Easy answer.
Perry is chosen by god, Obama is the anti-christ.

40% of all jobs created in Texas - a GREAT bludgeon.
Didn't seem to bother you that 700,000 jobs a month were lost near the end of Bush's second term.

In Texas, Perry Outshines Obama - Investors.com



As opposed to the nation losing 2.4 million jobs since Jan 2009.



JOBS will be THE issue for 2012 and Perry has more than a leg up on obama on that front.

Yeah, look at this;

If Perry gets in, what a great contrast he will have to tout - HIS success compared to obama's FAILURES.
I'm confused. Didn't you try to convince us after the stimulus passed that it isn't government's job to create jobs? Oh, well, par for the course when there is an "R" after someone's name.


I have to say, I am looking forward to more public airing of these Perry successes:

PolitiFact Texas | Texas has the 43rd best graduation rate in the United States

Texas has highest teen birth rate in the country | KETK

Texas' Future Threatened By Poverty, Staggering Dropout Rates

Child Poverty Hits 25 Percent In Texas, But Gov. Perry Still Proposing Deep Cuts To Child Services | ThinkProgress

What we have here is a swaggering Bush on steroids who panders to secessionists and corporations at the expense of the working guy backed by religious zealots. All Perry needs is to put Palin on the ticket (because we now how well that worked out for McCain) and it's a slam dunk.

I'm pulling for Bachmann, but I don't think he's that stupid. He might go for a moderate.

Is it any business of government whether someone with a job can afford a roof over their head?

Wrong, because a real job recovery would make housing UNaffordable for millions of low-wage workers.
