Perry for President

I will tell you about one of the more interesting rounds of golf that I've ever played, and it involved Governor Perry. For one, I made the only hole-in-one of my life (so far) that day, a 3-iron from 193 into a slight wind.

The other thing that happened, just prior to the hole-in-one, was that one of my playing partners received a phone call from Governor Rick Perry. Now, I'm not going to name names, in order to protect the innocent, but my playing partner happened to be an 18 year old blue chip recruit who was still in high school at the time. I only heard one side of the conversation, but it wasn't too hard to figure out that Perry was recruiting for the aggies.

Anyway, I've always had the sense that Perry was more a creature of personal ambition than any sort of political idealist. In short, I don't believe him. The hair is a bit too perfect. The image a bit too polished. The reality underneath a bit too well concealed.
 
While your hatred of the President has you full of piss and vinegar, you're kidding yourself if the think the country is ready to elevate another goober Texas governor to the presidency. Most sentient people still remember how we got into the mess we're in and that alone will keep them from voting for a GWB sequel.
 
While I don't agree with everything that Perry does, and didn't vote for him in the TX gov primary, IF it was Perry vs. Obama you can be damn sure I'm not voting for Mr. AA+ Obama.
 
If / when Perry becomes the R frontrunner, it'll be interesting to see the amount and intensity of investigation and vetting from the rightwing media (Fox, WSJ, Wash Times, Forbes) compared to the "MSM", who probably won't be too kind to Goodhair.
 
A lifelong dem, I sat out the 2008 election so I am no fan of Obama, who was unprepared for his responsibilities and has made the predictable hash out of admittedly bad ingredients.

But Perry? Which will it be, Mr. Huisache, hemlock or strichnine?

I have a friend, a longtime dem, who used to hunt with Perry in the afternoons around Austin. He was of the opinon that Perry was non ideological and would do whatever was appropriate to win. He felt the gov had no fixed principles except his own success. He also allowed he was good company to hunt with and for a Sammy Glick type was an overall good guy.
 
as an aside....was watching "Smokey and the Bandit" on cable last night.

Anybody ever notice that Perry looks exactly like Buford T. Justice Jr.???

When are the Republicans going to admit that they made a bad choice in GW Bush? Do they really think people will forget? And what exactly would McCain have done that would have been so superior?
