Perry Says He’s Too Busy For Presidential Run
Source: Associated Press

AUSTIN (AP) - Gov. Rick Perry said Thursday he is too busy concentrating on the Texas Legislature to think about the presidential buzz surrounding him this week.

“I try not to be distracted by any of it,” Perry said. The governor has repeatedly said he has no plans to run for president, and his top campaign consultant is currently working for Newt Gingrich, who entered the race last week.

A “Draft Perry 2012″ Web site went live late Wednesday, sponsored by California Assemblyman Dan Logue, R-Linda. Five other California lawmakers are listed as sponsors. Logue led a delegation of California lawmakers that visited Austin in April to see why so many businesses from the state had moved to Texas.

“I had the opportunity to sit and meet with Governor Perry and he explained that when he was first elected he made creating jobs and building the economy of Texas his No. 1 priority — and that’s the kind of vision and leadership our nation and economy so desperately needs,” Logue wrote on the site.

3. He's too scared...too much dirt out there on him.
There's no way he could survive a general election. "Creating jobs and building the economy of Texas" - that's a funny one. His first priority was to rape the state and open it up corps promising zero regulations.

4. What's in his background that he's hiding?
His 'foreground' is creepy enough, but I wonder. IMO, the more radical and fundie they are, and Perry is, the more they're hiding. Hypocrites, all.

7. The man is a freak. I'm sorry Texans, but I am glad he's yours and not
Kentucky's. However, if the GOPer nominee for Governor, David Williams, wins in November, we are as sunk as y'all. Williams is one scary dude.
