Thanks Amil...I know I can trust your investigative abilities on this.
Thank you so much for a well written, easy to understand article on this subject. Keep up the good work!
This has been a troubling issue for me as I am interested in supporting Gov. Perry.
There is so much false information being floated around it is sometimes difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff. Thank you for your clarification of this issue.
In my opinion, this article debunks any negatives about Gov. Perry and any Islam connection.
Conservatives are always looking for the next Ronald Reagan -- never more than now. The existential threat that Obama poses to our nation does not give us the luxury of another John McCain. We need someone who will blow Obama away in 2012. The business of unseating Obama is truly a matter of national survival. I humbly submit that Rick Perry is our latter day Reagan.
Perry's heavy involvement with social issues and his immigration politics are a little too reminiscent of the last Texas governor in the White House. I would need to know a lot more about him. What is the Tea Party read on Perry?
Perry is also very charismatic and is an excellent speaker. He does not need a teleprompter like Obama. He would look and sound great standing next to Obama in a debate. And Texas under Perry is doing the best in the nation in the economy. Businesses are moving to Texas right and left. How can you question that?
We will never find a perfect candidate and anyone who claims they could never support Perry (or any other republican) makes the assumption that they would support Obama if they don’t get their way. We need to shake off that presumption, as Rush points out, Elmer Fudd (R) should be able to beat Obama.

Perry can definitely get the nomination and could easily beat Obama; that is the overriding facts. Like any public service individual, especially with a long track record, some of it as a democrat, a person will have made decisions that don’t appeal to everyone on either side of the isle. We need to shake off the nit-picking and envision the end results.

Will Perry do the following in the field of foreign affairs? Manage the US military in the best interest of America? Reestablish respect for America in the world? Stop supporting Islamic terrorism through the brotherhood? Respect Israel’s right to exist? Support our true allies and instill fear in our enemies? Protect our borders from daily
foreign invasions? Protect America from the intrusion of the UN and its “new world order”? Appoint responsible people in the thousands of federal positions now controlled by Obama: (State, Justice, Homeland Sec and the myriad judgeships).

I believe that Perry would make those decisions in the best interest of America and any nits that could be picked in his past would not deter him from having the best interest of America always in the forefront. The simple fact is that Perry could beat Obama and he would immediately reverse everything the bamster has inflicted on this country both foreign and domestic
A large group of us Texans feel that if this country is going to be saved it will be by Governors, not by any elected official in Washington. The elected government there does not seem to have the will or the power to control the "permanent" government.

Texas still has some degree of freedom and, thanks to the oil industry, a good economy. We feel we are under assault and long for a Governor who will go head to head against Washington. We don't mean taking some agency to Federal Court, we mean a real stand. Like telling the EPA to get the hell out of Texas and stay out. Like mobilizing our own troops and defending our own borders. Nullification, nothing less. Perry has at times come close to sounding like he will stand up but then nothing happens and the rot continues.

His timidity may be justified, mass movements, once started, will run their course and the consequences can be horrendous. I think this fear of a mass movement is the reason for the absolute paranoia on the part of both Democrat and Republican leadership about the "Tea Party". I think he is afraid to inflame passions and set loose something that he can't control. Texas is a powder keg waiting for a match, it would not take much to start a rip-roaring secession movement here.
If he were an Islamophile, Islamic apologist, or anti-Israel, that would be the only reason to oppose him, but I am getting tired of all these other alleged negatives.
