Do you know why sheriff Joe backs Perry and why Jim Gilcrist of the minutemen back Perry?

It is because those guts are THE BOOTS ON THE GROUND.

Agreed. For me, the three most important questions when looking for a president are:

1) Who will be in the Cabinet
2) Who will be his judges
3) Will he use the veto

For Perry, I dont know the answer to question 1, but Im pretty sure it wouldnt be any holdovers from Bush. I wouldnt be surprised to see someone like Mitch Daniels show up there, with Pence looking at the Indiana Governor. I also wouldnt be surprised to see Palin.

As to question 2, it is a mixed bag. He has made judicial appointments of moderates as well as conservatives. And at least one time, it looked like he picked a Hispanic to fit a Hispanic area.

For question 3, he definitely will use the veto pen. I believe he has used it more than any other Texas Governor.

Sheriff Joe is not in either the Yuma or Tucson sectors, and is not a Border Patrol official. I know him personally, and am helping him in his current campaign. He is a great American. His endorsement of Rick comes more from a personal relationship with the Governor. Remember, Joe also endorsed Janet Napolitano for AZ Gov, so I wouldn't put too much weight on it.

The thing I like about Perry is he knows who the players are.

He will clean house.

Joe is Maricopa county sheriff, that is tucson sector.
I was spoke in error. I thought he was sheriff in the yuma sector at one time.

I stand by my wider point.

The R stands for airborne...

In United States military aviation: The letter "R" designates a reconnaissance aircraft. The letter "Q" designates an unmanned aircraft. The letter "F" designates a fighter (primary target is enemy aircraft). The letter "B" designates a bomber and the letter "A" designates and attack aircraft. In both cases, the primary target is enemy surface assets. The distinction can be a bit confused, although "B" is usually heavier than contemporary "A". The letter "H" designates a helicopter. The letter "U" designates a utility aircraft. The letter "P" currently designates a patrol aircraft. The letter "E" designates an electronic warfare aircraft. The letter "C" designates a cargo aircraft. The letter "K" designates an aerial refueling tanker.

Historically, the letter "P" designated a pursuit aircraft, what we would now call a fighter. These conventions are most closely observed by the Air Force and Army. Historically, the Navy used designations that seem almost random.

These letter designations can be combined as needed.

Now ...

What's an "RQ-anything"?

Negative.

The Q designates that it is an intelligence collection platform that sucks up intel DC to daylight

That is simply incorrect. Look it up.

At anyrate, busting Perry chops over the drone comment “predator or what ever the fudge” was stupid.
We all know it was not a predator drone.
Perry’s best moment was on the matter of intel assets.
He hit it out of the park!

The letter "U" designates a utility aircraft.

True, but "U" can additionally stand for unmanned, as in UAV-unmanned aerial vehicle.

I am describing the designation of aircraft, not RADAR.

Don't confuse the poor fellow ... he thinks "R" means an aircraft (wrong), and "Q" means "an intelligence collection platform that sucks up intel DC to daylight" (also wrong).

Get that bit straight, then we can discuss the nutty designations used for avionics systems.

I don't believe you. Your are posting errors which someone who lives aviation would not make.

Concur. Perry's remark was spot on ... of all the things that the Big Zero could have done, he did the very worst.

BTW, this does not surprise me. The Big Zero seems to have a real talent for picking the worst of all possible options in any given situation, and executing it.
