It's important for Republicans to nominate someone who not only has a vision of how to create jobs, but who has done it. That's why I am endorsing Texas Governor Rick Perry for President.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Gov. Perry has led the way in Texas on creating an environment for job growth.
I think people are looking for a president who has views and who sticks to those views. So, I think Governor Romney, Governor Perry, Governor Huntsman are all terrific candidates. I think we got a chance to elect a real, executive leader.
It's important for whoever is governor to be somebody with a breadth of experience in life, in business, and in service.
I'll proudly stand with one of the great leaders this state and country have ever produced: Rick Perry.
Sometimes in this country, we don't focus a lot on people's experience and their resume. Mitt Romney would be the most experienced executive to be nominated since 1952. The fundamental task for the next president is going to be fixing things, cleaning things up, being a turnaround artist, if you will.
Westerners know the difference between a talker and the real deal. If Rick Perry wasn't right to be governor of Texas, why should he be president?
At the end of the day, I have one job requirement right now that's been given to me by the Republican Party and, I think, the American people, and that's to fire Nancy Pelosi.
Every American, whether Democrat or Republican, agrees that job creation and affordable energy will be crucial to our economic turnaround.
When it comes to the qualifications that we should demand of our president, to start with, we need someone who will take the job seriously.
Well, let me just say - I mean, I'm not a person who's going to vote for any of the potential Republican nominees for the presidency of the United States.
