We are at war. We need a veteran as CINC/POTUS in these trying times. Sarah Palin is my first choice for president, but I believe strongly that she will not run, and although she is not a veteran, I would certainly give her a pass on that issue if she did run. She is one tough lady.
That said, Perry's veteran status and his care of both active duty military and veterans puts him high on my list.
Some will probably quibble about him on other issues, but the reality is, if we do not win this war against the Islamic radicals, nothing else will matter.
Watch out for trolls trying to distract us from that overriding issue.

“Watch out for trolls trying to distract us from that overriding issue.”
And another gigantic issue is JOBS, upon which Gov. Perry has a strong record. He has maintained and increased the pro-business environment of Texas and the state has been adding jobs by the tens of thousands.
I am a U-Haul dealer in Missouri and it would be impossible for me to count how many families I have sent to Texas in the past couple of years. Just look at U-Haul rates to Texas from just about anywhere.....they are HIGH due to strong demand.
In addition to the war, this election will be about jobs.....and Obama’s record on jobs is absolutely abysmal......Gov. Perry’s record shines brighter than the sun, in comparison!

In other words.. don’t vet him he served his country? I served my country for 8 years. I would expect nothing less than for people find out what I am all about before casting their vote.
This native Texan “troll” thinks we can do better than Perry............
