I don’t think Perry will be intimidated by the media.
Last week, they criticized him for his prayer event in Texas .
So, what’s the first thing he does ?
He opens up with a heartfelt moment for the SEALS and their families.
Unlike Barry , the Commander in Chief
who waited
till the end of his remarks on the downgrade this week,
to finally mention the loss.
In his usual soulless fashion.
When it should have been the first thing out of his mouth.
The military may also gravitate towards Perry
because he was an Air Force C-130 pilot.
Perry has a lot of self confidence
and a Reaganesque manliness that is already worrying the media .
And the Democrats.
Barry looks like such a feminized and
frightened wimp in comparison.

Well WHEN you find it let me know. the CAIR site has nothing but BS attacks on Christians, CAIN, and campaign to spread Islamofascism.

But when you find the Terrorist orgs endorsement of an Evangelical Christian let me know.

I don't think she's savy at all. She's over played her hand.

She stepped all over the other candidates in Iowa for no reason. No reason to make enemies who may endorse you when they drop out.

Perry just gave a reaganesque speech, he gives every voter on the fence someone to vote for besides Palin, and there are alot.

If Palin gets in now, she is the one splitting the votes and giving Mitt the lead.

If she jumped in earlier it would be Perry who split the votes.

Prepare to watch her decline in stature and influence from here on out.

Oh she visited Reagans boyhood home ...yawn Perry was speaking.

She still may get in...yawn Perry is already in who needs her.

It’s a Salon article, really reliable source. (/sarc)

It’s a Dem hit piece, trying to turn conservatives against him — typical Dem operation, Obama is scared out of his wits (whatever little he had to begin with) over Perry.

Rick Perry: The pro-Shariah candidate?

If you think this is an endorsement, you have reading comprehension issues. One article from a local branch of CAIR, versus GW's epic buddy-buddy love with the Saudi Royals, or Obama turning NASA into a Muslim outreach program?

Sorry, dude. This is 2011. There's Muslims in America, and they vote. Ain't no candidate, Pubbie or Dem, that isn't going to make a nice speech about Muslims inventing geometry 1100 years ago to try and get some of their votes.

A legislature with the composition of that in Texas can make almost any governor look good.

A branch of CAIR may very well throw their support to Perry in an attempt to split the GOP. Muslims are known for lying to get their way.

Link to quote from Perry It's in the body of the article posted.

Anyone who doesn't pander to hispanics.

Salon had a hit piece about it, see link in my post 290.

But when they asked Perry, here is the reply (from article I mentioned above):

“In an email to Salon, Perry spokesman Catherine Frazier affirmed that Perry “has a good relationship with the Muslim community in Texas.” Asked about his views on Shariah, she wrote: “Gov. Perry took an oath to uphold the U.S. and Texas constitutions, and the principles enumerated in those documents are what guide his leadership.”

“Gov. Christie Defends American Muslims

“I think it is terrible to try to exclude someone from office based only on his religion, and that’s what was happ... “

Funny I can't find you reference on their site.
But interesting you get personal e-mails from CAIR.

Another sound bite! Foreign Policy, Social Security/Medicare, Border Security, Immigration, Energy Policy, and again, what about the Big Business/Big Government Alliance that is squeezing all of us out. It is not as simple as “he created jobs”. I can’t believe the premature bandwagon jumpers on this site.

HE SAID NO SUCH THING

Yes, he did....

Oh, and I don't care that he WENT TO MEXICO TO SAY IT. He's an amnesty guy despite claims to the contrary.
