2. What a surprise!
This being said, I am afraid he will be no Fred Thompson of comic relief memory.

11. Hate to say it
But he may be our next president. The American people elected George W Bush twice. Rick Perry is George W Bush II.

12. I do believe Perry will win the nomination...
I also think he is no Shrub, he's far worse.

If our economic environment is such that Rick Perry manages to become President, he would almost certainly bring in a ton of baggers with him to the House and probably recapture the Senate as well.

We would be well and truly f***ed.

14. he makes moron* look like a regular genius.
I had friend who used to work as lobbyists in the Capital on both sides of the isle. They both would say time and again, "perry is probably one of the most stupid people in the world".

if cement head perry gets selected, he will be nothing more than the empty shirt puppet for the corporations he has always been.
