If it walks talks and panders like a politician.....

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results every time.


Without the basic RIGHT TO LIFE, there are no other rights.

And how about two more words.

Pro-immigration. Anti-citizen.

He just looks and sounds establishment. Not any meat to get hold of.

"Rick Perry unsheathed one of the greatest assets he possesses in his quest for the presidency: an appealing life story"

Oh, I don't know just how appealing the story of his all-to-recent Democrat history is. I haven't forgotten his stance on abortion and illegal immigration, have you?

The RINO Perry seems to be in DENIAL about four words:

Gardasil-MANDATE,
Open-Borders-for-Illegals,
Rove-created Poser

One should judge a RINO by his walk, not his latest talk.

Rick Perry’s early childhood seems to have been character building with good parenting.

I would love to see a list of former Presidents’ functional and dysfunctional beginnings and sibling screw-ups. It might be a window into expectations.

i.e. Clinton’s mom Virginia & bubba Roger. Obama’s mama & poppa. Jimmy’s brother Billy. The Kennedys.

Of course, most of our Presidents were born into families that were God-fearing, stuck together through hard times and loved America....before our values and morals took a hike.

In Biden Land, that would be three words.

"Hard work, faith and thrift" and "the States created the Federal Government..."

Well, I suppose Sarah Palin will be happy to have Perry chime in on what she's been saying all along... albeit his being three years late to the party.

What a simplistic dunce.

Three words: Fake, Phony, Fraud. He makes my skin crawl because he is a transparently slimy politician. I don’t much care about his stated policies or philosophy. This guy stinks and he has been bought.

So, the lefts first attack on Perry is that Texas has a $26 billion deficit under his watch. What’s up with that?

Perry is pro-life and is NOT a lawyer.

I'm going to give him a hard look but so far, what I've seen looks pretty good. And the detractors haven't given me much pause--yet.

I have two 4 word sentences for Perry: “Don’t wear corduroy jackets” and “Please change your mind”......

His speech was great, he hit all the right points... I was particularly happy that he mentioned how exceptional America is. I have been a bit dismissive of him in the past, based on very shallow criteria... but I would now be very pleased to see him sworn in as President.

I am not convinced that Perry is more conservative than Romney. Romney governed to the right in a leftwing State. Perry governs to the left in a rightwing State. You can’t control the political views of your constituents, but you can control your own.
