Why I Support Rick Perry - by Sister One

Rick Perry "Politically Correct"

Those who revile Republicans who are critical of Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney need to stop believing that those two men are the only ones who can beat Barack Obama.

 "Republicans need to stop cutting each other down, and concentrate on beating Obama!" said one GOP  acquaintance. 

YES!  It is understood that  in order to keep our country from meeting a fate worse than death, what we must do in the presidential election of 2012  is to defeat the usurper, Barack Hussein Obama.  However, what good will it do our nation and the American people  to replace him with someone who will not bring about the necessary changes to correct the damage that has been done to our country. It is a ludicrous idea, and unfortunately, neither one of the two front runners. because of their previous histories, can inspire the confidence necessary, at least for this writer, to willingly cast a vote for either Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich.

Mitt Romney was groomed and raised to run for the presidency.  This is the second time that he has been a candidate, and since he dropped out of the race in 2008, he has been running for president.  His father, George Romney ran for the presidency and lost in 1968.  The Romneys are version of the Republican Kennedys of New England if there had been such a thing.  Their son will be president come hell or high water.  He has the right lineage, he has the wealth, went to the "right schools" and was a one term governor of the state of Massachusetts.  He lost a bid for the Senate to Ted Kennedy, and he lost a bid for the presidency to John McCain.  Mitt Romney is champing at the bit to be president.

This is Newt Gingrich's first run at the presidency.   I am old enough to remember a time when a man with Newt's "romantic" past would not have been considered as a candidate for POTUS, but times have changed. This is the "anything goes" Twenty First century.   Newt Gingrich is undoubtedly the most intellectual candidate in the field.  Not only is his intellect a factor in how people judge him, but he is extremely articulate as well.  He's the best debater of all the candidates, and in spite of the tremendous baggage he brings with him he is impressing many GOP voters. For the discerning voter,  there are any number of articles one can search on the Internet that aptly detail what has become known as "Newt Gingrich's Dark Side."  Newt Gingrich is an old time Washington insider.  Has he waited long enough to run for president?  There are too many people around with long memories who vividly remember those things that Newt wishes they'd long forgotten.
There are more than two candidates in this race, and to believe that only Mitt Romney and/or Newt Gingrich can beat Barack Obama is naive and ridiculous. As bombastic as the two are and as confident as they wish to appear, the fact is that the Iowa race is wide open and anyone can come from behind and win the Iowas Caucuses.

So how does one beat Barack Obama?  Recently Barack Hussein Obama  was named "The Worst President America has ever had." This is a man who from the onset apologized to the world for the actions of the country and the people who had elected him president. 

• He is a man who promised change and delivered none except for that atrocity commonly known as Obamacare.
• Our unemployment continues to be high.
• Our housing market is abysmal. 
• He has betrayed even those who elected him. What has Obama done for the 98% of Blacks who went out in record numbers to vote for him? Giving a few of them government jobs has not addressed the problems which exist in the Black community.

By shutting down the Keystone pipeline Obama has also failed the unions who have supported him all along.  Think of the job opportunities, union and non union jobs that have been killed as a result of his very political decision. 

Folks, at this point in time, Elmo the Muppet can beat Obama. If Republicans are serious about winning the presidential election of 2012, they must unite behind the one candidate who will make the changes required.  That man is Texas Governor Rick Perry, and Two Sisters From The Right, a truly conservative blog, stands behind him one hundred percent.

I'm supporting Rick Perry for the following reasons: 

• Rick Perry is the only candidate with lengthy governing experience.  He is a proven leader.
• He has a record of success and job building. The Star Telegraph, a Texas newspaper announced today that " Increased oil and natural gas production, buoyed by higher market prices and improving technology, has helped drive an economic recovery, which will result in a$1.6 billion surplus for the state of Texas." What he has helped do for Texas, he can do for the United States. 
•  Rick Perry doesn't shut down pipelines, he encourages oil and gas production and above all he seeks independence from foreign oil providers. 
• He creates jobs and puts Americans back to work.
• If any candidate knows how to secure the border it is Rick Perry. Unfortunately his pleas for help from the Federal Government and the Obama administration have gone unheeded. His plan is straightforward and simple. Put boots on the ground. Build strategic fences in the major cities which border Mexico, and use high tech equipment and air capabilities to patrol the isolated and difficult areas that need to be policed.

In an increasingly troubled world, where countries are engaged in civil wars, and we ourselves are at war, we need an experienced Commander in Chief. Not only did Rick Perry serve as a captain in the United States Air Force, he has commanded the Texas National Guard for ten years, many of those National Guardsmen have served in Afghanistan and in Iraq. Many lost their lives fighting for their country.   It is those National Guardsmen who serve as boots on the ground to protect our border. 

• Rick Perry is an Evangelical Christian, but in Texas, everyone has the right to worship freely.
• He is a fiscal conservative.
• He supports the First and Second Amendments.
• He is a strict constitutionalist who believes in states' rights. 
• Rick Perry is a common man, who is understanding of others and tolerant of others as well. He has strong beliefs but respects those who believe differently.
• Rick Perry is a doer, not a talker.    

Rick Perry might not have been born into a wealthy family. He went to Texas A & M University instead of some Ivy League school. He speaks with a Texas drawl, and as some have noticed sometimes drops his "g"s.  He is no silver tongued devil, but, Americans, look at what happened this last time when you elected one, hypnotized by his words and ignoring the very obvious about him. Stop making such an issue over Perry's so called gaffes, together they won't begin to compare to the sum of Obama/Biden gaffes that have been compiled by that administration in the last 3 years.

Until he surges ahead, or Heaven forbid leaves the race, my choice for President is Rick Perry.

The media is now in full preoccupation mode when it comes to Iowa. You'd think that there weren't 49 other states to be won!  I am  hoping that these folks put politics aside for a few days and go back to their respective homes to celebrate Christmas with their families. In our estimation, not even politics should take the place of rejoicing in the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is a time for Christians to celebrate the best gift ever given to us, and it came wrapped in God's love.

Go home everyone, and give politics a break for a few days.

On behalf of Two Sisters From The Right, these are our wishes for you.

Faith makes all things possible,
Hope makes all things work,
Love makes all things beautiful,
May you have all the three for this Christmas.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
