Oh, Excuse me. I inadvertently walked in to the standard, anti-Perry thread. Thought it was a real discussion about a sitting Governor who is remarkably qualified to run for POTUS.
Governor Perry is the epitome of all we once thought of as being a typical, all-American. Once thought of. Eagle Scout, (and reared his son to acheive that status)high school graduate, college graduate (Corps of Cadets), served his country by being commissioned in the Air Force, completed pilot training, and flew C-130 tactical airlift in the United States, the Middle East, and Europe until 1977. He left the Air Force with the rank of captain, returned to Texas, and went into business farming cotton with his father. Think of that. A farmer too. Has an A plus rating from the National Rifle Association. Three term governor. Religious. Bold Conservative. Patriotic. Always proud of his country.
Stated in a campaign YouTube: “There's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military, and your kids can't openly celebrate Christmas.” - Rick Perry. (By the way, this YouTube received a half a million “dislikes.”)
Chairman of the Republican Governors Association.
You may not approve of or vote for Governor Perry, but to suggest he's not qualified or that “we would not know his name” is absurd. Your tag-line says all I need to know.
Excellent post Fryingpan101. I solidly agree on all points. Perry in 2012!
Totally agree. I am hoping he starts getting notice from others.
I’ve met him twice in this campaign and he did seem snobbish, my personal opinion. What he says about Iowans
not being Real Republicans I think confirms my opinion.
In my county Mitt never even placed but we’re not Republican? Do you think that if Perry started out with very little money like Santorum (not stuck on him) that he would have even run. Dream on!
