Rick Perry Could Unite the GOP

[Juggernaut]

Perry has outperformed the messiah and all other states. About six minutes into the video the WSJ team show a chart of jobs created. Rick Perry created more jobs than 46 states combined.

How, low taxes, fewer regulations and no cap gains taxes which is everything Obama and democrats have done wrong for decades. When libs laugh at the Laffer Curve its proof they can be programmed to think an attack on the rich and corporations shall bail out the country.

John F Kennedy lower taxes and the country grew, Reagan did the same, why would anyone trust Obama over real time progress in Texas. They do everything bigger in Texas.

Rick Perry Could Unite the GOP

Texas Gov. Rick Perry, 61, could cure the GOP's ennui. As America's economy slumbers, Perry tells a stimulating story about Texas' pro-market growth and job creation, two subjects that top the American mind.

Between January 2001 and June 2010, the Bureau of Labor Statistics calculates, Texas' non-farm employment grew from 9,542,400 in January 2001, when Perry took office, to 10,395,800 in June 2010 — an increase of 853,400 or 8.9 percent. Big-government California simultaneously lost 827,800 jobs.

Employment in Texas grew more than in the other 49 states combined. Since June 2009, when the Great Recession officially ended, Texas has produced 265,300 net jobs, equal to 36.7 percent of the 722,200 positions created nationwide.

For seven years running, CEOs polled by Chief Executive magazine have rated Texas first in business development and job growth. Texas boasts 58 Fortune 500 companies — more than any other state.

As America's No. 1 exporting state, Texas shipped $206.6 billion in goods abroad last year, composing 16 percent of America's $1.28 trillion in exports. California's $14.4 billion in exports ranked it second, with 11.2 percent of U.S. outflow.

So, what is Perry's secret? Texas taxes neither personal incomes nor capital gains, and Perry proposed a 2010 constitutional amendment to require two-thirds super-majorities to legislate tax hikes. Beyond that, as Perry told Manhattan Republicans Tuesday, "don't spend all the money."

Perry advised "a regulatory climate that is fair and predictable" as well as "a legal system that doesn't allow for over-suing." Thus, Perry signed groundbreaking "loser pays" tort-reforms and medical-litigation rules that caused malpractice-insurance rates to fall. Some 20,000 doctors since have flooded Texas. Texas is a right-to-work state, which Perry should trumpet nationally.

is perry a conservative or republican....it is my uninformed impression that he rejected arizona style immigration law and further has signed off on a corridor for mexican traffic thru texas i guess in connection with their trucking rights....

[Juggernaut]

Didn't know that, maybe he's putting it on the Fed or afraid to act. I remember the mexican corridor, the DOT fought for it even though some trucks are unsafe, others full of illegals. No need for either. I don't know all this guys negatives, gonna have to look, they all have dirt.

A purely fiscal conservative then?

a conservative cap, man or woman who believes in the exceptionalism of this nation through our founding documents....one who has unquestioned fidelity to the constitution of these united states viewing themselves as a citizen of these united states not the world and a servant of the american people not some twisted world govt ideology.....

George Will had wrote an interesting article on Perry, the man was once a democrat till he met republican friends in college. Didn't know that and its important since so many GOP candidates have common views with the left further solidifying that the 2 parties are alike in many ways.

Gov. Rick Perry's 'Texas Exceptionalism'

He was a "10th Amendment conservative" ("The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people") before the tea party appeared. And before Barack Obama's statism — especially Obamacare's individual mandate — catalyzed concern for the American project of limited government.

Perry's father had been a B-17 tail-gunner flying out of England in 1944. Perry, stationed abroad flying C-130 transports, became a captain and a believer in American exceptionalism.

He matriculated into the culture wars in the riotous year of 1968. As the University of Texas at Austin was becoming a bastion of liberalism, Perry headed to Texas A&M, which was transitioning from an all-male military school, but not from conservatism. He became a Republican in 1989 — "I made both parties happy" — at a younger age than Ronald Reagan did, and has never lost an election.

Supposed examples of Perry's extremism evaporate in sunlight. One is that he intimated support for Texas' secession from the Union. After people shouted "Secede!" at a rally, he said he understood their frustration but added: "We've got a great union. There is absolutely no reason to dissolve it."

He signed a law requiring women seeking abortions to be shown sonograms of their babies. Do people objecting to this mandatory provision of information object to the new graphic warnings on cigarette packs?

what are his views on the debt, deficit spending and raising the debt ceiling....what is his view on the constitutionality of obamacare, libya, unvetted czars....what is his view on start 2, missile defense and modernizing our nuclear arsenal.....what is his view on illegal immigration and immigration in general....would he commit to systematically reducing govt to that which is mandated by the constitution.....just some questions for the gov....

[Juggernaut]

All good questions, he's got a long way to go before becoming the best candidate. I know he's against Obamacare and wants a wavier for all 50 states. Like Bush I expect no matter who wins the gop candidate will have czars and continue raising the debt ceiling as this deficit spending shall continue till DC gets serious.
