Rick Perry May Run After All

[Landslide Lyndon]

He'd possibly be our best shot in the general election.

Have you gone hunting together?

A Perry/Scott ticket would be telling it as it is for the whole Republican Party. A buncha criminals and terrorists, basically.

How is Perry a terrorist? Because he said he liked Texan independence? Those crybaby Tibetans are terrorist too, then.

So Texas is the equivalent of Tibet: an independent state, forcibly annexed by a communist dictatorship.

Rick Perry is quite a tempting candidate for Republicans to nominate, but I'm just concerned that the Democrats would launch a smear campaign reminding voters of how bad the last two presidents from Texas were (although they weren't actual native born Texans but from Connecticut ).

Because stereotyping a state will definitely make independents vote democrat. That is the dumbest comment I have ever read on here.

Kind of like in 2004 when Bush insisted on referring to his opponent as 'the senator from Massachusetts', you mean?

I think the right term is "Massachusetts Democrat" or "Massachusetts liberal".

To be fair to Sanchez though, Texas was an independent state at one point, and when it tried to be independent again, it was forcibly taken back. I suggest brushing up on US history next time you decide to go into Hackmode and go after one poster, when the person he was replying too made a much worse comparison, calling Perry and Scott terrorists.

WTF? Have I stumbled accidentally into a Confederate Pride forum?

Nate Silver did a VERY good job explaining how a five-state split of Texas would impact the electoral college. Highly recommended reading.

I doubt he'll run.  If he did, I'd probably back him.

Because he is so moderate, huh?

...

In what world is Inks known for being a moderate?

Compared to a guy that advocated secession even you're moderate Phil.
