Rick Perry will decide on a White House run in 30 days (Truncated title)
Daily Mail ^ | 9 MAY 2015 | David Martosko

FULL TITLE:

Rick Perry will decide on a White House run in 30 days, telling South Carolinians that 'it's not that difficult' to secure the US-Mexico border and the White House battle is really about the Supreme Court

* Insisted Barack Obama has failed because he had to learn executive leadership 'on the job'

* Said the next president could dictate the course of religious-freedom laws by choosing ideologically driven Supreme Court justices

*Spoke to a standing-room crowd of 150 at a BBQ joint near Greenville, SC

* Suggested he would devolve more control to state governments as president

Former Texas Governor Rick Perry isn't ready to launch his second presidential campaign, but a final decision will come within a month, he told a standing-room-only crowd crammed into Dickey’s Barbecue Pit near Greenville, S.C. 'I am a prospective candidate,' he said. 'I'm not going to announce that I'm running tonight. I'm going to make an announcement in the next 30 days.' In a freewheeling interview with a local radio host, Perry explained that the nation's recent fascination with social issues like gay marriage and religious freedom will ultimately be resolved in the U.S. Supreme Court.

That, he said, puts added emphasis on the 2016 presidential race.

"Rick Perry will decide on a White House run in 30 days, telling South Carolinians that 'it's not that difficult' to secure the US-Mexico border"

Then why does the Texas border leak like a sieve, Governor?

Divide up the RINO vote.

I certainly won't vote for that liberal. In fact, I'm glad he's not elected to any government job right now.

No, Rick.

Just no.

If you are a registered Republican, just go ahead and submit your name. Seems like we are all going to run.

He’s a LaRaza backer that stalled attempts at border fencing and enforcement. And those are his best attributes. His stance on parental rights are even better!

Ok, someone enlighten me. People are jumping in everywhere who have to know they have no chance whatsoever to actually win.
There must be some twist in campaign law where they keep all the money they raise if they drop out. I don’t know precisely what it is, but there is a scam going on. I feel it in my bones.

“If you are a registered Republican,”

First thing that needs to be corrected.

They (GOP)are diluting the pool intentionally to extract maximum chaos and inflict maximum damage to frag(ment) the conservative vote. The target of course is Cruz.

Was an AlGore democrat who saw the change in the political winds and became a repub at the perfect moment. Don’t ever trust him 100%
