I think he's absolutely electable... I'd be just as scared.
Plus, let's be real here... There would probably be very little difference between Perry and whoever replaced him as Texas Governor.
And he wouldn't dodge the debate. He would dodge every question in the debate and flash that nice Southern folksy smile that says, "This is the kind of liberal fancy-talk that got America in the situation we're in today. I don't talk, I git 'er done."
Intellectualism and rationality have never been less valuable than they are today, and Barack Obama has a lot to do with that.
David Dewhurst?
Maybe not a drastic difference, but there's a little difference there.
I could careless if you post here or not. If Barry wins, this site will need down to earth honest people like myself more than ever, I wouldn't dare turn my back them.
With that said Barry is going to lose, son. It's already been written. Barry is not the man.
You made similar statements about the Wisconsin recalls.
You need to start considering supporting a movement that would tell Barry not to run in 2012. Since you're stuck on democrat.
Probably would be the same agenda as the Perry agenda, just delivered in a significantly less dewshy manner.
a down to earth sucking ..jack..is that what you are?
Gotta disagree. I give Perry a better shot at Obama than anyone else the republicans could put on the ticket. Jobs are going to be the big ticket issue in 2012. Job growth in Texas is blowing away the rest of the nation and Rick Perry gets to take credit for it. (No, he's not responsible for it, but welcome to politics.) There's some pretty high unemployment rates in key swing states.
Not saying Perry would win, but he could.
I can't disagree that he would have a great shot at least to win the Republican ticket.
Why do you think he hasn't been a prominent name in the mix?
Yer a cynical bas .
Perry could absolutely get elected by this stupid country. So could Palin.

Cain Believes In The Tax Fairy: ‘The American People Have Been Lied To’ About Tax Cuts ‘Costing Money’
Unfortunately, the American people have been lied to about tax rates costing money. If you look at the decade of the ’60s, when JFK was able to get some dramatic cuts, tax revenues increased over 50 percent. When Reagan did it in the decade of the ’80s, tax revenues increased over 50 percent.

Sorry, I can't vote in the primaries. I have never been registered as a republican.
Please oh please, vote for her in the Republican primaries. I know I will.
LOL...The chick is Mic e Bachmann, and she's like 5'1".
EDIT: Apparently she's also an ID subscriber.

I don't know how tall she is. Just being funny with that one. Almost used blue font, but didn't.
Hey...
Is people like Carter and Obama can get elected, it just about proves anyone can!
How many times have I said it averages 18.3%?Cain Believes In The Tax Fairy: ‘The American People Have Been Lied To’ About Tax Cuts ‘Costing Money’

I think if we just tried for 18.3%, it would probably be less volatile.
average is bull idea.
Tax revenues vary with the economy, and above all tax policies.
Yet except for this recent repression, revenues stayed very close to, and averaged 18.3% of GDP, for decades.
When it comes to politics, always.Yer a cynical bas .
I think he's content to stay on the sidelines until the last minute. Saves his campaign some money. Allows him to skip some debates (not his strong suit) without getting called on it. Plus Perry's campaign strategy is all about mudslinging, so by letting the republican field thin itself out first he's got fewer targets to have to go after.
Bachmann's Campaign Guru in January: She's Not a "Serious Player"
"We have checked her 13 times, and [found] seven of her claims to be false and six have been found to be ridiculously false."

She's a obscene, extreme liar, a prime Repug qualification.
This guy seems to agree and thinks Perry will throw his hat in soon:

The more I think about it, the more I think Perry would give the Republicans the best shot at beating Obama. It would/will definitely be fun to watch.
the debate summary...
OOOOOH, yet another solid prediction about an election more than a year away.
One would think people would stop doing that, especially after whottt so sadly flamed out on his prediction.
Two words.
Group.
Think.
Republicans being mad means little, unless the election, such a mid-term, is a poorly attended one.
What you are missing in your calculuus is how far to the right the party has steered, making moderates more than a little uncomfortable.
FWIW
Bachmann's politifact fack-checking scorecard:
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-me...hele-bachmann/We've been fact-checking Bachmann since 2009. We've rated 23 statements on the Truth-O-Meter. Here's how the tally breaks down:
True 1
Mostly True 0
Half True 2
Barely True 4
False 9
Pants on Fire 7
You can't have that kind of record and credibly run, because those "pants on fire" moments *will* come back to haunt you, when the people who don't pay much attention get spoon fed those moments by your opponent.
