Rick Perry May Run After All

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Why do you think he would do so badly? He has a successful record of job creation and economic growth in his state, has the charisma and the looks to be elected president, and wide experience with public service.

He is one of the reasons I stopped sporting the blue avatar last year. Cronyism, TexDOT and TexDPS are terribly run, he supported the trans-Texas Corridor. And then his most evil trait, him and the death penalty:

Cameron Todd Willingham was executed in 2004 for allegedly starting a fire to murder his children. Investigators found no evidence of Arson and yet Perry had this to say before he allowed him to be executed

Even though there was scientific evidence to the contrary.

Another tragic case is Robert Lee Thompson. He and some other guy held up a convenience store. the other guy shot the clerk killing him. key part of the story here is Thompson DID NOT SHOOT THE CLERK. Well the actual shooters jury gave him life in prison. Thompson, who we all should know by this point did not shoot anyone, was given the death penalty. Despite the parole board recommending that Perry commute his sentence because he didn't kill anyone, Perry wanted to look tough on crime an refused. 

There is no reason to like Rick Perry.

I believe Perry already broke a record for most executions under one Governor.

I believe Perry already broke a record for most executions under one Governor.

Which has something to do with him breaking another record among Texas governors: length of service.

Naturally. Dubya was well over 100 in six years, because executions, especially in Texas, were more frequent in 1990s than 2000s and 2010s.

We never saw the map, as I recall, but they did mention in passing how only a handful of states voted.

And total number of electoral votes, if I recall correctly.

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.

Those damn communists John Tyler and James Knox Polk!

But at least Texans bravely resisted annexed by the Union of Soviet American Republics!

But it wouldn't be today, and they are the only state that legally has the right to leave the Union.

Isn't that just an urban legend?

So, in the unlikely event that he were elected President and the Lt. Governor were elected to the Senate, who would take over as Governor of Texas?

It's unlikely only in one half, since Dewhurst seems have KBH's seat in his hands already.
