Honestly, he's picked the right target here. Benny and Timmy are part of the team which sank Obama and the economy.

I personally think QE has been a failure as it has done little to revive the economy.

Just more evidence he's an opportunist, preaching the flavor of the month. All hat no cattle as they say in Texas.

Perry = Obama?

Actually your poll is flawed, because it does not give one important choice:
Perry is preaching the flavor of the month as an opportunist.
Ron Paul has been saying this stuff for a long time.
I am sorry but Rabble Rousing or whatever that choice you have as #3 is not clear enough.

You ought to redo the poll.

perry has been out of character in the past few days, saying stuff that actually makes sense.

i don't expect this trend to last. In fact you can see it coming apart at the seams, he says, " Printing more money to play politics at this particular time..," which makes little sense to me. it's not like printing money is popular among the public; it's viewed as necessary by the Fed to keep us from slipping into the deflationary spiral that Congress is trying to send us into. Perry can be critical all he wants, but does he have a better plan?

Quote:
Rep. Ron Paul, a fellow Texan running for president, has made bashing the Fed a signature of his career and even wrote a book about it in 2009: "End the Fed." But Paul is not seen as likely to get the GOP nomination, while Perry is seen as a front-runner with former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota.
Note the passive language. The author doesn't have the balls to say, " I don't think Paul is likely to get the GOP nomination," he hides behind these weasel words, "Paul is not seen as likely..." Not seen by whom?

Dude, you said "flavor of the month" too? Damn, what are the odds?!

How can a person who wanted to secede from the union because the President is black call someone else treasonous.

Ron Paul will not win the nomination, never. He's a genius candidate, but lacks charisma and bull$h!t rhetoric which appeals to the masses. Geniuses don't win elections. They only write books

How can Perry be an opportunist?? He just announced his nomination and he stepped on to the right bandwagon.

The opportunist is Michelle Bachmann.

I don't think that is true.

And Texas "can" and "is free to" secede, if I can recall Texans saying that. It's not like he asked for something unwritten, though secession is just crazy talk.
