Rick Perry is Running for President
by Judson Phillips
The statement Rick Perry is running for President should not come as a shock to anyone. Perry has not announced for President yet, but he will. It is only a matter of time.
He is hard at work lining up not only supporters but according to my sources even more importantly lining up fundraisers. A campaign needs many things but most of all, it needs money. With the Obama campaign on track to raise a billion dollars legally and probably as much illegally, any Republican is going to need a lot of money.
But what does it mean when Perry jumps into the race?
It is the curveball that will throw the race into confusion.
The big loser will be Mitt Romney. We all know Romney is a RINO and he is a very flawed candidate. Romney cannot run against Obama on Obamacare. He did Romneycare in Massachusetts. While there are arguments about exactly how much he did, he has been hung with it. Obama has claimed Romneycare was the inspiration for Obamacare. Romney gave the come back at the first debate that Obama should have called him and he would have said it does not work. Nice retort but that does not work. Not only do most people not believe it but in the era of soundbites, that one just isn't going to cut it.
The second issue that Romney is so flawed on is jobs. Romney touts his private sector experience. He was with Baine Capital, which provided investment capital for companies to buy out other companies or shareholders. Frequently the end result from those investments was layoffs from the companies. The layoffs may well have been justified. That is the nature of the private sector. Sometimes you hire and sometimes you fire. A company in the private sector must remain profitable.
Unfortunately for Romney, the commercials are already scripted. When he starts talking about the Obama depression and people out of work because of it, the Party of Treason is going to have workers fired from the companies that Baine provided capital for talking about how they were sacked.
Surprisingly, Michele Bachmann is also going to suffer from Perry's entry. Bachmann is an exciting candidate who comes from the Tea Party. She is committed to Tea Party principles. Perry makes a similar claim, but to a lesser degree. Many will argue about his Tea Party cred but he will pull some from Bachmann. In a recent Tea Party Nation poll, Bachmann, not surprisingly was the top vote getter with almost 45% of the vote. In what could be called a surprise, Perry, an unannounced candidate came in second with 18% of the vote, beating out Sarah Palin.
Some of the minor players are going to suffer from a Perry candidacy as well. When he announces, that could be the death knell for Tim Pawlenty's campaign as well as that of Newt Gingrich. Money has been hard for both of them to come up with and many GOP heavy hitters are still sitting on the sidelines, waiting.
Perry also brings one other feature to the race. He may be the one candidate that can unite the Republican Party. He maybe the one who can get support from both the establishment GOP and from the Tea Party. Romney cannot get Tea Party support. If Romney is the nominee, the Tea Party will not support him the way a Bachmann or even a Perry will draw support.
Bachmann is a fresh voice on the scene. While many of the chattering class have written her off, she has been working quietly behind the scenes to build a real GOP organization. But getting the establishment firmly behind her this time maybe a bridge too far, and some RINOs may well split off if she is the nominee. We saw something similar in Minnesota last year, where some "moderate" Republicans refused to support the conservative Republican nominee and floated a "moderate" candidate out there. The moderate drew 11,000 votes and Socialist Governor Mark Dayton won by 9,000.
Perry may be the one Republican who can unite the GOP in 2012 in a run against Obama.
For what ever flaws he may have, that is something conservatives will have to think long and hard about as they decide who they are going to support.

New polital party is registered in Arizona, America Elect Party. The movers, I suspect Soros, intend to register the party in all states: I would imagine Republican stsates are their target. Reference appears below. I am not up on this one, but could they run a Republican candidate without his permission? I see it as a method to draw votes away from the Republican lead candidate. One way to neutralize it, is for the Republicans do the same, and have that party put up a popular Democrat, say Al Sharpton. The reference follows:

Permalink Reply by Diogenes on Thanks DA. I said suspect on Soros. After it was found by another TPN member that the two names on the registration application for America Elect Party, were CFR members. Yes! If it matters google the appropriate site on State of Arizona. Best
Permalink Reply by Billy Bowlegs on At one time Florida had 102 off the wall registered Election Parties. Some of these could have been used to blind side candidates of the two major parties. For example, a bought and paid for SOE could slip in the votes of all of the members of a similar "Election Party" yet their votes are for one of the Major Candidates (DEM or REP) depending on which side the SOE is on. Also, one way to get the total dead man count up in a state.
Believe it or not, the Secretary of State (and most time subordinate SOE), are some of the biggest criminals in a State. That has been known to happen her in Florida many times in the past. (No Names due to my location).
My point is, would the Election Party run Perry if he is rejected from the Republican Party. Kind of like when Charlie Christ from Florida ran and Rubio nocked him out this past election cycle. It would tell us under this "What IFF" scenario that the NWO (SOROS), Liberal, Marxis whomeevers anre looking for an OBAMA CLone one way or another. What I see and read about PERRY that he and OBAMA could be twins from birth.
Permalink Reply by Debrajoe Smith-Beatty on Permalink Reply by Billy Bowlegs on Will have to admit, Jeb came into office in January 2000. I nailed him two weeks letter with one of my "street fighting projects" which lasted 5 years of his eight. (Went to school with the Chief of Staff's Secretary years begone). He shut down totally the Department of Labor and Employment Security (52,000 jobs). Parseled out the 20 thousand workers to Dept of Revenue and other Like Job Departments. Big Budget Cutting event. 32 K jobs slashed that were a known drain on the budget of Florida. He may not be too bad in the Whitehouse if he would hatchet Dept of Ed, Dept of Env Protection, Cut and Change Homeland Security and all the rest of the drain.
Would have to have a PRE-NUP Agreement that this would be his plan before I would vote for him though. Verify before trusting. (Obama Motto).
Permalink Reply by Debrajoe Smith-Beatty on Permalink Reply by Billy Bowlegs on LOUD AND CLEAR. I was not stumping for Bush #3. Papa Bush sold us down the drain because he would have known as the VP and PRIOR CIA, that OBAMA was coming along. So would Bush#2 - and he had the CIA under his control right prior to the election - could have done something but did not.
And, I just realized the Republican Mentality on the entire issue. The Republican Party is basically afraid of a Black Uprising and destuction of the U.S. Infrastructure if Obama is removed; irregardless that the ISSUE IS NOT BLACK (or a 1st Time Black President - which some Blacks are discussing now). THE ISSUE IS CRIMINAL. A 1st TIME CRIMINAL PRESIDENT with CRIMINAL INTENT, CRIMINAL ACTIION prior to and after Inaugration, and continued movement against our Constitution. This PRESIDENT will kill the probablility of another Black President within the next 100 Years, Unless his criminality and crimes are Constitutionally Addressed and that has to happen very soon.
NOT A BIRTHER ISSUE, NOT A BLACK ISSUE, BUT A "CRIMINAL" in the WHITEHOUSE ISSUE and only that ISSUE. Both prior Bushes knew about the coming also.
Permalink Reply by Joseph Gibson on Congressman Ron Paul may be a long shot to win the Republican presidential nomination, but he runs competitively with President Obama right now.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows Paul picking up 37% of the vote, while the president earns 41%. The Texas congressman joins Mitt Romney, Michelle Bachmann, and Rick Perry as candidates within hailing distance of the president at this time.
Rudy Giuliani is another potential candidate who is considered a long shot for the nomination but is competitive with the president. The former mayor of New York City trails Obama by five, 44% to 39%.
But the real story in the numbers is that the president continues to earn between 41% and 49% of the vote no matter which Republican is mentioned as a potential opponent. This suggests that the race remains a referendum on the incumbent more than anything else.
Permalink Reply by Swarming Bees on "discuss the point intelligently?" You mean when I sound as though I ,"agree with you?" Here's some logic for you. I know that not everyone will agree with me, ever. As long as I ," know myself," that's what matters to me. Some will agree with me, and some will not. Even, I myself may today not agree with an earlier position I held, but we all learn from our mistakes, or at least should, whether we do or not, we should learn from past mistakes. I will tell you a fact, fours ago I wouldn't even have ventured into any social network site anywhere, but now here I'am, staking out my territory and planting my flag, and refusing to give any ground. I know who or rather what my enemy here is, and while you said you aren't my enemy, I already knew that. Sun Tzu identified that enemy for me. It's no accident you can't figure me out. I don't intend for you to figure me out. Now if you don't mind, I'm going into my Gong session. "Rise Kundalini,"
Namaste
