Do Conservatives REALLY want Rick Perry to Run? - Vanity

Rick Perry:
1. He has done his best to sell Texas' private land to Foreign interests for the I-35 Corridor project which is sometimes called the NAFTA Super highway.

2. He also forced Texas teenage girls, by "Executive Order" to get the HPV vaccine.

3. He supports the IPPF ( International Planned Parenthood Federation). He received much praise from the Democrats for this action, and was demonized by the states Republicans for that choice.

4. Perry also receive a BIG THANK YOU from the Mexican President Vicente Fox for his "Sanctuary Citys" and giving Illegal Immigrants FREE instate tuition to Texas Universities. http://www.youtube.com/watch?f... .

So, If you want to compare Texas to the nation in the 2012 Election (because Texas is a success story right now), then run a TRUE Conservative who is the “most powerful person in Texas politics”, the Lieutenant Governor, David Dewhurst.

The only reason Rick Perry stays in office is because Texas is a Red State and he never has a strong opponent.

It may have been a matter of timing. He may have wanted to wait after being reelected to start legislation on the bill.

Stop making excuses for him. He's been governor for TEN years.

Watch Greta Van Susteren’s interview of Governor Rick Perry...

Why? He's been my governor for the last six years. I think I know him pretty well by now.

In the Part 2 link, at the end Governor Perry says he has no interest in running for President. He is focusing all of his energies on what is going on in the Texas House of Representatives and Senate saying, “Until I can get the legislative session over with I will not get distracted from the work at hand.” This was on the Part 2 video.

I trust your feelings about Governor Perry are spot on being a good Texas conservative. I only know about him from what I have seen on Fox. The videos I have given you links for show me a very likable human being. I wish we were as lucky in our State of Washington to have a governor like yours. I like what he has said about Sarah Palin. They have seem to have a jovial relationship. Perry spoke about how Sarah talked about a T-shirt that showed an outline of Alaska around a much smaller outline of Texas with the words, “SIZE MATTERS.” You can see that conversation on the following video:

Here is another video about your 1254 mile border with Mexico that I find very revealing: Under Attack - Greta On The Border, Part 1

It is absolutely necessary that we secure that border before we talk about anything else. I am sure that if Sarah Palin is elected, something will be done about that.

The Texas legislature is in its second special session. The regular session ended weeks ago. So far, they haven't produced much of what average Texans want from their state government, and I haven't seen that Gov. Perry has been all that persuasive in getting them to put any sort of landmark legislation on his desk.

Frankly, I don't see the point in him waiting until the legislature wraps up its business, to make a decision about whether or not to run. Sounds more like a convenient dodge to a reporter's question, than an honest statement of what he's actually up to.

There's simply too much talk about him running, not to put any stock in it. My guess is that he really does want to see what Sarah's going to do. As you said, they do seem to have a congenial relationship, and I'm sure he knows that his chances of winning the nomination are doomed, if she really does get in.

I doubt that he'd want a failed bid for the White House on his record. Better to partner with her as the VP running mate, or wait til after she's completed two terms in office.

Then again, if by some miracle, she actually stays out, it'll be a green light for him to run.

I'm now an independent and I vote for the most conservative candidate I can. Even in Texas, that's hard.

I was a Republican Precinct Chairman and once I was the Sergeant at Arms at the Travis County Convention when W. was President.

I have met and talked to both W. and Rick Perry. I was a Radio Talk Show host for about 5 years doing my best to preach conservative and Christian values and guess what, it didn't matter.

The devil in the form of Barack Obama still became president. There are too many people in this country who are racist, I do mean racists (liberals) and they voted for Nobama only because he was black because they wanted to prove they weren't racist when they actually proved they indeed were.

I'm tired of voting for the lesser of 2 evils but when the GOP keeps putting people like Perry at the top of the heap, we will continue our gradual descent into nothingness.
