Texas Governor, Rick Perry is the "shiny new penny," in the 2012 Presidential race. He, in the latest Gallup Poll (as of 8-16-11), it shows: Rick Perry 29%, Mitt Romney 18%, and Michelle Bachmann 13%, has pulled ahead, to become the front runner. What does the "front runner" do on his first day? He says that the Chairman of the Federal Reserve (honestly a heinous institution, and poorly run, to say the least), Ben Bernake, was "almost guilty of treason," obviously a charge that carries a possible, death penalty (something for sure to come out later, Perry's Texas death prison rate, and how many times he has NOT "come to the aid". To be seen in another article). However, President Obama, who is out on a bus tour, for "jobs" (in reality, no pundit, White House Staff, or W.O.N.K. on the Hill, could say otherwise, that this is a tax payer, fund raising trip for Obama, right after the Iowa Straw Polls and Perry's recent announcement.), said the exact same thing, about the "far right/tea party" and that they were also guilty of treason, he just used six sentences to say it. Good politician, good speaker, and (aside from Bill Clinton) the best fund raiser in either party is Barack Obama.I digress, back to Gov. Rick Perry, and what is soon to be his problem. He will act like, will look like at times, and he will most definitely be attacked as, George W. Bush, and possibly G.H. W. Bush, too, one never knows today). When the constant comparison comes up, "Rick, Rick, Rick, Mr. Perry what do you say, that you are just another George W. Bush, big oil, big Pharma, wrapped in a different package?" Wow, if that question would have been asked by anyone, to Rick Perry today, what would he have said? "Well, I can understand your question, but I am Rick Perry look at my record, look at his." C'mon, what would he have said? It would have been, something like that, and then the next ten months, he would have been branded "George W. II"!
His answer should have been, "Are you kidding me? You are asking me, if my 10 years as Governor, all of the things I have done, and all the while I was not in the White House, or anywhere near Capitol Hill? I did not have anything to do with George W. Bush, but good business and taking care of my fellow Texans. However, now I am running and am planning on "winning" the White House. Once this happens, I will have to look out for everyone of my fellow Americans, not just Texans, so no, I am no carbon copy of George W. Bush. I hope that puts this question to rest." If he would say that, and just take his lumps, over a Monday thru a Friday news cycle, it would stick. The Democrats and President Obama, would come off seeming petty and just name callers.
One thing is for sure, this election cycle will continue to continue to get more and more ugly. Both sides are far, far away from being individuals and are not going to play fair, this is the game of politics. However, the Republicans will be shown the door, as this election is going to be historic. Every single vote will count, there are 14+ months to the election, many things can change. However, Rick Perry's campaign, as him being a "shoot from the hip" talker, and a politician who will be (and could eat up) all of the new found glory, falling on his face. Though, he will not even get to Florida, if he will not stick to the "I am not George W. Bush II" answer down, and get it down fast.
