……”Perry didn’t have a lot of use for the media — not after two terms as governor — nor did the media have much use for him, as most major papers endorsed his GOP rival in the gubernatorial primary and Democratic rival in the general election.

He further enraged the media when he spoke at a national editorial writers gathering last fall and wouldn’t take questions, prompting the group’s “stunned” president to send Perry a letter accusing of him of “disingenuousness” and going back on his word.

The fact is, Perry was so far ahead that he didn’t need the press, and he romped to a huge win in his reelection bid.”…. Source

Just so he picks Rubio or Allen West for VP. I am a Texan and dislike a couple of things Perry has done but I will vote for him in 2012 without hesitation. And actually, I prefer him to the current campaigners. I don’t like Romney, Bachman is an exceptional woman but don’t want her for president. Huntsman makes me think of the ‘old guard’ RINO’s, and that just wont cut it. I love Cain, respect Pawlenty. How could you not like Rand Paul, but...and its a big ‘but’. I say, go for it Perry....

bill burton is a lowdown, filthy-dirty, scumsucking, bottom feeding, loathsome, treacherous, diabolical, particularly vile, shifty, venomous viper in a nest of same.

Perry bothers me personally as I am not sure his outward appearance represents his inner motive. However, as soon as the Dem’s start throwing their spears, his charismatic response like a general in a war will cause him to be the winner. He has excellent leadership abilities in a time of battle.... We just have to be careful that the ends do not justify the means of the battle and we end up with someone extreme in the other direction.
