Don’t you just know the Looney Left over at Du and Kos are laughing up their sleeves about some FR haters trying to destroy Perry, the man they are most afraid of?
They’re also probably busy taking notes.

From DU and Kos:

From Democratic Underground forum:

(On Perry)
“You have no idea how much money this person has behind him. I do not want to say the sky is falling in but he and his machine are dangerous.”

“For anyone that is laughing off Perry’s ambitions. Do not underestimate Perry’s appeal. Perry is a real threat. He is slicker than wet dog shit and a will draw a freight train of big money to back his run.

The current incarnation of the repug party will LOVE Perry if he gets in the race. People outside of Texas just don’t know much about him. Enough of the squishy middle will vote for him just because he’s not Obama.

A Perry administration would be a disaster for us.”

Why Rick Perry is Very Very Scary

(Exerpts)

If you are not concerned about Perry running on the Texas job creation numbers that the Dallas Fed officially reported, look below the squiggly thing and consider the remarks in a speech to a local Dallas trade group by Richard W. Fischer, President of the Dallas Fed, in which he squarely credits Texas job growth to Perry’s insane, laissez faire Republican agenda of no taxes, no services and no regulation and corporate supremacy in all things.

He’s (Perry) the kind of candidate to whom everyday Americans can relate. He has an abundance of political skills, which explains why this career politician has never lost an election. He is affable, charming and a great campaigner.

Rick Perry is coming. Rick Perry is a sitting Governor in a state that can be portrayed as thriving in an election focused on jobs. the economy and the validity of Republican governing philosophy. Rick Perry will storm to the Republican nomination with his jobs record, political skill and impeccable Tea Party credentials. Rick Perry is playing the ant in a Texas remake of Aesop’s Fable, The Grasshopper and the Ant, but Winter won’t come until after the 2012 election. Rick Perry is very very scary.

If you’re not scared yet, consider these remarks from one of the debunkers of Perry’s economic record who, as a newspaper reporter and columnist in Dallas, knows the Governor very well:

And Perry also has (2+ / 0-)

the bona fides to bring out all of the religious conservative vote in a way that Romney or Pawlenty never could. He’s got enough Huckabee in him.
