Nice.

Maybe there are 2 good candidates for this race.

I think it’s becoming more clear that Perry will be the GOP presidential nominee. That being the case, I certainly hope that we all unite and support him. Let’s not forget who the real enemy is.

A freight train, heading west of Salina on a moonless morning, 2:00 AM. The smell of sage through the window on a summer night.
A lone tumbleweed rolling down a deserted main street.
Crickets chirping their brave call with the only other sound, blades of Johnson grass and corn spears rattling in the slight wind.

That's not the way I read Signalman's post.

"I think it’s becoming more clear that Perry will be the GOP presidential nominee. That being the case, I certainly hope that we all unite and support him."

Signalman is saying he hopes we will all support the GOP nominee. Obviously at that point, the primaries will be over.

...Rick Perry vetoed 79 bills on the last day of his veto period...

So? But, how many times did he take the Obambam route and vote Present?

—He angered state doctors when he killed a bill that would have forced insurers to pay doctors more promptly. Another controversial piece of legislation he vetoed was one that would have prohibited the execution of mentally retarded criminals.—

I agree with Perry on both of those.

I have to confess that the more I read about this man, the more I like him. And his “liberal” leanings as governor sound no more serious than Reagan’s when he was governor of Kalifornia. Maybe even LESS serious, frankly.

I’ve got plenty of time to decide, thoughg. The debates will be a turning point, IMHO.

I do not believe governors have that option.

Since Obama can’t defend his record, he’s got to attack the other candidate.
I have my doubts Perry can win in 2012.
From here it looks like he will win the nomination, though.
If it’s any consolation, Obama’s record means we’ll have the Senate, and that should defang Obama. (Except for what he can do to SCOTUS in another 4 years.)

Rick Perry is for sale:

Perry racked up $1.2 million in campaign donations in the period after the session ended (state law at the time forbade legislators and state officeholders from accepting donations when the legislature was in session) but before the veto period had concluded. Perry hauled in $175,000 the first day after the session ended, the majority from members of Texans for Lawsuit Reform. That group opposed four bills — and Perry vetoed all of them, a decision that did not go unnoticed by Texas media.

No thanks

The Perry/Palin ticket will be unstoppable. At some point you’ll need to get on board.

That's a bunch of baloney and you can't back it up. Show us the evidence. Who, What, When, Why.
