....."He is an extremely astute politician with a keen sense of where voters are, and he has great instincts on message. Perry has ruthless discipline and communication. They say in politics, “Don’t let your boot off an opponent’s neck till Election Day.” Perry doesn’t take his boot off till a year after the votes have been counted and the opponent has faded into oblivion."..... source

His biggest liability may appear to be the country's most recent experience with an ex-Texas governor as president

The media/left will call it the 3rd term of GWB. A good case can be made that he is very similar to Bush, especially regarding his stance on immigration.

Rick Perry is an opportunist. If he thought the way to win an election was by running as a Communist, he would be waving the red flag and singing the “Internationale” at the top of his lungsl

And yes, I am a Texan

I’ve been around the Corpus Caller all of my life. It used to be a very good paper and through the years it has turned into the worst, slanted, biased piece of toilet paper I’ve ever seen. For over 35 years I refuse to buy it. It is simply a Mexico loving, American hating rag and voice for those who wish to embrace socialism.

Now, if Solomon Ortiz happened to cut his finger, that would be front page news!

Rick Perry. Texas’ answer to Edwin W. Edwards.

What DUMBASSES thought Kay Bailey Hutchinson was going to beat Perry for Governor?? HAHAHHAHA....she didn’t have a chance in hell to beat him.

I have a gut feeling Perry will be the very first to actually start a “pay as you drive” road tax initiative.

Being that Texas is so big (still smaller than Alaska though) and people are buying more fuel efficient vehicles or are just driving much more less the revenues from fuel taxes are nose diving.

So anyway I have a feeling Perry will start this new revenue program, might be a voluntary thing and those that willingly accept an Onstar car nanny to report their daily mileage they will get a discounted price at the pump, but of course they will pay it later when they get the revenue bill.

PESKY TRUTH: Want to know more about Rick Perry?

"we have been displeased with how he governs Texas. "

Yep! That article is as fair a characterization of Perry as I have seen.

Those of us outside the big cities remember with fear and loathing his land-grabbing, run roughshod over fellow Texans' property rights, TTC (AKA "Trash Texas Con-Job"), with its "Give Texas back to the Spaniards" funding strategy...
