The governor of Texas, Rick Perry, has entered the republican race for president of the United States, he is gaining momentum and it looks as if the Tea Party and some members of the right wing of the Republican Party have gotten the political shot in the arm they have been waiting for. Who is this guy and where did he come from? Is he really bringing something new to the field? It is important for us to know who is running for president and what positions do they hold on certain issues. To better understand Governor Perry it is important to comprehend his origin, after all this is someone that desires to lead our country. I believe that the days of blindly voting for parties without knowing exactly what each candidate is standing for is over.
Governor Perry started out as the Lieutenant Governor of Texas in 1998 under George W. Bush and after Mr. Bush became president Mr. Perry assumed the role of governor. Rick Perry has been part of the Bush camp from the very beginning. Karl Rove, Bush’s long time political advisor and political genius, explains some things about Mr. Perry. (Watch video)
It is also important to note that when people who have known a person for a long time warn us about them, it is important for us to listen. We must keep close watch on the things that all of our politicans say, including Obama.
As a side note, I am currently looking at the republican hopeful Governor Buddy Roemer; he may be the REAL deal... (Watch Video)
We got to get off our butts and vote!!!!
