Rick Perry

[BP]

My wife had an interesting question last night... if he did run and lost... would he still be our Governor.. or would he have to step down prior to running?

There isn't anything in the constitution that says he has to resign as governor to run for POTUS. He's not a congressman though, he's a governor. He actually has to show up and work or the state will fall apart. Traditionally governors always resign as soon as they are nominated or decide to take the election seriously, as do most other public officials that have real jobs.

fucking right. why bother. i fucking hate both party's sure i could throw my vote away to a independent or something like that but it's not going to matter who we get in office. we are to far in the shitter to have any hope of getting things back to the way they were before bush 2.0 came in office.

You know, all yhis shit we are having to deal with came along betweenn the bushes, so to speak.

[jakesford]

God I hope not, Perry is a career politician that has never had an original thought in his life. I would rather see Barry in office with a republican house. At least then it would just be 4 more years of nothing.

Perry is an arrogant, self serving, lying, smug, ass-wipe... if he dropped off the face of the planet tomorrow, we (and especially Texas) would be far better off.

well kinda. the defaecate was fucked up by the end of George H W Bush's presidency and by the end of Clinton's side show of a presidency was over it had picked back up. then George W Bush came in to office and in all fairness to him alot of shit happened mostly due to Clinton's democrat bull shit and well we know how that went. now Obama is in office. i thought at first some of his ideas were good on paper but at the time not needed. now we find out all the bull shit he talked about on the road to the white house was just that. my brake down of it all is

Bush 1.0 = Not a bad president.
Clinton = Jerry Springer in DC.
Bush 2.0 = Not right for the job. " i just didn't care for the man after his reelection"
Obama = A bunch of hot fucking air. get the fuck out!
and if perry wins = were fucked!

how could anyone want to vote for a man who actually said that Texas needs to become their own independent country away for the USA. WTF!!!!

That's what scares me, he would fit right in in Washington... Just like Romney, big corporations will buy him in a heartbeat.

But, think about it. If you and the others who won't vote because you feel like it's a waste of time were to vote and convince 2 or 3 of your friends to vote, you WILL make a difference.

Just how many people on here hold an electoral vote?

I like Perry. Strongest candidate so far. We need a nominee that will stick it to Obama hardcore - I know Perry will do this.

When did he say that?

Rick Perry: “Texas is a unique place. When we came into the union in 1845, one of the issues was that we would be able to leave if we decided to do that,” Perry said. “My hope is that America and Washington in particular pays attention. We’ve got a great union. There’s absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, who knows what may come of that.”

He was partially correct in that parts of Texas could leave the union but after the civil war in Texas Vs White the supreme court pretty much nullified any pre civil war agreements. If Texas attempted to seceed now it'd be an act of war against the United States. Perry majored in animal science, not political science or constitutional law. He was speaking to a group of Tea Partiers and said something he shouldn't have.

He never said we should seceed though, he said that when we joined the union one of the agreements was that we could leave if we wanted to. It's partially a true statement.

I really wish Paul would become POTUS, i think he is enough outside the norm that something might actually happen.

I know some people say he is too crazy or too old but i think thats what the country needs, we need to try something different cause the path we are on only leads down. As for his health, he seems pretty healthy to me and i have alot of respect for the guy honestly.

Kinda reminds me of who i consider one of our greatest presidents, Eisenhower.

The worse this shit gets the better Ron Paul looks, I'll admit.

Which makes him about half as bad as the ass-hat we now have.

Interestingly enough, I would not mind Ron Paul being our governor.

Perry would be a good candidate...but Im voting Ron Paul
