It is if you are not a far right wing Christian fundamentalist.

Well that I'm certainly not but it's been widely known for years that GW Bush was not a conservative, I'm just glad you finally agree with that fact.

Is that what is being said on Obama's DEBT End Bus Tour? A tea party congressman caused our credit rating to go down? I think not. The only plan that met the criteria for keeping our rating was Cut Cap and Balance. The problem was in not standing firm with that plan.

One thing that would concern me with Rick Perry is, if true, how could a potential presidential candidate have interest in the state they govern in seceding from the United States. Thats makes a candidate not valid in that a president should have the most pride etc. for their country. Thats not someone who as governor had interest/ would seceded from the United States.

We don't need a third George Bush. I don't think the democrats will have to work too hard to make him look like George W Bush. Having a candidate that reminds you of George Bush will be the worst nightmare for the GOP. Perry had nothing to do with job growth in Texas. Much of the growth was in the oil industry and government jobs. Ironically Rick Perry is suppose to be against big government. If he becomes president, look out for high gas prices and a new war in the middle east to protect the oil industry and special interests. Basically a rerun of the last decade.
I was watching TV the other day and thought the exact same thing. He is exactly like Bush minus the pedigree.

Because the Demicans are running the show so well... (country in worst shape since the Great Depression)

Basically, because of ignorant people we are screwed either way
