Howdy, folks. Well, as Perry gallups ahead of Romney, a fire has been lit under the Obama campaign, encouraging Texas Democrats ‘to start attacking Rick Perry’, even supplying an online form! Yep, if this isn’t proof enough that Perry now poses a real threat to Obama, then maybe one of the Texas governor’s latest endorsements will help wrangle Democrats into the stark reality that even the independents are leaping from that damaged stagecoach. The autonomous, cigar-chewing, Jewish cowboy, Kinky Friedman submitted his endorsement of longtime rival Perry last night. After elaborating on Perry's character, as an adversary or friend, Kinky candidly admits...
More to the point, could Rick Perry fix the economy? Hell, yes! Texas is exhibit A; Rick’s fingerprints are all over it. He’s been governor since Christ was a cowboy. The Lone Star State is booming. The last time I checked, Texas is kicking in a hell of a lot of the U.S. GDP. Unemployment is lower than the vast majority of the other states. Hell, we could probably even find a job for Paul Begala.
So would I support Rick Perry for president? Hell, yes! As the last nail that hasn’t been hammered down in this country, I agree with Rick that there are already too damn many laws, taxes, regulations, panels, committees, and bureaucrats. While Obama is busy putting the hyphen between “anal” and “retentive” Rick will be rolling up his sleeves and getting to work.
A still, small voice within keeps telling me that Rick Perry’s best day may yet be ahead of him, and so too, hopefully, will be America’s.
I think Ed Morrissey said it best, “You won’t find a more entertaining endorsement this season.” Regardless of how much credence you give it, I think one things for certain: this rodeo is on!
