Topic: The Once and Future Perry Campaign

I don't think he's that dumb either, if evidence lets see it.

Also in the news-MFM plays up rift w/Bush.  Like people cannot disagree with each others actions without it being a rift?  In demonrat circles its called healthy debate...whatever.  Anyway, if Perry statements are accurate, I cannot say his characterization of NCLB etc is off base.

Gov. Rick Perry met Tuesday with former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf to exchange ideas about improving the economy and discuss the strained relationship between the U.S. and Pakistani governments.

Rick and Anita Perry dined with Pervez Musharraf and his wife at an Austin, Texas hotel.
The governor voiced concern that the historical relationship between our two countries are at not going well.

Musharraf later reflected that the essence of nations relationships is trust and that relations were excellent through 2008.

6th in the Iowa poll...no sentiment there to lure him in...

At this point I'm of the mind that we should line up around Michele Bachmann and try to make sure she has early momentum. We need to decapitate the Romney campaign within the first few primaries, and I think the best way to do that is for there to be a clear challenger and Tea Party favorite. If it comes down to "Romney and an assortment of others" we know how it's going to turn out.

Yep....Bachmann picked up support and seems to have stripped it away from other, more conservative opponents. From what I saw this morning, Romney stayed at around 25%.

At this point I don't see a reason not to support the Lady.

Break the spend-and-borrow cycle
By Rick Perry and Nikki Haley, Published: July 14

As governors of states whose residents, like all Americans, are desperate for the restoration of fiscal responsibility in Washington, we are proud to have signed the “Cut, Cap and Balance Pledge” amid the debate over once again raising the federal debt ceiling.

We oppose an increase in the federal debt limit unless three common-sense conditions are met: substantial cuts in spending; enforceable spending caps to put the country on a path to a balanced budget; and congressional passage of a balanced-budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution. That amendment should include a requirement for a congressional supermajority to approve any increases in taxes.

More please!

This whole "I feel a calling" thing kind of creeps me out.  This guy does have a history of putting his finger into the wind and following the wind wherever it goes.

Bachmann leaving her church for political expediancy.  Not good.  Smells like Ed Rollins is starting to get to her, and that can never mean good things.  The reason people like you, Michele, is that you're authentic.  This is not helping the authentic quotient.

[charlesoakwood]

Ed Rollins is a big water balloon in the face.  I had forgotten about him. 

[Libertas]

Forgetting him should be mandatory!

[AlanS]

Forgetting him should be mandatory!

As long as Bachmann does, too.

 I don't think he meant that as a religious calling.That would put me off too.
