Rick Perry can turn his campaign around if he just follows the lead of John Kerry.\u00a0 In 2004, Howard Dean was leading the Democratic pact.\u00a0 Kerry, as we all know, is a lousy debater.\u00a0 He was far behind.\u00a0 But he turned it around when during a debate he reminded people that they were there to choose a President.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Here is what Rick Perry needs to say:<\/p>\n
\u00a0We are not here to elect the Quipster in Chief, but rather the Commander in Chief.\u00a0 There is more to the Presidency than giving cute 30 second responses to questions on complex and difficult issues.\u00a0 The real question is which candidate has the experience necessary to handle the job of President of the United States.\u00a0 This is an executive job which requires executive experience.\u00a0 That is the reason so many of our most effective Presidents have been Governors of large states.\u00a0 We have already paid a bitter price for electing someone with no executive experience to be our President.\u00a0 We can\u2019t afford to repeat that mistake.\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/strong>I have been the Governor of a large state for over 11 years.\u00a0 My state has prospered during my term in office.\u00a0 I have governed consistently as a conservative. \u00a0\u00a0If you want to know how I will govern as President, you need only look at my record as Governor of Texas.\u00a0 My question is:\u00a0 Are we here to elect a President, or a Chairman of the Debate club?\u00a0 This election will not be decided by who does the best job in a debate with Barack Obama.\u00a0 It will be decided by which candidate the American people believe can turn this country around and restore hope in the American dream.\u00a0 I believe I am that candidate and I ask for your support.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n I fear we are on the verge of making a huge mistake because no one is asking the right questions.\u00a0\u00a0Are we really going to let the main stream media, including Fox News, choose our candidate based on this bizarre\u00a0unending series of meaningless American Idol style debates.\u00a0\u00a0I have never heard one moderator ask the candidates what executive experience they have, yet this is the most powerful executive position in the world.<\/p>\n This is the most important election of our lives.\u00a0 Shouldn’t we be looking at the best person for the job first?\u00a0 The American people deserve better than this.\u00a0 No Fortune 500 Company would ever consider someone as CEO who did not have significant prior executive experience.\u00a0 Two of our candidates, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum have zero executive experience.\u00a0 It is time to decide if we\u00a0are choosing a President or a cheerleader?\u00a0 If the race ends up between Romney and Gingrich or Santorum, we won’t actually have any choice at all, because only one of the three has the type of executive experience necessary to do the job.<\/p>\n TDM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rick Perry can turn his campaign around if he just follows the lead of John Kerry.\u00a0 In 2004, Howard Dean was leading the Democratic pact.\u00a0 Kerry, as we all know, is a lousy debater.\u00a0 He was far behind.\u00a0 But he … Continue reading
