Texas Governor Rick Perry is trying to get back into the top-three category to remain competitive.
In the past two New Hampshire debates sponsored by ABC and NBC, Perry has appealed to the Tea Party Republicans, then labeled every other candidate (with the exception of Jon Huntsman) as Washington Insiders.
Perry lumps Congressman Ron Paul into the same misplaced indictment of Washington insiders. Paul is the quintessential Outsider in the machine. He has been the one gadfly troubling Big Government Everyone, both Democrat and Republican, since he first came to office in the 1970's.
His foreign policy has been dismissed as pacifist and foolish, almost like head-in-the-sand ostrich politics, but his focus on cutting spending drastically is resonating with voters who are tired of tax, spend, waste, wonder, and cry that is emanating from Washington and depriving the people of this country with a sound and stable government.
On top of the nonsense of misdirecting criticism of Big Government at Ron Paul, Perry actually suggested that he would send the United States military back into Iraq in the wake of growing sectarian violence, which has spread across the region following the final departure of American military envoys.
The American people have had enough of war, war, war. We do not want to play petty peace officer to a global growing fraught and froward with ethnic and religious conflict erupting into political anarchy and bloodshed.
Governor Perry wants to stop the bloated federal government from getting larger, then proposes on a whim to send troops back into "Mission Accomplished" Iraq? This man is more of a flip-flopper than the Moderate from Massachusetts Mitt Romney!
The GOP can certainly do better than Rick Perry, a Governor who has done an admirable job of leading his own state, but has no business taking office in Washington.
