Is the tea party an actual party now? Or something? I have not kept up with them for a long time.Last edited by CJ; 05-18-2011, 02:20 PM."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

He put the Castle doctrine into law, allowed citizens to keep weapons in their vehicle regardless of company policy, as well as many other bills increasing our rights as gun owners. That's one thing I wouldn't complain about.

Rush sure keeps talking up Perry. He's a pompous ass no doubt but at least he loves Texas and believes in letting the states run themselves. He's a christian that loves guns and thinks the global warming crowd is stupid. He's pro life and anti gay marriage.
The trans-Texas corridor thing pissed off a lot of people but I like the idea, just not the toll road aspect of it. Then there is that HPV fiasco he pushed for. Other than those two deals I can't think of too many things he's pissed me off about.
He's in a great position to bash Obama over not caring about Texas regarding the wildfires and about border security. He's also the most tenured governor in the nation, over one of the largest states. You can't argue with his experience. He's also a veteran (USAF Captain) and has ran a profitable business in his lifetime.
I'd also absolutely love to see him appoint Greg Abbott as the US Attorney General. Hell I'd love to see Abbott run for president but he wouldn't get enough support.

Originally posted by Slowhand View PostIt's great and all that the right can find things they like about Perry, but there's not a moderate in this country that would vote for Perry and that's where this election is going to be won, yet again.
Then he can talk about how he'd finally start improving border security instead of making jokes about it. If fuel price are still through the roof during the election (historically they aren't) he'll be in a perfect position to talk about domestic oil production, an industry that Obama has pretty much choked the life out of. He can also talk about how he works with both sides of he aisle instead of alienating people with differing opinions. Until the republicans took the house Obama didn't even aknowledge they existed.
