Right now I like perry ! But, I want to see more of his mastery of issues ! Let him answer some controversial issues that he dealt in his carreer ! Atleast he has nice experience under his belt than obama or any other republican candidate !

Perry/Cain looks good to me at this moment !

Don’t worry about this political operatives, who sit 10 hrs a day to do these kind of things !

A dead squirrel in the road outshines Obama.

Would that be a “shovel ready job?” that we never saw?

Obama, the original “drama mamma”

even Jimmy is hiding.

I think if Perry wins the nomination, I’m going to have to stay off of FR, if I have any hope of being able to support him. I truly dislike his supporters.

The constant stream of pro-Perry articles is over the top.

Probably best to avoid a lot of the back-and-forth during the primary -- exhausting battles and bad feelings, and not a lot accomplished.

No, the Tea Party needs to send conservative bills to President Perry to sign. You need a sliding scale of radical conservatism from the House to the Presidency.

Perry will win if he’s the candidate. Hence I’m for him.

I’ll add another to your list.

Perry is a lying, cynical political hack. If you think he’d govern one iota to the right of Bill Clinton or harbors the least little bit of limited gov’t conservatism or pro-US nationalist sentiment, you’ll be sorely disappointed if you take an honest look at his record as governor.
