I took a break from editing “Uprising” to catch some news that Mark at Armed American Radio suggested I check out. Texas Governor Rick Perry spoke at CPAC this weekend. Did you catch this? Listen to this. His voice sounds like GW Bush, which is fine… I don’t mind the Texas Drawl. But that’s not what I’m hearing. If you listen to what he says, I’m hearing Reagan. I’m hearing a Solid Conservative. I’m hearing the next President of the United States.
There are going to be those that are going to hate on him simply because he sounds like Bush because he’s a Texan. But I think that’s a good thing. I’ll take a Texas Governor over a Chicago Thug any day of the week. I still don’t know what a Community Organizer is… but do know what a Governor is. Governor means executive experience. Community Organizer sounds like bullshit to me.
Here’s what we know about Rick Perry. He’s Conservative. He’s Pro-Gun. He’s the guy that shot the coyote while he was jogging with his Concealed Handgun. Now Rick hasn’t announced it yet, but Mark and I both agree – Rick Perry is our Top Pick.
(Okay, no more blogging – I gotta get Uprising edited and to the Publisher!)
Look for a lot of hit pieces coming out on Perry. He is not perfect and he’s made some blunders, but he’s made the right enemies. The Bush machine hates his guts,
because he didn’t step out of the way when they decided it was Kay Baily Hutchinson’s turn to be governor, and his campaign spanked Carl Rove’s people hard.
A number of faux conservative trolls are already bad mouthing him as not being a real Conservative,and the usual RINO’s are starting to take shots. If Rep. Pete Sessions and Rep. Sam Johnson endorses him then as far I’m concerned he is good to go. They are conservative as it gets in Texas.
I very much heard Reagan in Fred Thompson. Let’s hope Perry wants in more that Thompson did.
I agree.
POTUS: Rick Perry – HELL YEAH!!!
VP: David Petreaus, Please
I agree. And the more like Reagan, the better for me.
OK, I’m a Texan, but Perry is not without warts hisownself. Until a year or two ago he was all about some immigration issues I am not fond of, and he wanted to use Imminent Domain to take a bunch of land to run a big highway across the state to facilitate the influx of Mexican trucks. I think he should put Marines along that river down south and let them shoot anybody coming north. None of those people are my friends and they ain’t bringing anything up here I want in my house.
He not only sounds like W, but Drudge had a tight face shot of him a few days ago, I swear he looks a whole lot like Bush up close. Now, I lurve me some W, but is the country going to vote for another Texas Governor? I guess we can only hope so.
Still, I’ll take him over Obamalamadingdong, any day. He did smite that coyote, fo sho.
Do a Google search for “Trans-Texas Corridor” which was Perry’s baby, and which he finagled through the Texas legislature and past the citizens of Texas; and only finally dropped after the Feds put the kibosh to it.
Perry is not perfect as a conservative…but no one is perfect. But on that subject, I take my advice from General George S. Patton, Jr.: “A good plan now is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.” We won’t HAVE a tomorrow with a 2nd Obama term – we are THAT close to going out as not merely a power, but as a nation. We need someone good, someone with a record of leadership, responsibility and results – and Perry has that, even with the mistakes he’s made. He’s not my first choice, but he’s the best out there who could win both the primaries and the general election.
Oh, and John Bolton for Secretary of State.
I must admit that I have my issues with a few things Perry has done during his terms as my state’s governor, such as imminent domain through the TransTexas Corridor abortion and immigration, I think he’s a decent pick. He’s been more than fair to gun rights and at least decent to personal freedoms. He’s not the best, but compared to others that the GOP has been pushing, I’ll take my chances with Perry.
I like that, “He’s a decent prick.”
That’s good stuff right there.
I’ll vote for him, he’s a decent prick 😉
Ooops, my dumbass gene overrode my reading gene, I guess I read what I wanted to see.
Yer right on though, James.
I’ll have to read up on the guy. Don’t know much about him and still don’t.
The numero uno national security issue facing the USA right now is the debt.
Until I hear an acceptable plan of attack for tackling that, he’s not my guy.
That being said, there is no candidate on this planet that will stop the economic collapse that is going to hit us.
EU will go down the shitter before we do, but we will be right behind them. Pay no attention to that Euro over valuation to our dollar. They are inflating that monitary abortion with more debt (worse than us with the dollar for the moment) to give the perception it is worth more than the dollar. It’s not worth shit and neither is our dollar.
It’s only a matter of time now and the next President will be presiding over the Titanic. It will be chaos and austerity will be visiting your front door very soon…maybe even befor this Presidency is over.
Well, I note he has all the requirements I have for a president. BUT he was also a member of the Bilderberg Group. “http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilderberg_Group”
We do not need another, lying RINO traitor in the White House, one worthless Bush was way too many and Perry would be number three.
