Republicans need to take a serious second look at Rick Perry, the only one who is a solid conservative and has a solid record of job creation, who can contrast his record with Obama's -- none of the other GOP candidates can do that.

OK but they need to look at what he does, not what he says.

When one of my fellow Texans who, having resided in Texas for over twenty years, on and off, within the military, had to pay out of state tuition for his daughter as they didn’t meet a residence requirement - a twenty five year active duty man.

Illegal aliens are placed ahead of this family for in state tuition rates by Perry’s approval.

Start there then search for his actions to coincide with his rhetoric.

Two MAJOR problems with Perry.

1) His illegal immigration stance which could alter our culture and our national sucurity.

2) His electibility. Obviously if he cannot move to the top of the GOP ticket he would never be able to move up in the general election.

That being said, I like Rick Perry a lot and wished he had different views on illegals. He is indeed conservative on most other issues.

Personally, I think his staying in the race at this point only helps Romney and Romney represents "liberalism". So, in a nutshell, Rick Perry is helping to advance liberalism in the GOP by accident.

He’s all in on SC, where he’ currently registering single digits with more than one poll. A bad showing there ends it.....or should. If he stays after that, he’s officially a stalking horse.

I'm not a Republican, I'm too conservative for that, however I have looked at him....and Gingrich....and Santorum.

I'll vote for any of these three that show the best opportunity to beat Romney and 0bama.

All three are good.

Obama will not rest until everyone has a job

Why worry... Kenyan King Hussien is going to work so hard to make sure we all have jobs...
The MSM just boldly proclaimed that the unemployment crisis is almost cured!

I like Perry in that when he is elected he will be determined to eliminate the agency that he forgot during the debate. I don’t think any other candidate will talk about eliminating agencies because they have in laws, friends, etc. that they have hooked up working there which is a reprehensible reason.

He's rolling.

Rick Perry: Let’s Put Troops Back In Iraq ["I would send troops back into Iraq"]

....."PERRY: I -- I think we start talking with the Iraqi individuals there. The idea that we allow the Iranians to come back into Iraq and take over that country, with all of the treasure, both in blood and money, that we have spent in Iraq, because this president wants to kowtow to his liberal, leftist base and move out those men and women. He could have renegotiated that timeframe.

I think it is a huge error for us. We’re going to see Iran, in my opinion, move back in at literally the speed of light. They’re going to move back in, and all of the work that we’ve done, every young man that has lost his life in that country will have been for nothing because we’ve got a president that does not understand what’s going on in that region."

Rick Perry calls Obama 'a socialist' in GOP debate

ANDY HILLER:

10:06:46:00 Governor Perry, your party’s last nominee, John McCain, wrote in the Washington Post in an Op-ed about a year ago, his words, “I disagree with many of the president’s policies, but I believe he is a patriot sincerely intent on using his time in office to advance our country’s cause. I reject accusations that his policies and belief make him unworthy to lead America or opposed to its founding ideals.” Agree?

RICK PERRY:

10:07:13:00 I make a very proud statement and of fact that— we have a president that’s a socialist. I don’t think our founding fathers wanted America to be a socialist country. So I disagree with that— premise that— somehow or another that— President Obama reflects our founding fathers. He doesn’t. He talks about having a more powerful, more centralized, more consuming and costly federal government. I am a tenth amendment believing governor. I truly believe that we need a president that respects the tenth amendment, that pushes back to the states. Whether it’s how to deliver— education, how to deliver health care, how to do our— environmental regulations. The states will considerably do a better job than a one-size-fits-all Washington, D.C., led by this president."

Perry should’ve dropped out after IA like he was initially going to do.

One article said Perry would handily win the TX primary on April 3 if he were still in the race then, but I wonder.
