Even Rick Perry's Staff Can't Keep Perry From Saying Stupid Things. Perry has a problem Remembering and is constantly putting His Foot in his Mouth. However ff he is well scripted and prompted he looks great, but when he leaves the world of script, like his fellow GOPer George W Bush, he struggles to speak/communicate and remember key points.

Perry will do well in South Carolina the Twilight Zone, the heavy of U.S. Politics and the U.S overall. "South Carolina & the Deep South". Unlike the rest of the U.S... Has "The Southern Way of Thinking", Conscience,Principles, Values, Right & Wrong, Politics, and Religious Views are "totally different" from the mainstream USA ... SC Southerners will look you straight in the eye and Call You Crazy if you are not from there or think like they do ... (They should look in a mirror ... lol)... A small state (with small minded people) with less than 1.5% of the US pollution can cause big problems for GOP hopefuls, and always has.

Perry's Positions...

Fiscal Policies NG in Texas & Capitalism No Sir ...
Perry has highlighted the economic success Texas achieved under his governorship, although the true success of his policies has been questioned.
Texas began borrowing money in 2003 to pay for roads and will owe $17.3 billion by the end of 2012, increasing total state debt, from $13.4 billion in 2001 to $37.8 billion in 2011.
.
In 2003, Perry signed legislation that created the Texas Enterprise Fund, which has since given $435 million in grants to businesses. The New York Times reported that many of the companies receiving grants, or their chief executives, have made contributions to Perry's campaigns or to the Republican Governors Association. Sounds like George W Bush tactics.
