GOP leaders worry the party will squander a chance to win the White House unless it has a candidate able to excite the Republican base and inspire grass-roots support and donations.” The potentials: Mitch Daniels, Sarah Palin, Jon Huntsman, and Michele Bachmann. There’s a “draft Jim DeMint” movement, and Rush Limbaugh wants Texas Gov. Rick Perry to run.
ROMNEY: A Suffolk poll shows Romney leading with Huckabee and Trump out of the race. He gets 20%, Sarah Palin 12%, Gingrich 9%, Giuliani 7%, Paul 5%, Bachmann 4%, Cain 4%, Daniels 4%, Pawlenty 3%, Santorum 3%.

"....and Rush Limbaugh wants Texas Gov. Rick Perry to run. "
Yeah, baby- Rick Perry!
"If I'M elected, We gonna let each state secede from that danged ol' Union. Everah one knows Unions are BAD!" Oh, and................"HEY everybody- LOOK at ME!!"
The Texas House has approved a state's rights resolution that serves "notice to the federal government to cease and desist from certain mandates," and calls for repealing certain federal laws.
Approved 102-44 Wednesday, the measure is based on the 10th Amendment.
Democratic Rep. Marc Veasey attached language saying it doesn't endorse segregation — as some have used the banner of state's rights to do historically.
Opponents also charged the measure is an attack on the Obama administration. But its chief sponsor, Republican Rep. Brandon Creighton, said it wasn't political.
Gov. Rick Perry has cheered the measure. But Perry's shied away from going as far as he did in 2009, when he suggested Texans might at some point get so fed up they would want to secede from the union

Slick Rick has decided that seceding is not such a 'bright idea'!
Guess he'll stay in the Union that he hates!
Wasn't Slick Rick complaining a few weeks ago that President Obama was ignoring his pleas to have west Texas declared a federal disastor area ?
Yup Dirp101,
...Rick is such a whiner.....degrades the President ...but becomes angry when the folks in Alabama and other states were hit with the devastating tornados and the President visited and sent Federal aid. Crying about Texas burning......Maybe The Administration thought Texas had left the Union........
Whats the rush??
Rush is a great rock band.
Also (from Wikipedia)
Rush is also an overweight, chemically induced radio performer.
Seriously. Why do we have to have a solid line up in May of 2011 for an election that doesn't happen until November of 2012? And we started this fiasco around Nov. 3 of 2010. I think I miss the "good old days" when we didn't have 24/7 news cycles and campaigns didn't start the moment the election ended.
Rick Perry never said he wanted to secede. He said the federal government is taking too much power and authority from the sovereign states, which is true...
Perry would be a great Presidential candidate...
There are leftist moonbats in Arizona who seriously want to secede from their own state, however. A group of lawyers from the Democratic stronghold of Tucson and surrounding Pima County have launched a petition drive seeking support for a November 2012 ballot question on whether the 48th state should be divided in two....
Perry never said Texas should secede just like Gingrich never brought up "radical right wing social engineering." His insinuations regarding possible secession spoke volumes. He meant exactly what he said.
I think the Federal government should sell all the Fed own land in Texas to help reduce defict.!! We can certainly move our military bases and NASA some where else. Let the soverign state of Texas and their governor be one of the buyers in the great real estate deal, but they have to pay in gold only. No cashier check.
We can all be crazy today, because the world is ending Sat. LOL
Bob:
Rick P has done a great job for TX...not.
As usual, the middle and lower classes will be left holding Governor Perry's "bag."
Rick Perry LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!
Divide, Divide, Secede, Divide, Divide, Secede.
Why the rush to insipidity. We've already discarded one bad hair candidate in TRUMP. Why pick another even more vapid one. He'd put John Edwards to shame on the time spent on the do, doncha think?
Texas does not require their governors to think; they just act as told. (see W) He is a puppet of whoever he can brainwash into thinking he can do anything other that stand and model. Rush Limbaugh is the perfect cheerleader for him. Blow hard and brainless.
Herman Cain 2012
No thanks, trying to cut down.
No offense Herman but we are going to need to see your long from birth certificate, it appears that you have a Kenyan anti-colonial mentality. let us explain it another way, your are black. When Herman Cain says he was born in this country, and that he ran a successful chain of pizza parlors, we take him at his word, but we want to see that document and we want to see him personally toss and twirl a pizza crust.
Yours Truly
The Republican Base
Why do the majority of the people in Texas sit idly by and let these GOP?Republicans make a complete fool of their state?
Well, June, it's like this. Not all of us living here in Texas support the Repubican/TP Inc. party, it's just that there are A LOT of poorly educated Texans who do. Unfortunately, there are so many of those that support the Repubican/TP Inc. party that the educated, thinking people with a social conscience who live in Texas get drowned out and out voted.
That being said, there are some very educated people in Texas who support the Repubican/TP Inc. party who are not happy with Perry but still support the Repubican/TP Inc. party. You see, June, the Repubican/TP Inc. party is the party that supports the greedy, and education level or intelligence does not always determine the level of greediness a person may have. Therefore, you have very intelligent, greedy people who have no social conscience supporting the Repubican/TP Inc. party and, by default, Gov. Perry.
Matthew: thus the saying "Houston, we have a problem" will never go away.
Most of the Texans I know are so proud of their George W. that they seem blinded by reality. Sad to say, but true.
What "Lunatic Limbaugh" the "Moron With A Mic" does not matter! This nut would have voted for Hitler, and would have done his radio show from Nuremburg. Hey! "Lunatic Limbaugh" take another pill! What a joke.
Here is an idea for a GOP litmus test, why not start with a brain scan to see if the candidate actually has one, and that it is functional.
The "Gross Odd People" (GOP), and the "Really Not Competent (RNC) will not be getting any votes either. Their continued positions on Medicare is simple. They voted to kill it! Their economic ideas are just evil in nature, and they just proved that by voting for more huge tax payer subsidies for big oil. Again! Their vile attacks on Women's Rights are also well noted, and they are attacking the rights of voters on the state level. That is fact!
