Rational Thought may think he/she is rational, maybe actually is, but he/she is surely not even moderately well informed — i.e. quite ignorant on the facts. Basing “rational thought” on falsehoods, does not generate truth.
RT says “he’s only been a Governor in the recent past. “
The FACT is:
“The Texas Republican, the longest-serving governor in the U.S., “
“Elected Lieutenant Governor of Texas in 1998, he assumed office as governor in December 2000 when Governor George W. Bush resigned to become President of the United States. Perry was elected to full terms in 2002, 2006 and 2010, an unprecedented feat in Texas political history.”

Wow, I didn't realize he is a career politician.
Can you comment on the powers of Texas Governors? Do they run the state?
“The Texas Republican, the longest-serving governor in the U.S.”

Oh big whup-ee.
Like Nancy Pelosi is worth listening to because she’s been elected so many times. By that measure, any Kennedy is a lesser-god.
Being capable of duping voters isn’t a plus in my book.

One plus with Perry is that he’s been guv long enough to actually have a record.
How about you look up that record... and don’t just gloss over the bad parts for once. Actually LOOK at them, engage your brain and *think* about the ramifications of those bad decisions.
I’ve lived with Perry’s crap. I’ve had to fight Perry.
Yeah, let’s give *that* man a national platform.
