Like Dubya Bush.....Perry likes being a dictator....and Bush woke us up....how horrible that was for our nation....even the entire world.
No doubt. Perry is just another texas big oil puppet to the corporations like Bush. He would no doubt "finish the job" that Bush and the republicans started in completely destroying the nation.

Wow....I so AGREE!

But the current sitting Dem in the WH is as bad...really worse.

Why are so many....so naive? Texas doesn't hire 'good boys' to run their BIG OIL/FOOTBALL state. Anyone who is or has been a Guvner of Texas....is not a prospect....he's a suspect.

And they LIE (see Dubya Bush saying he didn't know Iraq didn't have WMD's....and took out his personal war with Saddam...and had thousands of Iraqi's and American soldiers brutally killed in the process) ....they lie with a smile on their face. No, we sure don't want another Texan in our 'WH'....

I honestly believe the voters will REALIZE that shortly.

Ron Paul is closer to Romney's numbers than Romney is to Perry's numbers so Romney also has to watch out for who is nipping at his heels.

The rest of the candidates are here (second chart down on page):

Obviously those people polled haven't done their due diligence researching Perry yet. As soon as they do I think those numbers will QUICKLY deflate.

At this time the loons are tossing darts with their hate for anyone who can can their hero Obama.

Watch them closely run to the next candidate who enters.

There is not enough of them left in the looney bin party to make a difference so they have to resort to their hate and attack modes all over again.

For example, why don't you let us know who you would prefer? If it's Obama, then it's completely understandable that you'd be afraid. If it's Ron Paul, then you probably shouldn't fear Perry. They are not far apart on several important issues -- especially domestic policy ones.
Ron Paul and Rick Perry are almost opposites. Ron Paul is for a small government while Perry is for big intrusive government. Forced injections and building the NAFTA highway like Rick Perry wants is not small government. People focus on what a candidate says instead of looking at the policies he implements.

No doubt there would be better people to actually do the job of president. Probably tens of thousands of them, actually. They are pretty much a dime a dozen.

Unfortunately, you've got to be an excellent politician and candidate FIRST to even get a crack at the job. And most of the time, well connected and lucky too. Basically, the people that seem to frighten you the most. Sorry it's like that, but they can't all be "quality guys"... hope you find your perfect candidate someday. Maybe you can vote "None of the above"?

Rick Perry Is an illegal alien pandering, open border advocate, Bilderberg globalist. Something we have already had and hated. Something that has got us in the mess we are in now.

NO Thank You!


Ron Paul is the real deal
Perry is another Neocon.
