Why Rick Perry is headed to the White House
Why are Americans gearing up to elect another Texan for president? asks fellow Texan James Moore, an Emmy-award winning former news correspondent and co-author of the best-seller, "Bush's Brain." Although Perry "hates to govern, loves to campaign, and barely has a sixth grader's understanding of economics," writes Moore, his "coyote-killer good looks, $2,000 hand-tooled cowboy boots, supernova smile and Armani suits will create a product Americans will want to believe and buy."His prediction had many CNN.com readers planning to leave the country.

He's scary because he's successful at being Governor. Plus he looks like another Ronald Reagan.
I'd be scared too if I supported that pencil-neck in the White House.
Heck your average Student Body President has shown more leadership and class then Obama.
Perry has more actual leadership then Obama will ever have.
One of Perry's accomplishments.
Rick Perry's NAFTA Superhighway Problem
8/12/2011
Rachel Alexander
Move over Mitt Romney. Rick Perry has a bigger problem to defend from his tenure as governor. Remember the NAFTA Superhighway project? It was to consist of a two-mile wide $184 billion transit system of toll roads, rail lines and utilities from the Texas-Mexico border all the way up to the Minnesota-Canadian border, to make it easier to ship foreign goods from China and other countries into North America. It became so unpopular in Texas that the Texas portion of it, called the Trans-Texas Corridor, was renamed and mostly disbanded a couple of years ago. Perry was the only gubernatorial candidate in 2006 of four major candidates who supported it. Even the Democratic candidate opposed it.

Perrys campaign website lists the Trans-Texas Corridor as one of his accomplishments, http://www.rickperry.org/accomplishments/transportation Rather than taking decades to expand these important corridors a little bit at a time, Governor Perry developed the Trans-Texas Corridor plan.But is it something Perry really wants broadcast as an achievement?
The Texas Republican Partys 2010 platform includes a plank specifically opposing the Trans-Texas Corridor. https://www.1888932-2946.ws/TexasGOP/E-ContentStrategy/userfiles/2010_RPT_PLATFORM.pdf Some of the opposition to the NAFTA
Superhighway has been dismissed as conspiratorial, but loud objections also came from people concerned with border security and one million rural interests and farmers that stood to lose their land to eminent domain.

Wasn't that plan scrapped?
