A Pistol Packing President?

The two-hands Perry gun control comments are here:

Another funny gun-related Perry story is when he shot the coyote. You can read about that here:

BTW I love the Huffington Post's headline on that article: "Rick Perry Shoots And KILLS Coyote" - caps in original article! The horror, the horror.

I have to agree with getsome on Herman Cain too.

We live in TX and know he's created jobs here and he's a huge gun enthusiast, but we aren't convinced he's ready for DC and Washington.

I am far from convinced myself. His "jobs" come from being the beneficiary of two wars. Lots of bases, lots of Federal spending creates jobs. There was also an oil boom. Perry was just in the right place at the right time.

Let's not forget the pro-business environment Perry has fostered in Texas, including tort reform. Our business friendly environment has also caused 64 fortune 500 companies to relo here (#1 in the U.S.)--Perry's team gets a lot of credit on that front as well. The fact that the has his CHL and routinely carries helps his likability factor from my point of view. Still don't know if I'll vote for him yet. One thing for sure--it won't be Paul, Bachman or Palin if she decides to run.

Just wanted to give credit where it's due - good call to the Lotts on your governor not being ready for prime time (dc and presidency). Though a gun enthusiast and seemingly a kind fellow with good values, i can't imagine someone doing worse during the debates. Not ready was a perfect description.

Frankly, good times or bad, I'd be pleased to have Herman Cain as president.

[jocko]

indeed but watch the LIBERAL LEFT go after him like stink on sh-t. The word of the day for the left is DESTROY..

Interesting comment jocko. I noticed, and remarked to my wife yesterday, that our local PBS station had an Anita Hill marathon going on. They kept replaying two Anita Hill specials over & over again starting Friday and running through yesterday. Since I couldn't think of anything special that's happened with her or with Clarence Thomas recently, the only thing I could think of was the obvious tie-in to Herman Cain rising in the polls. Don't want a conservative and principled man of color occupying a highly visible position of power after all...

I made a prediction to my 13 yo daughter yesterday to remember that I told her: if Cain survives the primary process that similar sorts of unsubstantiated character assaults would rain down upon his head. It will be a nightmare.

"No man is above the law, not even the president" that is unless he was voted in by dead people and ACORN and political correctness and the MARXIST elite media, then the constitution is suspended... apparently.

Rick Perry is the closest thing to a true conservative that's running for POTUS. A+ rating from the NRA, C130 pilot, CC permit holder. A man of conviction who isn't afraid to speak his mind.

Could NEVER vote for anyone who supports illegal aliens, PERIOD. That's my top issue.

...AND "Blue Laws"!!

Out of all the things I could ask or say about your post, I'll leave it at; "Are you black?" haha

[MO_Soldier]

i might as well vote against any other elected official in washington too except for the tea party rebels that are swimming against the flow. I'm not necessarly pro or con tea party but some of those guys don't care if they get re-elected or not so to me it seems like they will be less in someone elses pocket that the "old timers." they are there to represent their district.

agreed!

[Mr_D]

In lieu of his entry into the race I've decided not to run against him. While I looked forward to serving my country as your next president I don't want to spread what few common sense votes we have left amongst good qualified candidates thereby thinning them out enough to let the give me, give me, raise the debt limit crowd another 4 years to take us down.

I am however available as a potential running mate for whatever tiny little bit that might be worth.

That's my worry, divide the opposition and Obama wins again.

Haven't you heard? They're not "illegal aliens" anymore they're now "displaced travelers"!!
