THIS is who Rick Perry is! This is from a friend of mine on FB.....
(Sheila Drazic) "This is just how Rick Perry is. After Hurricane Ike devastated my community, he came here to survey the damage. He did not just walk through here surrounded by security and news cameras and then make a speech. That's not Perry. He showed up in jeans and a work shirt, no cameras, no press conference..., and he walked among all o...f us who had been hit. A hug, a pat on the shoulder, a listening ear, and an encouraging word. He saw to it that emergency shelters were being set up and food and water were available to everyone. When Obama/FEMA refused to help us, Governor Perry set up state funding to help us rebuild our homes and our lives. My home is at 'ground zero' where Ike came ashore. We all took tremendous damage. FEMA sent me a check two months later for $600 dollars. Governor Perry set up the Recovery Fund to help us all rebuild. That is what a true leader and a true Christian does. That's my Governor!"
Ike came ashore in Ron Paul's congressional district, causing catastrophic damage and loss of lives. Not only did Mr Paul not come home to survey the damage, he sat safely up in Washington and voted NOT to send federal disaster relief to the people affected by the storm. That's how much regard Paul has for the people who voted him into office 12 times!
Polling average on November 20, 2007: Giuliani 27.8%, Thompson 14.8%, Romney 13.4%, McCain 12.8%, Huckabee 8.8%, Paul 4.6%. Kind of puts the polls in perspective - the 2 candidates who fought for the nomination were in 4th and 5th place at exactly this same time in the 2008 election. McCain was down by 15% at this point last election and was in 4th place and won. Rick Perry is just 14% down and in 4th but he has more money than any others other than Romney. Don't write him off yet.
Not even close. One on one Perry would destroy Obama. And he is past the debate issues. Most people say he won the last debate. So Republicans throw him out for a few poor debates coming out of the gate? Sounds like 4 more years of Obama if that is how they think.
Obviously LJ is better at cartoons than reading. Did you even read the post? And you make fun of the way he talks but he has created over 1 million jobs, what have you done for this country other than kill other people's brain cells?
