But, yes, I do like Gov. Perry.


And now that I see the GOP Establishment is fighting against him, I am for him more!

Re: Why I'm Against Perry

Talk, talk, talk about it .. WELL, Gov. Perry is the only one who has done it . .

TORT REFORM :
Passed Voter ID
Ban on sanctuary cities:
Banned DL to illegals
Got conservative judges elected
His state created 47% of the entire nation’s jobs :
Cut taxes 65 times
5th lowest taxed state
Passed special Tax Relief for Veterans
Right to work state :
De-funded Planned parenthood .
3 term Gov of 25 MILLION citizens .. state with 2nd largest economy !..
3 balanced budgets :
Lowered corporate taxes :
Increased air quality without job killing regulations :
Stood with Israel :
Seven years in a row, cited as the business friendliest state.
The state grew during tough times, during good times:

Gov. Jindal : “Rick has his track record. Cut taxes 65 times, $14 billion in the state of Texas. One of the five lowest taxed states according to the tax foundation. One of the best states when it comes to regulatory environment. The reality is seven years in a row, khost magazine says it's the business friendliest state. You've got a state where he can show he has done during tough times, during good times, to bring in jobs. First Governor in Texas history to cut general government spending since world war II."

Re: Why I'm Against Perry

Awesome article in the Wall Street Journal - TEXAS ROCKS!!!

NOVEMBER 3, 2011

The Perry Paradox

Rick Perry says Texas is the most successful state in America. He's right. Texan economic output exceeds Mexico's and Australia's and rivals India's. Rick Perry has been governor of Texas for nearly 11 years.

And so Perry's Paradox: Rick Perry is a success because he nominally presides over an American tiger state, a genuine free-market economy that doesn't much need—or want—his tender loving care. If the job before us is unwinding an unimaginably vast, smothering national government, is Lone Star Gov. Rick Perry the man for that job?

This much is obvious: Texas, not California, better be the American future. Somewhere inside of him, Rick Perry of Texas understands this distinction. He should stick to explaining what he knows. Let voters figure out if he can explain it to Washington.

Just wanted to post the full speech so that anyone who cares to listen to the whole thing can see that it is a lighthearted crowed. Perry had a great repoire with them and the crowd, by their responses, thoroughly enjoyed his relaxed and funny manner. I enjoyed seeing another side of him.

Awesome! Good for them!

Granite State supporters say Gov. Perry was stone-cold sober

An incensed group of New Hampshire GOP activists are blasting accusations that Texas Gov. Rick Perry was drunk during a high-profile Granite State speech last Friday and plan to hold a rally in Manchester tomorrow afternoon to discredit the story.

But Horne, who attended the speech with roughly 450 other people, said the video is deceptive.

“He had the crowd eating out of his hand,” she said. “I am not endorsing him as a candidate, but the idea that someone is trying to frame this as him being under the influence or something is bad for American voters and it’s bad for the (primary) process.”

Now that is our governor, I look forward to this confidence and coherence in the next debate. Where was he in the former debates? I don't know, but sometimes it takes a while for a person to find their footing in a new context.
