My only real problem with Perry is on immigration. What he ought to do is promise to build a fence, and commit to five years of vigorous enforcement of the current laws, which has never been done. Then (safely after his reelection campaign) we can look at the situation, and decide what to do about illegals already here. That’s probably better than conservatives can hope for and probably not what he wants but it would work.
LOL
That’s was because he showed up to the debates medicated...Bad back or something...Probably during the chicken roping event at some rodeo.
There’s just no two ways about it, that’s gonna be with him forever.
Immigration is one of two problems I have with Perry. The other is he tends to get a bit too cozy with muslims.
I *just* saw one of those New York State TV ads claiming what a wonderful business climate they have and how "55 new businesses have been created!!!"
Really?
I wouldn't be surprised if 55 new businesses were created here in Denton County LAST WEEK!
My only concern is that the huge number of Californians moving here will try to make Texas more like California.
We're going to have to dust off that old bumper sticker "I don't care HOW you did things in Michigan" and update it to California - and maybe repeat it in Spanish...
Oh ya, you're going to love it...
And he demands you giver your kids the meds HE tells you to...
I prefer South Carolina. But there’s too damn many people moving there as well.
Same here.
I’m inclined to like him, if he can keep it together. lol
Sounds like he’s ready to come out swinging. Good on him.
Perry’s job program benefits cheap illegal labor, not Americans.
"He came under sustained attack from his rivals at last Thursday’s debate in Florida for signing a 2001 Texas law granting in-state tuition rates at state universities to illegal immigrant students."
I prefer Ted Cruz or Scott Walker.
But I’d definitely vote for Rick Perry.
Maybe he can take Huckabee’s job.
I’ll give him a second chance. God knows we need someone to turn this economy around. Just have to wait and see how he performs on the campaign trail and in debates. He certainly has the credentials and I think we need someone who has been a governor. I love Ted Cruz and will vote for him if he is the nominee, but I would probably be ok with Perry too - for the most part.
It’s too bad Perry and Cruz are both from Texas.
A Cruz/Perry ticket would be formidable IMO.
A Cruz/Perry ticket would be formidable IMO.
I agree, but I do not think that Cruz will run this time.
I am all for giving Perry a second chance.
I’m afraid our handsome ex-governor has blown it by his brain f*rt during the pres debates and by his weak stand on securing the border. It’s a shame. Otherwise he’d make a good POTUS- just look what he’s done for Texas!!!
He’s stuck with the debate snafu, I don’t see how he ever shakes it. I still like his grit.
It looks to be a big field this time around. I’m more interested in the new faces than the reruns.
