Not sure how I feel about this guy yet, but definitely some good stuff in this article.

"American soldiers should be led by American commanders." Amen to that.

Good stuff, I'm not a 100% on him, but I like what I keep hearing.

Same here. I actually voted against him in the last TX gubernatorial race. I voted for Kathy Glass on the Libertarian ticket. She wanted to get rid of TX's concealed handgun licenses saying that the 2nd Amendment is your right to carry, concealed or otherwise. And she had an awesome view on illegal immigration. Of course Perry kicked her butt, but I went with who I thought was best.Quote:

I have to say, while I wore the uniform I had ZERO respect for the man who was our Commander in Chief from 2008-now, but I did respect the position and had to follow orders, even if I did constantly question the legitimacy of how the man attained said position. Perry on the other hand, well I have a lot of respect for him. He openly admits he never saw combat, and never claims he wanted to (because every true warrior wishes for peace, but is prepared to fight), but shows unrelenting support for anyone who wore the uniform. Great man, and I sure hope someone like him can give this current dickhead in office the boot.
Can't stand Rick Perry, but good stuff in that article...
I'm gonna go out on a limb now and predict Rick Perry will be the republican nominee.
He's not my first choice but he's definitely on the short list. I wouldn't have any problem voting for him.
How about a Perry/Bachmann ticket? Or even Bachmann/Perry? That might be a good match.Quote:
