WILL RICK PERRY PLEASE STAND UP FOR AMERICA???
Other than the photo with Moi.. This is my favorite of Rick Perry
Voters would get a skilled politician with the looks of a movie star or TV personality, the charm of a Texas gentleman a Southern preacher's oratory with a cowboy's swagger, matched by a disarming candor and sense of humor. The former cotton farmer from the village of Paint Creek in West Texas has never lost an election in nearly three decades as a politician.
What they wouldn't get is a candidate whose politics are positioned to unite a Republican electorate that stretches from moderate pro-business fiscal conservatives to evangelical social conservatives, with the tea party falling somewhere along the spectrum.
"Texans, are bigger than life about everything they take on. Governor Perry is no exception.
Being from Texas isn't a plus with everyone and he would need to step out of what is perceived by some to be President George W. Bush's shadow.
Perry is his own man and comfortable with who is, you don't hear Republicans calling Social Security a disease but Perry has.
In his book published last year "He branded Social Security and other New Deal programs "the second big step in the step to socialism. The "first step" was a national income tax, which he has said stands alongside the direct election of U.S. senators as a major mistake among the amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
Perry's supported laws that require a photo ID in order to vote, a sonogram before a woman had an abortion and enforcement of federal immigration laws by local police.
His book "Fed Up: Our Fight to Save America From Washington," let's you know in no uncertain terms that it was a state's rights treatise that railed against the federal government. Perry a converted Republican may be too conservative to run for national office. be ###
P.S. I'm not prejudice about my fellow Texan..
Our forefathers pledged their lives, their fortunes and their scared honor to give us a Republic with Liberty and Freedom and Benjamin Franklin upon leaving the signing of the Constitution said "we have given you a Republic, if you can keep it." Can we keep it? Are we going to stand by and let the government we elected take away our Freedom and Liberties? FREEDOM MUST BE DEFENDED, NOW IS THE TIME and WE ARE THAT GENERATION!!! Semper Fi
