Top 10 Reasons Rick Perry Could Win

Texas Governor Rick Perry (R) recently announced he was running for the Republican Party nomination for president of the United States.  He may just be dumb enough to win.  Here are my Top 10 Reason he could go all the way to get the nomination.

10.  He thinks man-made climate change is a hoax.

9.  Regarding the BP Gulf Oil Spill, he said, "From time to time there are going to be things that occur tha are acts of God that cannot be prevented."

8.  Thinks that a Commander In Chief can only be respected by the military if he has had military service.  Sorry Presidents Obama, Clinton, Franklin Roosevelt, Wilson, Taft, both Adams, etc.

7.  Flip flops on minor things like party affiliation.  He used to be a Democrat. 

6.  A governor from Texas?  How can that go wrong?  He seems to have lots in common with W, but has been called dumber and meaner.

5.  Has threatened the Federal Reserve Chairman with "ugly" behavior if he showed up in Texas.

4.  Perry strongly criticized the Obama stimulus, but used a big chunk of it to plug holes in the Texas budget.

3.  Perry has an amazing record of job creation--at Taco Bell and Burger King.  According to the Washington Post, Texas has more minimum-wage jobs than every state other than Mississippi, a superlative you brag about if you don’t care about what kind of jobs you create and are only trying to run up the numbers. 

2.  He wants to use predator drones to patrol the Mexican border. 

and the #1 reason Rick Perry could win, 

He has considered having Texas secede from the union.  Sounds like great presidential material.

Here are more reasons this "alledgedly closeted" homophobe could be our next president (did I not mention that before?).  They are thanks to Bob at I Should Be Laughing blog.
