Rick Perry will be our President in 2013

If you have seen, I have not jumped on the band wagon of any of the candidates yet. Huckabee was my choice but after he decided not to run, I haven't found a strong candidate to back. Romney has the best chance to beat Obama but is not my first choice. I like Bachman but I am not sure that she can beat Obama. Cain can't win. Paul is becoming a loon. The other's are also ran's that will be out after NH.

So even though he has not officially jumped in the race yet as he is a very smart man and looking at every posibility first, I know he will jump in and I think will become the front runner after the next debate if not sooner. I have done a lot of research on him and of course he is not perfect as no candidate will be but he is by far our best chance to turn this nation around. And he is one of the most successfu Governors in a very long time.

He grew up on a ranch. He was a captain in the Air Force. is married to a nurse who has spearheaded a number of health-related initiatives such as the Anita Thigpen Perry Endowment at the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio, which focuses on nutrition, cardiovascular disease, health education, and early childhood programming.

Governor Perry has overseen job growth in Texas that sits at 47% of all jobs created in the entirety of the United States -- just during the two and half years Obama's been in office

He is NOT a Lawyer.

In 1984, Perry was elected to the Texas House of Representatives as a Democrat from a district that included his home county of Haskell. He served on the House Appropriations and Calendars committees during his three two-year terms in office.

In 1989, The Dallas Morning News named him one of the most effective legislators in the 71st Legislature. That same year, Perry announced that he was joining the Republican Party.

He served as Agriculture Commissioner for 8 years.

Elected Lieutenant Governor of Texas in 1998, he assumed office as governor in December 2000 when Governor George W. Bush resigned to become President of the United States. Perry was elected to full terms in 2002, 2006 and 2010, an unprecedented feat in Texas political history. With a tenure in office to date of 10 years, & 191 days, Perry is the longest serving current U.S. governor, having succeeded North Dakota Governor John Hoeven who resigned on December 7, 2010 after being elected to the US Senate.

Perry served as Chairman of the Republican Governors Association in 2008 (succeeding Sonny Perdue of Georgia), and in 2011 will once again serve as RGA Chairman.

He has worked hard on health care reform. He signed in Tort reform for his state.

Immigration:
Perry has opposed the creation of the Mexico – United States barrier, which is meant to keep out illegal aliens. Instead of barricading the border completely with a fence, Perry believes that the federal government should fulfill its responsibility to its citizens by securing the borders with "boots on the ground" and technology to improve safety while not harming trade with the state's biggest trading partner, Mexico.

He has traveled to Isreal and recognizes them as our ally.

Environmental issues:
Perry does not believe there is valid scientific proof of anthropogenic global warming. He has said several times that there is no scientific consensus on the issue. In a September 7, 2007, speech to California Republicans, Perry said, "Virtually every day another scientist leaves the global warming bandwagon. ... But you won't read about that in the press because they have already invested in one side of the story.

Repeal of the 16th Amendment:
In Rick Perry's 2010 book Fed Up!, he takes issue with the Federal government's right to collect income tax. Rick considers "The 16th Amendment. If you want to know when Washington really got off the track, the 16th Amendment, giving them the opportunity to take your money with a personal income tax."


And these are just a few of his accomplishments. It makes Obama look like a preschooler even after being President for 2 1/2 years.




There is an article on him and 5 reasons why he will win, written by the guy who predicted Obama over McCain in 06, two years before hte election.

1. Perry Has Created More Jobs Than Obama

Of all the issues that will face the nation in 2012, the one that weighs even now most on the minds of those around household dinner tables is where they will find the next month's paycheck.

In my book I detail the deterioration and the inexplicable refusal of solutions that will work by the Obama administration.

President Obama was hired by the America people to make the economy better, to lower unemployment, to see Americans grow their wealth, and at every level he has failed.

It's bad enough that one out of ten workers can't find work. But the most damning statistic is that one out of five families is working as hard as they possibly can, but still can't pay their bills.

Meanwhile over that same time period Governor Perry has overseen job growth in Texas that sits at 47% of all jobs created in the entirety of the United States -- just during the two and half years Obama's been in office.

2. Perry Respects the Importance of Small Business

3. Perry Understands the Issue of State Sovereignty

4. Perry Has Core Convictions

5. He Appeals to All Three Categories of Conservatives

Ronald Wilson Reagan was the first Republican candidate to bring together the conservatives across the economic, social values, and strong military spectrums. Governor Rick Perry has already demonstrated his ability to do the same.

His economic abilities have already been cited. But he also supported the "loser pays" tort-reform bill in Texas. Trivial lawsuits will automatically diminish in the future because those bringing them will have little incentive to try to shake down an organization by merely attempting to wear them out.

He also supported the sonogram law, pleasing pro-family advocates, which allows a legal abortion in Texas only after the mother of the unborn child is able to see her child with her own eyes first.

He also pushed for passage of a voter ID law which will go a long way to insure the integrity of the voting process in future Texas elections.

His shared values of faith, his belief in the decency of America, and his lack of apology for sticking to his beliefs contrast very well with a current president who is best described as "ruthlessly pragmatic."

Obviously there is much ground yet to cover before the elections of 2012. But Governor Rick Perry of Texas appears to this New Yorker to have the moxie, the methods, and material success in office to challenge President Obama on his rather lackluster "credentials" over the last two years--which is all he had to begin with.

I also love the fact that Gov. Perry wasn't even interested in the 2012 presidential race until recently. Maybe it's a good thing not to have people who lust for power live only to achieve it.



I think if Bachman continues to hold her own and doesn't make many more gaffes, then Perry would be wise to choose her as his VP. He will run away with all Republican votes, most Independent votes, and because of his amazing economic record, even many Democrats who are sick of what Obama has done to this country.


So here is my very early prediction. Perry / Bachman 2012

I don't like his secessionist talk. If he hates our nation so much why would we want him to lead it? i think Huntsman is our best choice with Romney and Pawlenty close behind.

But that is all the liberal media saying that. Perry never advocated that. Here is what he said.......

Comments on the possible secession of Texas:

In April 2009, Perry endorsed a resolution supporting state sovereignty, under the argument that such authority is reserved by the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. On April 9, 2009, Perry said, "I believe that our federal government has become oppressive in its size, its intrusion into the lives of our citizens, and its interference with the affairs of our State. That is why I am here today to express my unwavering support for efforts all across our country to reaffirm the States' rights affirmed by the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I believe that returning to the letter and spirit of the U.S. Constitution and its essential 10th Amendment will free our State from undue regulations, and ultimately strengthen our Union."

After a tea party protest held on April 15, 2009, Perry responded to a reporter's question about secession, saying, "Texas is a unique place. When we came into the union in 1845, one of the issues was that we would be able to leave if we decided to do that... My hope is that America and Washington in particular pays attention. We've got a great union. There's absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, who knows what may come of that." In reference to Perry's comments, a spokesperson said that Perry "never advocated seceding". A Time magazine article shed light on the situation, with experts saying that Texas cannot legally secede but may split into five states. Nevertheless, in an op-ed piece distributed on May 17, 2009, Perry stated "I have never advocated for secession and never will."

Huntsman doesn't have the name recognition and blends in and will be blown out in Iowa and NH and drop out along with Pawlenty after SC. Romney has the money to ride it out but I think he will end up third behind Perry and Bachman in Iowa and will barely win in NH where he is putting all his eggs. And then South Carolina will drop him to 3rd or even 4th if Cain is still in it. After that he may realize that he has quite a fight and money may not win it. He will stick it out through Super Tuesday to see if he can win the big ones, New York, and Cali and pick up New Jersey and Conn too. He might which will make him our candidate. It just depends upon how much momentum Bachman and Perry take from each other in the prior races.

Why in early 2007 did he sign an executive order mandating that 11- and 12-year-old girls in Texas be given the vaccine Gardasil?

Perry chose to bypass the legislature and on Feb. 2, 2007, he issued an executive order making Texas the first state in the country requiring all sixth-grade girls to receive the three-shot vaccination series (which cost about $120 per shot). The move generated a fierce public debate. Conservatives slammed Perry for promoting what they saw as an intrusion by the state into private health decisions of parents and their children. Some also complained that the mandate would encourage promiscuity among teenagers.

Many doctors, including Bill Hinchey, the president of the Texas Medical Association at the time, questioned the wisdom of rushing to mandate a drug that had been on the market for less than a year.

Doesn't something like that bother you?

Rick Perry?
Michelle Bachmann?
Sarah Palin?

Oh, god, I HOPE SO!! Any ONE of these moonbats running for president would be a dream come true....

But you probably said the same thing about Reagan being nominated, right? A B movie actor? Carter will win easily.

Back on topic, I read an opinion from one of Perry's closest advisors who believes Perry so hates Washington politics that it is keeping him from running.
So we will see if he is willing to overcome his dislike of Washington enough to actually run.

Again, you are only telling half the truth on this NON issue.

HPV vaccine
On February 2, 2007, Perry issued an executive order mandating that Texas girls receive HPV vaccine that protects against some strains of the human papilloma virus, a cause of cervical cancer. The order provided vaccination free of charge to those who were not covered by insurance. The order included an opt-out provision for parents

And then on May 9, 2007, Perry allowed a bill to go into law that would undo his executive order.

So it only lasted three months, and gave parents and opt out provision. After 27 years in public office that is the best that you can come up with? Remember, Obama was good friends with terrorists, (William Ayers) and had an America hating pastor for years that he went to and and no accomplishments to speak of and still got elected President.

OK, I know you hate when people ask you to actually explain yourself, but please tell me how Rick Perry is a moonbat and why would he be a dream come true for you? Just because he doesn't agree with you? And how is the most successful Governor in the United States a dream for you to run against Obama?

Please God, make them stop.
