Perry is the best way to beat Romney. Where ever Perry gets listed, Romney falls back.
After the August debates, Perry will have close to 80% Name Recognition. We will also see him in more daily headlines, which will probably compare his Texas record for jobs, economy, industry etc,,. There is nothing but good in all these areas and America will respond accordingly.
(There will also be a heavy diet of Crow for several failed Demagogues around here, who failed to take him down.)
There, you see? I can project too!
I thought so.
=^D
Sarah Palin gives him a thumbs up also.
**Let me say one more thing about my friend and your governor: he knows all human life is precious. Rick Perry believes in protecting the most vulnerable in society, and who is more vulnerable than an unborn child? Our value as human beings in the eyes of Our Creator is not diminished by any circumstance.
Not every child is born into ideal circumstances, but every life is sacred. Rick Perry knows this – it is at the core of his being.**

Calling him an atheist is ignorant and defies what those know him say about his strong Christian beliefs.
Where do you get off making idiotic comments like this?
Big government socialist? In 2008 before the recession kicked in, Texas not only balanced its budget but ran an $11 billion surplus.
You're making things up that aren't true.
It's worth noting Ronald Reagan voted for FDR, too.
Gore was the conservative Democratic option at the time and Perry was a conservative Democrat.
People in change in 23 years.
You are the pilot of a large aircraft that is falling out of the sky as it approaches a city. You have enough control to either stay with the aircraft and steer it towards a less populated neighborhood killing a dozen people or bail out and have the aircraft crash into an NFL stadium killing tens of thousands of people but saving yourself.
Your position is that of the coward that would bail out of the aircraft and allow it to hit the stadium, killing tens of thousands, so that you can sanctimoniously brag that you did not intentionally choose to kill anybody.
Only 15% of all voters agree with the "no exception for rape or incest" position which means that such a position automatically dooms any proposed abortion law to certain failure in any State Legislature and thus will never save a single life.
Your position only dooms the tens thousands of lives that CAN be saved by the abortion laws that Texas now has.
You do, however, get to brag on the street corner about how "pro-life" you are.
Perry: Loses bragging rights, is not able to save all lives but saves tens of thousands of lives.
Jacknhoo: Dooms tens of thousands of lives, never saves a single life, but retains bragging rights.
If you desire to participate in apostasy, as Perry does, that is your choice. God gave you free will, for you to make right or wrong choices.
If you believe voting to keep killing legal, that is your own cross to bear...your choice and not mine.
Create your own imaginary scenario so that you can insinuate you have some sort of valid argument but, in truth, you show just how fallacious your thinking is.
Way to go!
Boy, Al Gore and Rudi Julie-annie and Perry have a lot in common.
Rick Perry: The Democrat Years
http://www.texastribune.org/texas-politics/2012-presidential-election/rick-perry-democrat-years/
Excerpt:
Perry’s support of the $5.7 billion tax hike in 1987, signed by Republican Gov. Bill Clements but opposed by most of the GOP members. The bill passed by a relatively close 78-70 in the Texas House. Even without adjusting for inflation, the legislation triggered the largest tax increase ever passed in modern Texas, according to Dale Craymer, president of the Texas Taxpayers and Research Association. Today, taking inflation into account, it would be worth more than $11 billion.
Rick Perry must be gaining a lot of traction.
That was 24 years ago and some actually change in 24 years.
Reagan once voted for FDR and didn't become a Republican until 1962.
