Texas governor Perry now feels ‘called’ for presidency


Some excerpts :

Meanwhile, Perry’s shrewd style of politics has placed him in an enviable position, if you’re a Republican seeking a presidential bid. With Perry’s announcement to run would come an immediate shift of momentum. Few athletes, or teams, can claim momentum even before the game starts, yet Perry will give Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, supposed front runner Mitt Romney, or any other Republican with dreams of sweet scents from the White House rose garden a new odor to deal with.

Not yet mentioned by anyone covering this developing story is the massive oil and gas industry in Texas, a highly likely supporter of Perry, should he make the decision to run. As most

Americans are familiar with by now, the oil and gas industry knows no state lines, so we’re talking a national, possibly international, uprising of support for the Texas governor who is unafraid to mix religion with his politics, another trait he shares with George W. Bush.

With Texas a perennial top-of-the-list state in poor air quality, it’s no secret Perry believes global warming is more closely related to weather variations than humanity’s impact on the planet.

After a legal challenge against the EPA last year, Texas emerged as the only state refusing to accept the environmental agency’s new rules on carbon dioxide and heat-trapping gases regulation.

Emerging for Republicans is a dog-and-cat fight unseen in political history. For Americans, higher education, life-sustaining social programs, transparency and clean air will be the ongoing battle cry.
