— Ace The line was sweatier than Cool Hand Luke, about 250 people waiting for 45 minutes (or more).
Pictures coming (I'm right in front of the podium). Live blogging:
Talks about his upbringing in Paint Creek, and the values he learned -- "hard work and thrift."
"Socialist systems" try to order people in society -- but Americans do not "like to be told their place."
"That's why we reject this president's unbridled fixation" on taking money from citizens, punishing success, increasing dependency on government.
"one in six work-eligible americans cannot find a job, that is not a recovery, that is an economic disaster"
"This president and his big-spending policies have prolonged our national misery, not alleviated it."
"How can the wealthiest nation in history fail so miserably to pay its bills? Well Mr. President you cannot win the future by selling it to foreign creditors."
"This is only the latest downgrade... for three years he has been downgrading employment, downgrading our financial situation, downgrading our confidence, and downgrading our hopes for a better future."
"This president wishes to dictate the borders of our friend, Israel, while being an abject failure in defending the border of the united states."
"It's time to get America workin' again." Minor quote, but I suspect this is to be a theme of his campaign. Best way to do this is to "give a pinkslip to the current occupant of the White House."
Talks about making tough decisions in cutting spending to balance Texas' budget -- "It can, and it must, be done in Washington DC."
Several principles for how to do this: "One, you don't spend all the money!"
Also tort reform, regulation reform.
notes he just got "loser pays" tort reform.
"I know America is not broken, Washington DC is broken!" Another campaign theme. Mentions "generational theft." Will not accept "the path that America is on." "A renewed nation needs a new president."
"It is time to get America working again, and that is why.... I declare to you today as a candidate for presdident of the uS"
We cannot except the exchange of "less freedom for more government."
"The people are not subject to the government, the government is subject to us."
Talks about what is needed to "get American workin' again."
"I will work every day to make sure that Washington DC is as inconsequential to your lives as possible."
Just said goodbye and posed briefly with his family, which is pretty cute.
Overall impressions: 1, he's a good speech giver.
2, a point I didn't touch on because I was trying to get quotes, he condemned Obama for being too cowardly to suggest any entitlement reforms. He did not specify his own.
3, I think he might be softening his Texas accent, aware of the comparisons to Bush. While he clearly had a Texas accent, 1, he didn't sound much like Bush, and 2, it sounded subtle.
I heard that he was a good speaker, could charge the room, channel emotion, speak clearly in appealing themes. This is the first time I've actually seen in him action. Early reports were accurate; he's very good on the stump.

""I will work every day to make Washington, D.C. as inconsequential in your lives as I can.""
Sounds good to me. He's got my vote. I like him more than Romneyy, who I'm afraid will wilt under the onslaught of race-baiting, and all sorts of other nonsensical chicagostyle attacks. Even as a dem from the 80s, he seems more conservative than Romney was.

If Obama did what Perry did with Gardisil, we would be calling for Obama's impeachment!
You know, I have a very very vocal critic of the whole mandatory vaccination thing at the time it happened. I am spectacularly suspicious by how I've seen it all over twitter (I had to fucking shut down tweetdeck I was so sick of seeing stuff about it) and now all over various blogs. Please to be less obvious with the astroturfing.

I'll bet our military would be much more comfortable with a CIC who actually has weapons and knows how to use them.
As opposed to a clusterfuck of a human being who... you know what, I don't have the words. The mere thought of him pisses me off too much.

He just cut Romney's legs out from under him. Mitt's been equivocating on the role of government. Perry just said it's too "in your face".
That resonates right now. Powerfully.

I'm hoping he's going to vault to the top of the list, past Mitt and all the rest. Now, maybe SarahCuda will stay out of the race and endorse Perry. She could draw a lot of the media fire away from him, which I think she knows.
BTW, Ace, did you bring any pudding with you as a gift? That would require an explanation, of course, over a 55-gallon drum of Valu-Rite with two straws in it...

remember to seek medical attention if your political boner lasts longer than 4 hours.
I've only had two concerns about Perry. The first is the rest of the nation's general reaction to a President from Texas. The second is his ability to raise money.
His political skills, and straightforward speaking, I've seen those. Never worried about them. His "baggage", feh.

Perry looked so Presidential.
Perry is an Airforce trained pilot flying one of the most versatile and indispensible military airplanes, the Lockheed C-130.
Take a look at the flight deck of this plane. It's awesome.
You can trust pilots, they are sharp, disciplined and aware.

I hope he and Rove and bury the hatchet and make this work.

No, you're certainly right.
But he ran one of the worst campaigns I've ever seen. Even the higher ups at the top were frustrated.We had a shit ton of voting irregularities going into this in Ohio (of course). And they (the top of the top) didn't want to hammer any of it out. Apparently it was impolite to question why you'd have more registrations in a county where there were actually people qualified to vote. We were all working against The Indonesian (shout-out to progressoverpeace!) at that point.

Sure, but the difference between Perry and Romney or Palin is that we can see what he is currently doing in the second biggest economy in the U.S. (and one of the larger ones on the globe).
Speeches are less important with this kind of candidate.
Barring skeletons (which I'm sure will surface quickly), I'm all in.

His concrete plan has a name, it's called Texas. Perry's plan is to undo everything The Vapid One™ has done, something everyone here also wants as their baby. We've watched all the poseurs come and go, as it seems Perry has.

He may have gone too far in making his hairdo look presidential. It's slightly too short for the shape of his head now, so it's just kinda sitting on top of him like a cracked pancake, and he looks older and less "Yeah I have a boat; wanna get fucked on it?" than he usually does. Net gain, probably. That's depressing.
How tall is he? He's listed at 6'1", but is that, like, NBA height? If he's shorter than Obama, his being more man-shaped will be a visual disadvantage in TV debates. People hate a little man-shaped guy. If he's taller, or he grows his boat-hair back, and there's some war shit going down during debate season, he'll look more like, y'know, The Guy.
...Does he always do the meth-jaw thing during long pauses? I never saw him talk for more than a couple sentences until now. First decent Rick/meth/Perry pun gets to be his name in 900,000 Kos comments. Crank Perry? The Texas Grinder? Does InTrade have a line on this yet?
...Those are his kids, I guess? I shut the sound off when he was done. If his son's not gay, the media's gonna lay a bunch of LOOK AT HIS GAY-ASS SON on him. And having not-ugly daughters with shiny hair will cost him some of the ladies' vote, if that's who those MTV-studio-audience-lookin' girls are.
Meh.

I'll add, cause I'm like here and shit, Rick Perry is not the reincarnation of Ronald Reagan. Reagan was on the national scene for many years before his eventual electoral success, including a failed run in 1976 against Ford.
Perry does not have those chops.
He does have a dozen years of dealing with DC as the governor of a large and growing state, he has keen political instincts, he's right on most of what conservatives care about, and he also knows how to use a shiv, and where his opponent's major arteries are.
He ain't no pussy.

Posted by: dagny at August 13, 2011 09:58 AM (mp5bb)
That's fine and I understand your point, but there is a difference between Texas and the whole USA.
Yes, but Rick Perry illustrates why it's much better to have governors as Presidents than Congresscriters - they've already have executive experience and they can point to the economic performance of their state during their tenure as proof of their effectiveness.
And Texas is actually better experience for the POTUS gig than most other states because Texas borders another country, thus Texas has to deal with more international trade and border issues (and so on and so forth), just like POTUS has to consider.

It sure looked that way to me at the debate, but I doubt he'll get it. You want a veep to be your attack dog on the campaign trail, and Pawlenty just can't do it convincingly. He always looks like he wants to apologize to his target. OTOH, Perry might be his own attack dog.

None of that magic combination is going to be available to President Downgrade in 2012. Are the Demonrats going to double down on their Jihad to destroy the US? Of course they will - will the Media be all in favor of Obamao - of course they will - and none of that will make a difference. If the Dhimms think they got their asses kicked in 2010 they will find out in 2012 what happens when you don't pay any attention to the electorate in two straight elections. The people told Teh Won "No!" in a loud clear voice in 2010, and he hasn't listened at all. In fact he has been lecturing the electorate ever since. That is the real issue of the 2012 election - things are not going to play well for him or his party next election.

I think so. I don't want to make it too obvious, but these two blokes, let's call them Deagan and Mush, on opposite ends of the party, came to an agreement and Deagan made Mush his VP, after which he endorced Mush for his own Presidential run 8 years later where he won handily in part thanks to the Deagan presidency. It makes the path clearer for Romney and gives him 8 years of additional cred.

Bush could have been a lot more conservative if he had not had a bunch of "Mavericky" RINOs stabbing him in the back on energy and taxes.
And if he had chosen to use the veto pen more often.

Perry can seperate himself by saying Mitt has his own way.
You don't think there was establishment/hypocrite baggage for Reagan after Bush uttered the "voodoo" word regarding Reagan's economic policy ideas?

Heartbreaking.
I'm as proud of our kid being an Eagle as I am his being a Marine.
Two years ago a young Marine pilot (and Eagle) from here volunteered to go to Afghanistan from Okinawa. He was killed three weeks after arriving there. A couple of days before he died, he asked his mom if she could send school supplies for the kids over there.
She set up the Matthew Freeman project, and they supply the Afghan kids with tons of school supplies. It's how she's stayed sane.

Perry/Romney, Perry/Pawlenty, Perry/Martinez, Perry/Rubio (though I really want him staying in the Senate for now).
The first two (particularly the very first) draw parallels to the unlikely ticket that won in a landslide against an inept asshole a few years before I was a spermatazoa (yes, just to make the rest of you feel ancient).

That's a higher unemployment rate than Iowa (6.0%) or Alaska (7.5%). It's higher than New Hampshire's (4.9%). Texas has a higher rate of unemployment than Mineesoetah (6.7%)

I've been waiting and waiting for him to make the decision. He was my choice from the beginning. He is the male Sarah Palin. He has balls, and will bring it to Obama, Romney won't and none of the others will either.
Now who for VP?

Usually its the social and military crusaders I am working up in a lather with my crazy alien constrained government at home and abroad lines of thinking.
I refered to the turds that wouldn't flush because that was the behavior. Not seen too much change my mind that any of these turds are sentient and worth addressing. We all brought up and talked about those issues months ago. We certainly didn't just spam it over and over again in a panic.

For a glimpse into the rabidness of Aggies:
Texas A&M maintains a cemetery on campus where all of the past Reveilles are buried. Reveilles I through IV were buried side-by-side in a small cemetery in front of Kyle Field with their noses and paws pointed so that they could look through the north tunnel and see the stadium scoreboard. This way, "they can always watch the Aggies outscore their opponent on the field."[23]
In 1997, the university decided to expand Kyle Field and build the Bernard C. Richardson Zone at the north end of the stadium. This necessitated the removal of the cemetery. After meeting with representatives of the Traditions Council, Student Senate, and E-2, the athletic department decided to create a temporary cemetery across the street in Cain Park. Upon completion of the stadium addition in 1999, the graves were relocated to a permanent cemetery at the new, tree-lined Kyle Field Plaza.[23] Due to the recent additions the gravesites' view of Kyle Field were blocked, a miniature scoreboard was constructed on the outside of the stadium so that the mascots can still watch the Aggies outscore their opponents
So the dead dogs can still watch the game. That's Aggieland.

Mark Steyn had an excellent rant about that a few weeks ago while filling in for Rush.
The thrust of it was basically that the average European is used to being a bitch and they embrace it.

The Proud Eyes of Texas Are Upon You.
Let's get this Rodeo started & kick Obama's boney ass back to Chicago & get as many conservatives elected into office all over the country as we can.

All I keep thinking about is Perry in a debate with Barack Obama using that line "I will work every day to make Washington, D.C. as inconsequential to your lives as possible." What the hell can Obama say in response to that? "That's racist"?

Looks like we are going to be working for another Texan in the WH again, time to start planning for another Texas sized meet-up.

Its got to be hard to be a troll, I know we have covered it before but hillbuzz and others dug up the paid Obama trolls locations etc.. in 08. We really should bring all that up again soon and layout the past strategy so that when it ramps up again this election we don't just look like we are making it up to excuse the numbers of Obama supporters flooding comment boards with their brilliant pre written cntrl -c cntrl v bullcrap.

If anything happened to Perry, or his hair, I wouldn't be nervous about his presidency
Posted by: Beto Ochoa at August 13, 2011 12:56 PM (lpWVn)
Been saying that myself.
and we'd get TWO accents for the price of one!
Perry said all the right stuff in the announcement speech.
Cain explained how to do it in the debate.

Bolton or Allen West would be my choices.
If Perry has any weaknesses in foreign policy -- who knows right now? -- Bolton would fix that in a heartbeat.

Are you saying Obama is a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure?
Just in case everyone else reacts slowly, I'll say it: Osama Obama is a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure.

You know, the Paulbots and Obamatards I understand. They have nothing else to do but hold onto their cult. But what's up with the Palin people? She's not a candidate. He is. He has the best chance to defeat Obama.
What's more important - getting rid of Obama or clinging to your cult?

btw, this is a response to several comments. both guys said Perry couldnt get Ohio. Why not? As long as his closet is empty of skeletons and gaffes and he's not viewed as too crazy on entitlements, buckeyes will lap his jobs talk right up.

He is a decent American and probably, for better or worse, a true centrist, which will make you want to string him up or kick him in the shins, whichever. Other times he'll come through and you'll be saying it's about damn time. He actually has walked both sides of the isle, which if played right can be used to his advantage. He has put us through a lot of crap down here, but in the end if we scream(ed) at him loud enough he'd end up listening and doing the right thing the majority of the time. Not all the time mind you, but most of it. But remember he didn't do it on his own, we've got a decent assembly which helped him be very effective. Which means this election is about more than just the presidency whether Obama gets re-elected or we take the WH. We need to keep the House and take the Senate. Mainly it means if Perry takes it he's has to have the right backing and you have to watch him like a hawk.
At this point I'll hold my nose and vote for him in the primary, let's face it, the field is weak; and if he wins that, the general election. I have a hard time trusting him, and though it makes no sense he is actually the one RINO I would say okay to. Although, I wouldn't call him a RINO per se, though many will, more like a right-leaning centrist who will frustrate the crap out of you for lack of a better description.
