Rick Perry Should Run For President

Now that Newt looks to be on his last legs and Mitt is — well — Mitt, we need a Republican Candidate with the connections and the vision to move this Nation forward. A candidate who is willing to think outside the box to save our nation from the many crises afflicting it. In short we need the Man behind this stroke of genius to join the Republican rodeo:

[O]n August 6, thousands will gather to Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas, to pray for a historic breakthrough for our country and a renewed sense of moral purpose. We want the presence, power, and person of Christ to fill our nation and turn the hearts of millions to righteousness, peace, and joy in Him. We want the blessing and favor of a Holy God who loves righteousness and wants to see righteousness exalt a nation in our generation. We want to see real change across our nation that only our God can perform. Will you join us in Houston? Will you pray, fast, and believe with us for a mighty move of God in our nation again?

There is hope for America. It lies in heaven, and we will find it on our knees.

I have to say that, based on the leadership he’s shown in promoting this event, Perry’s not your usual policy wonk. Furthermore, I bet the Tea Party would love him!

And I say that speaking as someone who knows Republicans.

yeah, prayer— all talk and no action. The truth is Perry and his ilk refuse to do what Jesus told them to do. Somebody should go ask Perry why……

I thought Texas had seceded from the Union already.

Perry’s got his hands full just answering to Texans why there will be a ban on outdoor BBQ & fireworks in parts of the Lone Star state this summer. Damn global warming.

But…but it snowed last winter!

Perry only wants some of his constituents on their knees.

Texas needs Rick Perry to run for president, our only hope.

Thus enlightened, I proceeded immediately to DraftPerry2012.com. As the site requested, I left email and voicemail messages for Gov. Perry, rooting him on. “If you care about America, if you care about Texas, you must run for president, you handsome devil,” I pleaded. “Unless you toss your hat in the ring, Governor Perry, our future will be one of endless pain, bottomless misery and, quite possibly, the end of democracy as we know it in Texas. Run, Rick, run!”

Barack Obama should run for president. The one who wanted to change stuff.

TarheelDem on June 10, 2011 at 7:28 am

Yeah, that Barack Obama. I remember him. Whatever happened to that young man?

  There are these things called reality and congress and life that get in the way. Its all around you, never seen them before?

Perhaps Rick should explain Texas’ massive budget shortfalls before he decides to throw his <strike>hair</strike&gt hat into the ring.

He should have to explain Texas’ massive budget shortfalls but I have little to no confidence that our media will even attempt to hold him accountable.

Let’s see, Perry called for all Texans to pray for rain April 22-24. How has that worked out for all the faithful?

Oh right, I forgot. Sometimes god answers prayer with a “NO” or “NOT RIGHT NOW” or any portion thereof. Oh, and sometimes the answer is “YES”.

So the possibilities are YES, NO and NOT RIGHT NOW. Or some percentage or mixture of any of those answers.

Wait a minute????? I recognize that pattern. This sounds just like random chance!! Ahhhh….now I get it.
