Texas may have two well-known Republican candidates running for president, and some say Gov. Rick Perry and U.S. Rep. Ron Paul are "diametrically opposed" to one another. The real battle between them isn't over money. It's over ideas.

You Go Ron Paul and Debra Medina, we're still here waiting for you...
For the people and not the good hair!

There is NO comparison between Perry and Paul.
Perry is a sellout. A trans Texas Corridor pushing, land grabbing, sovereignty selling, Bilderberg attending, Logan Act violating, cancer causing vaccine pushing, non border protecting, phony conservative, that will continue to sell the American people down the river.
Paul has a 30 year record of fidelity to the Constitution, fidelity to his wife of 50+ years (ehem...Rick? not so much). He is the ONLY military veteran, with the MOST contributions from the military both THIS time and LAST time. He's the ONLY doctor. He's the ONLY economist. He the ONLY one who is honest and has a record to prove it.
The difference between a politician and a prophet applies here.
A politician sits on the hill and waits to see which direction the crowd is moving, and then runs out in front of them and says "Hey y'all come on this way".
A PROPHET stands on the hill and says "HEY...y'all are GOING THE WRONG WAY!!"
Ron Paul has been right all along.
Don't get fooled again America.
Keep voting for the nicest hair and the smoothest speech, and we will continue to get what we deserve.
Our country is on the verge of collapse. We are bankrupt. We borrow 43 cents of every dollar spent. The system will collapse under its own weight. If we give this election to another sellout like Perry, or Obama then we will have Greek and Egyptian style riots in the streets. If you think it can't happen here, then you are sadly mistaken. It's already well on its way to happening.
If Ron Paul DOESN'T win, then we ALL LOSE.
Restore the Constitution.
Restore some integrity to the White House.
Restore america NOW!!

How many chances have we given Rick Perry to do the right thing? All we get is a dog and pony show....

I still see no correlation between fidelity and governing a state or doing your jobs.
