I really like this ad in which Perry asserts that there are just some things you can’t say in Washington, like the truth, and he’s right. That was crystallized for most of us when Pelosi beat her minions into submission and got all the votes needed for ObamaCare in the House.

Rick Perry asserts he’s an outsider who will speak the truth and overhaul Washington. I believe that because he’s outside in every one of his ads. That just dawned on me when I was watching this one.

But seriously, I’m pulling for Rick Perry because he is one that could easily be my choice for president. I’m hoping real hard that he can gain ground in the polls and start to do some damage to ‘Newt Romney’.

I will reply to this. Only Texans like Perry, even understand the border war. I do not say secure the border, because it is a misnomer. Trying to explain it, is like trying to explain to heat stroke to a Eskimo. You have to live there, see it, and be involved. I was. So, how can I make you see? Believe Mexicans take a group of maybe 30 people, take their money,and leave them on the desert to die. Some agreeable aliens, will carry dope, just to cross, only to die in Texas. They haul drugs in semi's. They shoot anyone who interferes. Some swim thru bobwired rivers, just to escape. Aliens are just trying to survive. Then, if you catch one, the Feds just bus them back to Mexico, no penalties. If you arrest a coyote, the cops put you in jail. If there, you just try to avoid it. Several times, a group of Texans have assembled, and tried to go change things, forget it. The Mafia, the drug lords, the Chicago mob, the Muslims, our POTUS, and many congressmen want this, it makes them rich. Perry will shut down the illegal part, and allow the legal border dealings to continue. All the while, he will, as proven, change Ob's EO's. and challege them in court. This is just book one, verse one. Maybe, you can see a little, now.

Speaking for us guys, who not only fixed the planes, but then, had to fly them too, we thank you all. If your own life depends on repairing a .50 cal. machine gun, you can bet, they all got the same loving care. I really felt sorry for the desk jocks. I would have had ulcers.

We used to sing a hymn in military church, every Sunday, that said about the same. I haven't heard it for years. It did not include returning, just blessings. God bless you all, that have been there. A grateful nation thanks you.

Ha ha ha, fellow traveler. We, aircrew, thought you were nuts to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. Still, we loved you, like our brothers. They made me jump a few times, no big deal, but then, no one was shooting at me. Semper Fi!

Great ad and couldn't say he was wrong about PC either. The truth is always being fluffed to sound good or a flat out lie. I just wish he could be more articulate in the debates. I've liked Perry since he announced and I think he will be tough on immigration and getting rid of Obamacare.

"I'll say politically incorrect things, and now I'll prove it by saying focus group-tested lines that aren't particularly controversial among Democrats or Republicans."

How about he says something truly politically incorrect that needs saying, like the fact that the immigration of third-world peasants, legal and illegal, threatens to destroy the country? I guess that would be heartless.

I guess arguing this is pointless. Perry knows about a 1000 times more than you about the border. $400 million is a drop in the bucket. A single drug lord makes more than that in a year. A burka, or burnose is common on the border, If you cannot tie the two together, the Muslims are flowing across the border, with drugs. Like viet Nam, they tie bombs to babies backs. People from everywhere are flowing to the border drug business. They shoot each other so often many never make the paper. If I, a local, knows all this, how much do you think a governor knows, from other border residents? I speak spanish. I have talked to aliens from most south America countries. So much is going on, and believe me OB does all he can to facilitate it. Sadly, some of these are GOP POTUS candidates. Twist and turn all you want, if he had no heart, Perry would be machine gunning these animals. If you had a heart, you might actually feel for the children caught up, in this war. You might even do aomething about it, like vote for Perry.

I have no idea what that was supposed to mean. Try being coherent for a change.

Great ad! I have doubts about the ''outsider'' claim but a well made ad never the less. Kudos Team Perry.

I really believe this man is the "real deal" as far as being a principled conservative. If we really believe that our country is in trouble, economically, morally, and militarially, and we believe that only conservative governance will turn things around then we can't afford to go with anyone but a true conservative.

WHO is this guy?

Where have I seen him before?

Let me put my FOIL HAT on for a clearer picture

RICK - Where have you been???

I'm not voting for a guy that was chief of staff to Al Gore, or Gingrich who is a progressive liberal leaning moderate or Romney who is a flip flopper and the creator of what was the basis for Obamacare. If people want real change, they should vote for Ron Paul. He is the only true Constitutional conservative in the Presidential GOP lineup that would truly bring about positive change to this country and the world.

That was a good ad- kind of hard to watch after the bad lipreading one though ;-) I'm really liking his ads, but I'm still waiting for Bachmann and Santorum to get with it and make some great ones too.

I think I am a bit sick of hearing politicians say they are an outsider that is going to clean up washington. We heard that enough from Obama and what the insiders warned is what happened. We have a president who has no clue on how to create an atmosphere of bipartisanship and has no idea on how to build concensus.

I think it is the height of arrogance and niavity that someone thinks that they alone can come in and clean up Washington. It will take a republican majority in both houses and a republican president for the next two voting cycles to even come close to doing so. The more tea partiers the better.

Perry is a Washington DC outsider. He is consistent. Try looking at his record, strongest in the field and at the executive level. He is the perfect candidate for me, cuz i live in realville, and he is about as close as u can get. Is he perfect human being? No,and none r, but he admits his mistakes, learns from them and he is faithful.

Okay Kevin. I respect your decision as I hope you will mine in not deciding who I think should be the nominee yet. In all due respect, you did not address my points though.

For me, I think that the true conservatives in this race are Bachmann and Santorum. The progressive candidates are Romney and Newt with Newt being a bit more to the centre. Not sure where I stand with Rick Perry yet. I respect him as a man but not sure yet, if he should be president.

I was commenting partly on your "outsider" comment. The rest was just a bonus for ya ;) Perry is a DC outsider, Bachmann and Santorum are not. If u want to support them that is ur buisness. I respect that. As far as working with folks without compromising principle, as an executive, Perry has that experience. Bachmann and Santorum do not have the executive experience. I've never heard Perry say or suggest that he can do it all alone. On the other hand, Obama thinks he can do it all alone, and wants to. Obama has made mention of being tempted to bypass congress. One more thing, Perry is a conservative too.

I hear you, but Rick just doesn't have that retail appeal like Perry does. This comes across even in the debates where Rick sometimes appears to pout or roll his eyes. The reality is that we need and attractive, likable candidate like the left has in Obama to beat Obama.

One other thing that needs to be mentioned (but never does) is that Perry served in the Air Force. None of the other candidates have military experience. The charge of 'chickenhawk' will come back on Newt or Romney should military action be required.

I also wish that the fact he is an Eagle Scout would come up from time to time. It is a serious accomplishment.

Not a big deal you say? Ha. Try helping your kid through a year of Webelos!
