FROM OUR FRIENDS AT NEWSMAX: DON'T UNDERESTIMATE RICK PERRY (THE RINO, WHICH IS MY COMMENT)

This is the second item from today's Newsmax Insider Report.

2. John Fund: Don’t Underestimate Rick Perry

After repeatedly disavowing interest in running for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, Texas Gov. Rick Perry has sparked speculation about a White House campaign with his recent comment that he is going to “think about” running.

And Wall Street Journal commentator John Fund says his potential candidacy should be taken seriously.

Perry has planned four out-of-state political trips this month and is replacing Donald Trump as a speaker at a dinner for New York Republicans on June 14, Fund reports.

He vetoed a bill that would have required online merchants to collect sales tax from Texas residents, a move that pleased anti-tax groups. And he has proposed a budget that calls for a $15 billion cut in state spending over the next two years. Fund notes that cuts of that size are “sweet music indeed” for Republican primary voters.

Perry assumed office in 2000 and is the longest-serving current U.S. governor.

Fund acknowledges that a Perry run for president “seems implausible,” since he has not even formed an exploratory committee or raised any money for a federal campaign.

“But as the liberal Texas Tribune points out, Mr. Perry shouldn’t be underestimated,” Fund observes.

That paper noted that Perry has never lost an election, clobbering Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison in the 2010 Republican gubernatorial primary, and his state is responsible for the great bulk of the nation’s new private-sector jobs.

Fund observes, “Perry knows how to play the base of the Republican Party like a finely tuned musical instrument.” (EMPHASIS IS MINE)

Never forget that he crushed the decision of the unanimous TX Senate and House vote to prohibit TSA invasive patdowns in Texas, or that he went to Istanbul and met with the Bilderbergers for vetting in 1997, for a presidential election when the time was right. He is also responsible for forcing Gardasil innoculations on all Texas girls despite the fact of well publicized warnings that this vaccine carries grave illnesses and deaths.

THE BEST OF THE BEST, NOT THE LESSER OF THE EVILS NEXT TIME!
