Subscribe to RSSMississippi Gov. Haley Barbour (R) said he is not advising fellow Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) on his presidential campaign. Barbour, at one point considering his own presidential run, told Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC that he is not advising any candidate, and he doesn't intend to endorse anyone.
He did, however, stick up for Perry for his comments on Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.
"I don't take it as offensive to say that we would not treat you nice,” Barbour said. “We treat you nice. We like you, and we're proud to have you down here. That isn't exactly threatening language to most people."
About secession: "If somebody thought he was saying that seriously a couple years ago, that would be one thing, but everybody knew then he was joking about it. ...He's going to get nitpicked, because he's the governor of Texas, because the liberal media elite dislike George Bush so much, and he reminds them of him. As I say, conservative, Christian, Republican, Southerner. He needs to understand he doesn't have the liberty to say things loosely that somebody else might."
Barbour said he doesn't know of anyone else looking to get into the GOP contest, but doesn't think it’s impossible either.
"As Rick showed, you can get in late,” Barbour said. “This field reminds me of the Democratic presidential campaigns that I've watched in the past, where there wasn't a real front runner and somebody who a year-and-a-half before the election didn't seem to have a chance came out and won a nomination.... That could happen on our side, even though we don't normally have a contest that looks like this."

I am yet to hear christians defending the safety net for the poor. Does evangeical mean you have to be a republican, mean spirited, hater of the democratic party. Last time I read my bible christians are suppose to pray for their leaders, speak up for the poor, widows, fatherless, and down trodden. To all christians our job is to preach Christ and his coming again. Do not allow politicians to use your pulpits to spew bias, hate, and division.
I don't find it surprising that one IGNORANT REDNECK would defend a fellow IGNORANT REDNECK as birds of a feather tend to flock together !!!
Hmmmmm,,,,,Republicans defending a remark against a Bush appointee that made the GOP, Karl Rove, and the entire Bush administration collectively sh_t their pants???? LOL
No one can make this crap up, The Republican Party is eating it's own tail DAILY!!!!
Blame the media. So Obama can "blame the media" for destroying the economy and causing unemployment? These half-witted conservatives are destroying our country. Perry really is George W. Bush dumbed down even further. If Rick Perry is "the best we've got," then we as a nation are truly on the fast track to being taken over by China. Lord, deliver us from ignorant conservatives (oops - I repeated myself there)!!!
Some help me, please. I know Barbour isn't any smarter than the guy he's defending, but did his statement regarding Perry's Benanke comments make any sense at all? I mean, I really tried to figure it out, but maybe I'm the dumb one.
@Larry Robinson..Was just reading over many comments and I really don't think you know me well enough to tell me to repent or i'm going to hell.I know you have many degrees, many businesses..yada yada yada and it is almost a given that you are probably worth more than me..But I am commenting generically on random politicians who are in the limelight and need to scrutinized THOROUGHLY before we choose them to be our leader..If you truly are a deacon or a preacher..or a religious zealot-Im not judging- dont you judge me buddy..You dont know the state of my soul..stick to what you know best..republican tea partiers...and with all your many many many accomplishments? Rock on...Just cause I disagree with the crazies on the right doesnt mean I'm goin to hell..how dare you Reverend!!!!!!! Try not to play God and cast me into the fires of hell LR..
No Rick 1103809.. You are not dumb, friend.....You are the smart one..You just never studied "doubletalk" as a second language..! :) I love when they call Barbour "Boss Hog" lol..
Mr. Perry was using "understatement" to explain what he, as a Texan would do by "treating him ugly". Combine that with the "Treason" statement, and it takes no imagination to understand what he meant.
Sorry, the "lamestream media can't be blamed on this one. Perry did it all by himself. He has many, many skeletons in his rather large closet. They are beginning to fall out as the door gets opened wider. I especially like his holier than thou stance, while apparently being involved in the "adult entertainment" world. He is looking more and more like a "do as I say, and not as I do" kind of guy. Just what we need.
