You don’t know any millionaires? Move to Iowa, they’re all over the place. They’re the guys walking around in blue jeans and bib overalls and seed corn caps.

The man has baggage in his baggage.

Whether he does or doesn't, I'm not sure the 14 million unemployed people in this country give a damn. They're looking for someone to turn the economy around.

Has it not yet occurred to anyone that this is NOT a “normal” election coming up? Every single one of these candidates is going to be scrutinized under a 100x microscope. Perry can’t undergo and withstand that kind of scrutiny. He just can’t. The man has baggage in his baggage.
You are correct, but you overstate slightly. There is one candidate who will not face a public colonoscopy. The incumbent will be gazed upon with naked eyes, like a shooting star. There will be no examination of either his record or his past. “The Won” can count on his media sycophants to cover for him.

If Perry is the nominee, they will try to make him into Bush III. I think that's why the party propaganda ministry is pushing Perry now. He will be their favorite until he gets the nomination. Then he'll be magically transformed into a dumber, more extreme, more dangerous caricature of George W. Bush.

I just don’t think he is going to get that far...especially when people realize where most of his big money funding is coming from.

Hey, you may be satisfied with a rigged process, one that is completely controlled by the money, the media, and the elites, instead of by the people, but I never will be. That’s not what was intended for this free republic.

Ahhhhh, but t/rick had the endorsement of Sarah Palin.

And before the year is up, he'll have her endorsement again.

Stuff it.

Is that the best you can do? Disappointed that Perry's opposition's $100 million wasn't more effective in digging up dirt on him?

Not if voters find out about his past positions on Islam.

No, you've paralyzed yourself by standing along the sidelines pointing fingers. I know you're bitter about something but you have no opportunity to influence anything unless you get in the fight.

Your "third party" is going nowhere and it's not going to go anywhere so get real.

I can't disagree.

I loved Dubya and he was a massive disappointment.

So who, then? Based on the others running, he IS the most likely.

The captions should say “not running” and “running”.

“I’m not sure the 14 million unemployed people in this country give a damn. They’re looking for someone to turn the economy around.”

Yes, I think even the libs on Fox News today actually made that point themselves.

Let’s face it, Obama is a failure. Nobody, NOBODY, thinks he can do any better in the next 4 years than he’s done in the last 4 years.

He can blame Bush, Boehner, the Tsunami, the man-in-the-moon, it doesn’t matter. He’s the pres and he has failed.

This nonsense with the speech, he’s calling a joint session of Congress to do what now? NOT give a major speech? Come on, he’s making everybody’s hair hurt.

Romney, Perry, Palin, anyone of them can beat him. Ron Paul can beat him. Perot could beat him. Trump could beat him.

I’m a very partisan republican, but if the current pres. was republican I’d be ready to pull the lever for “D”. I don’t see who he wins against. Certainly not Rick “jobs, jobs, jobs” Perry.

Well shoot, you’re going “nowhere” even when you “win,” so, what the heck...might as well have a clear conscience.

I will easily overlook the nickel and dime grasping at straws coupled with the out-of-context quotes that have been repeatedly posted here in an ongoing effort to bash Govenor Perry.

I'd like to see Obama voted out of office next November. I don't live in a fantasy world where fringe and non-candidates rise out of the mist and overcome 20-point deficits to defeat incumbent Presidents. As such and with my feet firmly planted in reality, I intend to support the most conservative candidate who is a.) actually running for President and b.) has the ability to beat Obama. In the real world there's two and only two men running who meet the above criteria: Rick Perry and Mitt Romney.

Perry or Romney. Take your pick. I already know who I'm going to back.

Give us the “insider” poop on this “America’s Party” you are the self proclaimed chairman of. You know, the one that is so secret its website is closed. You sure this is not one of Soros or ronpaul’s satellite parties they’ll use to siphon off votes from anyone challenging nobama?

I received this link today from an Orthodox Jewish friend who would probably be termed a “zionist.” I also plan to learn more about this Perry/Islam connection, but someone far more informed than I explains it in this American Thinker article.

The real battlelines have yet to be drawn. When they are, I will choose and I dread the thought of the lesser of two evils again. We simply cannot keep doing that and ever expect to take our country back.
