I can see three strikes right there. Multicultural emphasis (get rid of that crap), raising teacher's salaries (wtf), and solar power. I'm from Iowa so on a per capita basis, came from a place with more "wind power" and know it to be a rotten source of energy unless you live too far out for power lines to get to you, and then you want to subsidize it with solar if feasible (learned that from my own research in engineering school).

But, he is probably as good as we get. Voting, again, for the socialist to get rid of the communist. Fie! At least he is not a minority and has some things going. But just another Bush.

Right now, he is my choice candidate. Although I like Palin and Bachmann, Rick Perry has a better record and experience. But you know, without a shadow of a doubt, the number one talking point of the left will be to compare him to Bush. They will drive this point home ad nauseam.

However, to anyone not a liberal, Bush is looking better and better - when you compare him to Obama.

Hey, I hope the left does drive home the similarity. Actually I think the middle and even some dems liked Bush (and yeah, harken to 'back in the Bush days'). I think they will hurt him comparing him to Bush. It is probably more the more conservative/libertarian who dislike the allusion. And even most of us harken to 'the days'. Let them flaunt their ignorance, I honestly hope they waste their money comparing Perry to Bush! Cheers.

The old school progressive repukics want Romeny, bad. Watch Rove (Bush called him turd blossom)for a reason. No thanks! He (Romeny)is Obummer light.

We hope to get a human like Perry at the least instead of `sort of a goddd (devilcrat') we survive under now. I'd vote for a rose bush over bummer.

Didn't see this mentioned. During the fiscal years for which Rick Perry exercised budgetary authority as Governor of Texas (FY02 through FY10)

• Debt outstanding increased 184.2%, or 20.5% per year

• Per capita debt outstanding increased 140.4%, or 15.6% per year

• Total liabilities increased 60.6%, or 6.7% per year

• Total liabilities per capita increased 35.8%, or 4.0% per year

Bringing this up now because I don't want hear Perry's voters whine and complain that President Perry spent the country into debt like President GW Bush and that he betrayed fiscal conservative principles and destroyed Conservatism and where is Ronald Reagan etc etc and blah blah blah.

"• Faced with a budget deficit in 2010-11, Perry became the first Texas governor since WWII to cut general fund spending
• Also balanced budget in 2003 by cutting spending in a challenging economic environment"

These statements are in conflict.

After eight years as governor Perry is faced with a budget deficit he'll cut in 2011 but balanced the budget 2003?
