I voted for Rick Perry in the 2002 Texas Gubernatorial election.
The liberal media "taggers" will pull every cheap shot the can think of to disparage him- AND SARAH PALIN.
Texas has faired VERY WELL under Governor Perry. He has supported every right to bear arms legislation passed by the Texas Legislature - including unlicensed handgun carry in your vehicle, the "Castle doctrine", and he would have signed the licensed OC bill if it had been acted upon in a timely manner by the Legislature.
He is NOT Ronald Reagan - but he is a bit "Reagan-esque". He has actually served his nation as an Air force C-130 pilot - not as a Marxist "community organizer" He is at his best in the OFFENSE.
I predicted this several months ago - a Rick Perry / Sarah Palin ticket.
If John McCain hadn't had Palin on his ticket he wouldn't have garnered more than 25 % of the 2008 vote. McCain was - and IS - A LOSER.
We have Obama - BECAUSE OF McCAIN.
Sarah Palin could have beaten Obama had SHE been at the TOP of the ticket.
DO NOT underestimate Sarah Palin. She will announce - soon.
