Oh, if cair thought it was so freaking important to ANNOUNCE BEFORE his announcement, that SOME muslims support him, then cair supports him, or they would have kept their mouths shut. You can tell me anything... but don’t try to tell me about islam and what they do.

I already got an email from his official Presidential campaign asking for donations.

He looks a little more nervous than usual, at least earlier in his speech. I don't know if it's hot there or if his sweating is part of being nervous.

The bottom line is that Perry isn't my first choice but he's a whole lot better than Romney and he's probably one of the few that can beat him.

The danger to the conservatives is not who WE vote for, but who the "crossover" democrats vote for in the GOP primaries...like they did last time.

Exactly...Democrats gave us McCain last time around...wonder who they will choose for us this time?

CAIR (pardon the pun) to provide a link? What has he done to give aid to radical Islam?

If you FReepmail me cuz I have to leave the house in about 5 minutes. But CAIR was a un-indited co-conspirator in a Federal Terrorism Trial, I believe it is the "Holy Land Foundation" trial.

They are also the gutter group that got Michael Savage banned from England while working in tandem with the gay fascist website Media Matters. Go to www.michaelsavage.com he has all the info on there.

Anyways I have to leave and won't be home till around midnight CST I can send ya all the info about CAIR and what these thugs have done.

And then 4 years later we'll all be here on Freerepublic going "How could we be 28 Trillion in debt?

Well, if we don't have the proper people in the HOuse and the Senate, it won't matter much who is in the oval office

Me too. I think he's our only chance against Obama. None of the other Republican contenders stand a snowball's chance.

Now will come the attacks against him, which will be the most vicious, dirty, lying, scurrilous we've ever seen.

First sour note for me is talk of "innovating, educating...etc"

That is NOT the business of the federal government. I hope to hear him focusing in on the Constitution and his intention to govern within IT.

Man... this guy has a lot of George Bush mannerisms. And it sounds like the same speech writer as well...

Romney and ObamAA+ must be shaking in their boots now. I think once Romney drops out Palin will come on. I think that’s the reason why Perry’s in now. He’s to rid the primaries of Romney.

Palin OR Bachmann deserve the nomination. Heck, I would take a ticket with both of them either one could be the POTUS. I love the both of them. They have shown so much courage through all the hatred and bile thrown at them by the MSM and the pigs on the left wing blog sites.

I’d probably vote for him if I had to but wouldn’t like it. And what’s with that delivery, is that normal for Perry? “God blesh yuh!” at the end.

I agree. None of the IOWA gang can get it done in my opinion.

We had high hopes for another "tough talking Texas Conservative" not too long ago.

I don't have high hopes for anything that pertains to government. We need Perry, Palin or someone with stature to defeat Obama and keep things from getting even worse. No President will fix this mess. But maybe he (or she) can at least slow down the onslaught.

I like what I am seeing thus far and welcome him into the race and let's see what happens. At least one difference between Perry and Bush is that Perry is a good speaker.
