at all excited about the possibility of a Perry presidency.

Gasparino warns:

“I talk to a lot of Wall Street guys . . . you know I don’t think a guy from Texas can win again. I just think there’s a Texas taint to it all. And I know the big money on the street in New York, I don’t think they’re going to go for a Texan.”

Instead, Gasparino reveals many on Wall Street are preparing for a match-up between President Obama and Mitt Romney. Apparently the “taint” of Obamacare, Romneycare or anything else stinking up these two would wash off much more easily than Wall Street’s enduring fear of anything affiliated with Texas.

Yeah Wall Street and the media.

The very same people that brought us Obamageddon. Americans will really listen to these people that have destroyed jobs and the economy by supporting Zero and his minions.

The elite Left often write about conservatives and Tea Party "activists" as being "provincial."

Exactly.

This little pissant thinks his remarks will steer money from Perry to Romney.

If he knew so much he'd be making money and not reporting on it.

1. When a reporter says “I talk to a lot of [fill in job here]” theres a 75% chance they’re lying their butts off.

2. As much as I feel that Wall Street has been used as a whipping boy, this election will not be kind to a Republican who is seen as Wall Street’s smiling minion. Yes, I’m talking about you, Mitt.

3. If the Texas taint is bad, imagine the Massachusetts taint...or more properly, the Romneycare taint.

4. Jimmah Carter thought the California taint would work. Toward the end of the 1980 campaign he started running ads featuring dissatisfied Californians who disliked Reagan. Seeing a bunch of San Franciscans ate up about a conservative Republican didn’t exactly do a lot to distract people from the stagflation and massive unemployment, and the fact that Bush and Perry both hail from the same state isn’t going to make Americans forget about Obamacare or a trillion dollars down the crapper with no jobs to show for it.
