Jeeezzzzzzz...and Rick Perry continues to personify the legendary Aggie mentality - the stuff of jokes here in Texas - as he shows yet again why he's on the political short bus and unelectable as POTUS.
As for his ' message', I think this gives a better idea of how it's actually being viewed by most voters out there...

You may be correct Richard,,
But I think there is a spot on the stage for the likes of Rick Perry, Joe Arpaio, The Donald, or Hank Williams Jr.
Just like BHO makes room for the likes of Al Sharpton, Nancy Pelosi, George Soros, Rosie O'donnell, or Joe Biden..
Without these edge players, the voting booths would be under-used.
On a good year we get maybe 60% turn-out..
It's like adding chillies to the stew,, you don't really need them,, but what the hell...

Ol' " edge player" Ross Perot ensured WJC was elected POTUS twice - is that what we seek for 2012? 
I'm pretty sure it's what the party in power is betting on right now.
And so it goes...

That happens because an uninformed electorate doesn't know that Presidents are not popularly elected. The sheeple think that when they vote, they are voting for a man instead of a slate of electors. In 1992 Ross Perot won 19% of the popular vote but 0 electoral votes. In other words, until our system is different, don't waste your vote on an independent candidate.

Let me ask you a straight forward question,you really don't seem to like any of the Republican candidates,does that possibly mean you won't vote?.........
