Besides, I don't think we're ready for another semi-literate governor from Texas.
Fair or unfair (mostly unfair), this typecast is something else Perry will have to work to overcome. Perry is not GWB, and in fact, the pair squabbled often when GWB was governor here. There's been some talk Perry won't win the GOP nomination because former Bushies (aka Rove) will mobilize to make sure it doesn't happen.
Perry is far more fiscally conservative than Bush is, and was openly critical of Bush's fiscal policy when Bush was in the White House.
There are hundreds of reasons Perry shouldn't be president but "he's just another governor from Texas" isn't one of them. In fact, it's borderline offensive for people to say that. It would be like saying, "Obama's been such a disaster, we don't need to elect another black guy."
everybody wants the most they can possibly get
for the least they could possibly do
I honestly don't know any Dems like that, including me.
There's about 100 of them on this board. Mingle...
Do you honestly not read the way Christians are persecuted on this board by gays and non-believers?
If i used similar rhetoric to describe the gays on here, I'd be banned fatser than Kat can say Yes We Can- same for Muslim rhetoric.
Christians are consistently persecuted here- and peace lovin', tolerance preachin' self-described hippies on this board turn a blind eye. All day everyday.
Stand up for tolerance of all people, PJ fans, or else you're just a damn hypocrite.
If I were on the President's team (which I have been in the past), this is what I would focus on. The far left is upset with him, the far right is upset with him...so he must be doing something right that the average American voter agrees with. His numbers with independents are right where they should be going into 2012.
Since taking office, the economy has grown. Unemployment is still at 9%, but that's a tough number to bring down. The stimulus has proven to create jobs and improve the country's crumbling infrastructure.
All the President has to do is run a down the middle campaign and he will win. When you're running against a fractured party that no one can center around...the work is being done for you. Run down the middle and the President will get another 4 years.

I'm gonna guess, Clinton, and Secretary of State.
His numbers ARE down with independents. I didn't say that he had high numbers, I said that they were good for 2012. IF the Republicans get their shit together and can fully support one candidate (which will not happen), at that point Obama should be "shitting in his pants" about independents. If the I's have a choice between a down the middle incumbent and a radical right (or left)...they play it safe and go with the incumbent.
I don't have to explain to you how far back I go with the President.

Wow. That was quite a dramatic, yet comical rant.
Christians get a bad rap because of what some Christians do in the name of Christianity. They are deserving of getting asses put into place when they, for example, try to legislate their beliefs, based upon their religion, into the public domain.
No one... even those whom to claim to persecute you... say you cannot pray or say 'Merry Christmas'. We are saying, you cannot force me to follow your lead in YOUR prayer, nor can you force me to say 'Merry Christmas' to you. you know who is really persecuted? The poor black guy in the inner city that you and people who share your outlook will lump into lazy, welfare riding criminal gang members. Talk to that guy about persecution in America.
...
If you really ARE a Christian... You'd know these words:
“And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.
“Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
...
The Irony I see with persons such as yourself... if you were to meet Jesus... the Liberal, poor people loving, turning the other cheek to terrorists Jesus... you would probably lump him in with me... and all of the other people you despise.
