He has my vote!

I am a Rick Perry fan. He would have been a better version of "W"

[w5pv]

Rick Perry is a good man but I think he could have done better on some state issues.I will give him credit for some of the gun laws that were passed,created a lot of jobs.we have enjoyed a better economy for the last 12 years than most states.

[GRUMPA]

He has my vote!

He doesn't in my book until he can produce a target that he shot at, at 100yds. Don't know about you but anyone can hold a rifle, what they can do with it is another matter.

A coyote trumps a target any day in my books.lol

Capped a vicious dog/coyote with his CCW. Very hero/man-like when he needed to take action.

The fact that he had something with him to cap it with, puts him ahead of most of the pack in my eyes.
How well he shoots, means nothing to me, how he believes in my rights does.

No chit!! :coffeecom

Rick

[williamwaco]

Nobody is perfect.

I will vote for him!

If he had been President since 2008, We would not be in a recession.

[300savage]

just a gut hunch that he can shoot well enough.

[starnbar]

I am with you on that mac

You're not setting the bar very high.

[TXGunNut]

Yes, he is a good guy. Wish he'd done better in his presidential bid but he just doesn't think well enough on his feet, especially when worn down a bit on the campaign trail. I don't think he's running for governor this time around, coin toss whether he'll run for the White House again. He's been good for Texas, good for Texas business. He's from a business background so he can walk the walk, not just talk the talk.

[oldgeezershooter]

And, he doesn't have his finger on the trigger!

I think the governor has proven what he can do with a firearm when it matters.

In the last 25 years, which POTUS did the best job? Who was honorable and respected the office? Wore a suit, and showed up early every day. Had a Harvard MBA. Do you think you could get through the Harvard MBA program? I see some who say his daddy got him in, but his daddy did not take his examinations. I'm not a big "W" fan in terms of policy, but he is a good, decent, honorable man. I love it when people ridicule "W" for having an inferior intellect, when they have a marginal intellect and could never make it though a single semester at the Harvard MBA program, which is rigorous to say the least. For the record, this is not directed at anyone in particular, just asking questions.

AND - every time stronger add-ons to our CHL(CCW) Bill have came across his desk over the years, He signs them!

Perry is Very Pro - Gun. I could care less if can hit a coke can at 100 yds (but I bet you an RC Cola and a Moon Pie he can hit quarter).

Folks that believe "W" was an idiot are folks that drank up the main stream media's cool ade propaganda. It's exactly what they want you to believe so that your cool ade drenched brain will vote for the socialist. Seems to work . . . Look at what we have now.

He was after all smart enough to beat the socialists. TWICE! He must have done something right, our current socialist in chief is STILL blaming him.

[oldred]

I had high hopes for Perry when he announced his candidacy the first time and I certainly would have voted for him (still would!) but following his campaign was just plain painful, sadly with that performance he has all but ruined any future chance. Maybe it was fatigue or just that he had something more pressing on his mind but it is what it is and folks will not forget.

[crabo]

When you look at Perry and Bush,and you look at what a lot of other states have, I am very thankful for the leadership we have have.

It is easy to be critical because someone doesn't do everything you think they should, but I have nothing but respect for these men. (even if they don't meet the approval from down under)

That comment insults Mr. Bush and those Americans who choose to support him.

I promise not to badmouth your leaders ... ever.
But, if you continue to badmouth mine in that particularly insulting style, I will begin to badmouth you.

Got it?

[felix]

Anybody who reinforces and/or entertains the one world government is NOT a patriot American in spirit. That includes anybody who has outside backing to run for pres. It is that simple. Look at the credentials of those in the limelight before a personal selection. ... felix

[olereb]

I was going to vote for Perry last time and I would be happy to the next time also if he decided to run. I do think he had a bad campaign last time and it did hurt him however I don't think it made him look so bad that he has no chance again. For most people he is just known as the GOV of Texas and not many people these days follow politics enough to even remember his poor performances in the debates last go around. If he does want to run again though he better be practicing debating and having good answers for any questions that are going to come up.

[gbrown]

I followed Rick Perry's campaign for President, and as some have said, it didn't turn out well. JeffinNZ's comment is based on what the media has turned out. Most people outside of Texas who had not seen George W. Bush's performance here could readily be mislead by the media. That's my point--the debates are media produced performances where everyone is praying for a mistake on someone' part. Both Rick Perry and George W. Bush demonstrated very competent and strong leadership in Texas government. George W. Bush demonstrated it at the national level. In both cases, the media has tried very strongly to "hype" misquotes and errors in order to ridicule them. Do you notice that it doesn't happen that often with the present admin? The media just sort of gloss over it and start talking about something else. Maybe a little predjudice there? Ya think.

[jmort]

Correct, the media covers for hussien. 57 states, etc. He is a gaffe-machine, but liberals/media will never cover it and pull their heads out. Breathalyzers as opposed to ventilators for sick children, "Corpse-men" for corpsmen....Srtammering, yammering, unable speak extemporaneously about anything without a teleprompter.

If you want the government to give you more debt, back Rick Perry. For the state of Texas he's right in there with CA and IL.

http://www.usdebtclock.org/state-debt-clocks/state-of-texas-debt-clock.html

He's adding debt to the people in Texas at about the same rate as Obama is at the national level. Maybe even faster. Looks like what I said about him increasing the debt back in 2012 was correct.

About all we'll get if he is elected, is someone different to be mad at.

I would probably like him as a person if I met him, but I don't like what he has done for Texas. The debt clock does not show the state assets(toll roads and SB 1048 especially) he sold off in order to spend the money in his own term.

[starmac]

How does Texas dept versus gpw compare to The U.S. debt and gpw., Debt is not always bad if the income is there to pay it back. I don't know how Texas is, but the U.S. soon will not be able to keep up with the interest.
