Rick Perry launches White House bid
http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/04/politi...-announcement/
Quote:
"I'm running for the presidency of the United States," Perry said at a sweltering rally in Addison, Texas, where the former governor and his guests on stage could be seen sweating profusely at the midday event.
Perry reintroduced himself Thursday as a Republican with military experience that distinguishes him from other GOP hopefuls. That biography -- bookended by a poor upbringing in the small town of Paint Creek and by a job-creation record as governor -- was not shared in 2012, his advisers say, but will be in 2016.

I could be happy with Perry....I prefer someone who will work to implement the Fair Tax like Cruz or Huckabee....but, Perry will do....

You must not be middle class, if you like the ridiculously-named "Fair Tax" idea.

Well, Don, I've always "heard" that a person is usually actually 1 rung lower than what they would classify themselves....I'd classify my wife and I as "Lower Middle" so if that is true, I'm Upper Lower.....but like Andy Griffith said when he was asked at the Induction Center in the movie "No Time For Sergeants" if he or any of his family had ever tried to overthrow the government by unconstitutional means, he said, "Naaaaaaw....I reckon we're all pretty satisfied"......

Aw shucks.
We actually discussed Fair Tax at length here, a while back. There's a negative tax for the poor, and big tax relief for the rich. Guess who pays for both?

Since I missed that and didn't have the benefit of your scholarly dissertation, I'll guess I'll continue to support, vote and declare my hope for it.....

Ricky Perry, the first candidate to run for president while under felony indictment.
Stay classy, Texas.

I don't know if you heard this Bob, but his answer to why he is running is "why not?". That says it all for me.

I'm no fan of Perry's, but I think his indictment is pretty bogus. FWIW, the Post agrees.
