Perry will do until we find someone better. I suspect if it were pointed out to him in a factual way, he would be on board with electing the new SOB. So far, that perfect candidate just hasn’t happened.
Pray for some rain in Texas cause you know the Beltway crowd wouldn’t give them the sweat off their federal...
When did Perry create a single job?
Did he get businesses to open in his state? Doesn’t that create jobs for state residents?
Yes, of course you are correct /s
All the other contenders have created jobs out the wazoo.
Do you believe Obama is destroying jobs?
I watched the entire question and answer session and was impressed. At present, Gov. Perry is my top candidate.
(“I’m actually for gun control – use both hands,” Perry quipped.)
Using humor is so Reaganesque.
(yes - I know this is mostly propaganda, but it has had some positive results)
At this point I don’t trust Governor Perry. I hope I’m wrong.
Of all of the Palin supporters you are among the most honest and honorable.
Thank you.
Socialist, government does not and never will create jobs, they have no money until they force you to give them yours.

Thus far, I haven't heard any deal-breakers from Perry. He's squishy on illegal immigration, but that may be more about tactics; favoring job site enforcement over physical border security. (Which is a big mistake on Perry's part, by the way. A border fence is about more than job-seeking Mexican nationals. It's about those categorized as "Other than Mexican" by ICE.)
Perry's right on what the State can do to create a job-friendly environment. He's so right that Democrats in Sacramento are howling about how Texas is "stealing" jobs from California.
He's right about gun control: A two handed grip really is a good idea. : )
And an intangible that Perry has on his side is that all the right people within the GOP establishment are pissed at him.
If someone comes along who can improve on Perry (i.e. understands the importance of a border fence and other border defenses, but isn't single-issue nutty on the matter), then I'll kick Perry to the curb. Until then, let's not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Perry stressed his commitment to balancing the federal budget, ridding the country of over taxation and over regulation, and downsizing the federal government, including reforming the Department of Education and Department of Energy.
“If you want to leave the education department there for a while to be a repository of best practices, I could get along with that, but the fact of the matter is they have not educated one child, just like the department of energy has not created one bit of energy.”
These are reasons I'm leaning Perry.
Thanks. The trouble is, in our area, due to the hardened clay soil, a solid week of rain might cause more home foundation problems.
It sure would be nice though to get a good 6 hour drizzle every day or two for the next month.
Perry = socialist government
seems logical?
I am not trying to attack Perry, but trying to gauge FReepers' opinions on how politicians "create" jobs.
As an entrepreneur who pays no attention to what politicians do or don't do in deciding to hire or invest, I am always amused by such claims by either party. Thanks to those of you who tried to answer the question in the vein it was intended.
