Seems Perry is getting a rouse out of the socialist left in this country.
“In his two weeks as a presidential candidate, Rick Perry has done something that neither Barack Obama nor Mitt Romney could do: wake up the left.
Perry panic has spread from the conference rooms of Washington, D.C., to the coffee shops of Brooklyn, with the realization that the conservative Texan could conceivably become the 45th president of the United States, a wave of alarm centering around Perry’s drawling, small-town affect and stands on core cultural issues such as women’s rights, gun control, the death penalty, and the separation of church and state.
The epidemic of lefty angst isn’t just a matter of specific Perry policies though; it goes to the heart of the liberal worldview. His smashing debut on the presidential stage suggests that the victory of an urban liberal Democrat, Barack Obama, wasn’t a step toward a more progressive nation, but just a leftward swing of an increasingly wild pendulum, now poised to rocket to the right.
“His entry in the race is a signal and a wake-up call,” the Rev. Al Sharpton told POLITICO.
Perry, Sharpton said, “is looking to go to the O.K. Corral and start shooting. … Rather than the left get caught sleeping, we better load up, because he is bringing it.”
Here’s more from Sharpton.
Ok, never mind.
Truth is that the socialist left’s problem isn’t Perry, it’s the fact that their guy – Barack Obama – single handedly shoved their movement in the backseat, no, the trunk for a long time to come. 2010 was a complete repudiation of the their agenda by Americans and they’re looking to getting back to their conservative roots.
That sound you hear, the wailing and gnashing of teeth are sounds of a dying philosophy which has long since had it’s time to screw up this country.

1Perry is an unconventional campaigner. He doesn’t play the games. When he ran against Tony Sanchez, Sanchez threw the kitchen sink at him, outspending Perry 3 to 1. Didn’t work. Also, in the last election, the Texas press (which is basically left wing) complained that Perry wasn’t pandering to them. He told them flat out, why should he? They were not going to write anything favorable about him anyway.
Yeah, the left is afraid of Perry. They will portray him as “dumb”, not experience enough, too conservative (they mean he’s a radical Christian) and will do every thing they can to hit him hard.
If you have never met Rick, I advise you to try to do so. He is the epitome of a Southern gentleman but plays hardball politics.
