Yes, and as you no doubt know, much better a West Texas drawl than an East Texas or Mississippi, Alabama, or Georgia drawl. A strong East Texas drawl almost might be a deal breaker for me, and I live there!

I want him to sign a “no path to legal status for illegal aliens” pledge and that he will push for the Sensenbrenner Immigration Reform Bill. His record of giving in-state tuition for illegal aliens needs to be addressed as a mistake.

That is a big worry for me too. Remember, GW Bush's "Comprehensive immigration reform" was not "amnesty." The language on this has to be very precise.

Wrong thread. Most folks posting here are looking for a candidate who can defeat Obama, not make their hearts go pitter patter.

More platitudes and sound bites. What about Social Security? What about bank restructuring? What about Communist China? What about securing the borders? What about the alliance between Big Business and Big Government that is squeezing ALL of us out? Do you think it will be different with Rick Perry? Let’s talk about government spending in the State of Texas and at the Federal level. Let’s here Perry talk issues. Let’s here him debate with FACTS before the coronation.

lol

that’s pretty far west, you should be pretty familiar with the accent :P

completely different than an east Texas accent, which sounds more like Boomhauer on King of The Hill.

Apparently not enough for the Texans anyway.

“Here’s why Perry will drop out soon:”

That is Obama’s prayer to Mohammed.

The GOP controlled both Houses of Congress during that time and only legislative drek was the end consequence.

I hear ya, that's what I meant by having the "proper" people in the House and Senate (i.e. TP members)

If we would have had more TP people in the House to counter the squishy RINO's, we wouldn't of ended up with this stupid debt bill.

2012 needs to be another TP wave in all three branches, but so far I don't see the perfect TP candidate for POTUS.

But I also realize we need a candidate who can beat, and hopefully utterly destroy bammie in 2012.

Is is Perry? Can't say I've made up my mind yet at this point, luckily we still have some time.

Here’s one fact that will resonate with the American people: under Perry, Texas created jobs. This is something no one else in the race - Democrat or Republican - can claim.

He’s got my vote.

“now prissy Obama will have to stand next to a real “made in America” man for comparison and I don’t think Obama is up to the task”

All his privileged life Obama has had the luxury of criticizing and attacking others. I really wonder if he can stand being on the other end of relentless criticism for the next year. There’s an old saying that “the anvil can take more than the hammer”. This may well apply in Obama’s case. In boxing parlance, we may find he has a glass jaw.

At the end of the day, I want Obama out of the White House. Any Republican would be an improvement, but we should fight like hell for the best degree of improvement. Palin, Perry, Cain, Bachmann...all are light years ahead of Obama. I personally don't believe we have four years to spare to save this nation.

What you said. This will be a fight for our nation's very survival.
