Wow, the Republican field just keeps getting worse. What next? Pat Robertson? Glenn Beck?
A Republican campaign veteran tells us that Texas Governor Rick Perry has decided to run for President, though the official word from Team Perry is still a definite maybe.
Our normally reliable Republican source reports that Mr. Perry has surveyed the field and decided to get in the race later this summer, perhaps around the time of the national prayer meeting that Mr. Perry is hosting on August 6 at a Houston football stadium. Our source also reports that Mr. Perry is aiming to compete in the Iowa Straw Poll, even though it occurs just a week later, on August 13.

Except Perry is actually electable.
Really? Outside of Texas? That's an extremely scary thought.
I think so. He's got good-ol'-boy charisma and Texas isn't the only state that values simple talkin' moralistic southern values. He'll be the perfect opponent to take advantage of the impression people have that Obama is all fancy-liberal-intellectual talk and no action.
Plus, Rick gets to brag about creating jobs. No other candidate out there does.
Anyone can beat Barry. It's getting the repug nod that will be tough.
lol
Somewhere Barry is having a good time with this.
Another fiscal-conservative-in-name-only... worked for Reagan...
Keep telling yourself that. We owe 4 trillion more , 70 percent of the people don't want his healthcare plan that will bankrupt this country for sure, we are in 3 wars now (he was against the two before and thats what got the elected) 9.2 unemployment, repugs destroyed the dems last election everywhere. I lost count of all the lies and and the basic differences he has with the average american and what do you get from the peanut gallery when you talk about barrys chances??? "um, repugs are stupid" Not so stupid they kicked the out of barry and the gang in Nov 2010.
I know barry is having a good time but not about his chances of re-election
In other words, you think people hate him because he's been too much like Bush Jr...
I thought Bush Jr was also done after the first 4 years, but then Kerry happened... weak candidates have a way to hand out elections.
No. Barry is his own man and people hate him for what he has done. What I am saying is that it doesn't matter who runs against barry in 2012. I, 100 percent believe barry has ed up so much it doesn't matter who the repugs roll out there. Anything they bring to the ballot is better than that piece of garbage.
Doesn't matter who the GOP candidate is. None of them can defeat the greatest president in American history who brought us so much hope and change. BHO, mmm mmm mmm.
And what I was pointing out is that the stuff you say people should hate him for is no different than what dubya did in his first term... Obamacare = Medicare Part D. Walked in with 0 wars, had 2 by re-election. Trillions added to the debt in both the wars and unpaid-for tax cuts. Unemployment doubled in his first term, and he wasn't even dealing with a recession like we have now. Plus 2 years into his second term the GOP was destroyed in legislative elections, with the democrats one vote short of super majority IIRC.
And no, I'm not defending/excusing Barry. I did think dubya shouldn't have been re-elected for those reasons too, so I agree he should GTFO. The thing is, who runs against him matters. Much like it mattered when Kerry ran against dubya.
Plus no GOP candidate can claim they killed OBL
None of the legit GOP candidates are as weak as Kerry was. And Bush was only vulnerable because of Iraq but as we all know it's the economy that drives presidential elections.
What was the unemployment rate in '04 El Nono?
It was 3.8% in 2000 when he won the election, peaked at 6.3% in Jul '03... and this was with a balanced budget handed to him, full control of congress and without the recession he handed to Barry.
And I completely agree that the economy is the major point on most elections. This one won't be an exception, and he should be defeated.
As far as the "no legit GOP candidates are as weak as Kerry", well, who are the 'legit GOP candidates'?
2001 called. It wants its reputation back.
o, tech crash?
Sure. I'm not playing that down. I'll leave that to boutons and his 'he knew about it and did nothing. GFY. Ankle Biter'.
IIRC, he did run most of his re-election campaign with the 'can't change leaders now in the middle of war' meme, and that was one of the few elections were the economy took a back-seat (which really tells you how good was it when it was handed to him and how badly he obliterated it in two terms).
People that think I'm excusing Obama are missing the point. I'm not. He should be kicked out. I think most on the left see him too far to the right anyways, but saying he's hated for those points is really looking through GOP-colored glasses.
The problem with this take for Barry is, barry "Blamed Bush" for everything and barry said he would get out of the wars but instead added more troops to one and got involved in one all by his lonesome, seriously all by himself. Didn't bother asking anyone ...... Obamacare stands all by itself. I'm off to Vegas baby, VEGAS!!!
Was it anything like the property crash?
I wouldn't discard him blaming Bush again, tbh. Don't think it's gonna fly though. Have fun jack.
