Rick Perry
The current Texas Governor, Rick Perry, announced his candidacy for President on August 13, 2011, and looks like he is in line for the number one spot in the 2012 Presidential Campaign. Perry, a committed conservative, grew up in a small, rural town called Paint Creek, where he worked on the family farm, played football and was a dedicated Boy Scout. Perry actually went to Texas A&M University and was an Aggie Yell Leader for the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Corps of Cadets, graduating with the class of ‘72. Perry then enlisted in the Air Force, but was honorably discharged 5 years later with the rank of Captain. Perry went back to his home town and ended up marrying his high school sweetheart, and a few short years after had a son and daughter. After Perry went on to serve three terms in the House of Representatives, he took the spot of Agriculture Commissioner and served two terms there. Perry then ran for Lieutenant Governor of Texas and two years later became Governor, when George W. Bush resigned to become President. Perry is now following in Bush’s footsteps once more, trying to become President of the United States. Perry wants to open more job opportunities, control spending and cut taxes.
Perry has a very respectable record on job creation; more than 40 percent of the jobs created in America were created in Texas. In order to do this he came up with incentive funds to make employers want to create jobs. Perry also financed billions in education to open more job opportunities. He has created a job climate that is continually ranked one of the best in America. This was made possible by Perry’s support for regulations, taxes, educated workforce and a civil litigation system.
America is going downhill drastically; for the first time in history, America’s credit is being downgraded. Perry has a completely different vision for America than Obama and his administration. Rick Perry is a financial conservative and has been in constant control of the spending and the

    George Walker Bush, also known as junior, was an average student, a good baseball player and served as president of his fraternity during his time at Yale. He built a company when he was in his 30’s called the Bush Exploration and it thrived before going downhill and combining with Spectrum 7.

    I analyzed a political cartoon from the Star Ledger about Chris Christie and his race for becoming president. The political cartoon shows Christie and a man, who is probably his campaign manager. His manger is telling him that his run isn’t doing well, that he is low on money to continue to support his campaign, and that he should probably go back to New Jersey. He is saying this because Christie only got one percent support in the recent debate, and with his he was disqualified from this debate. Christie is replying to his manager’s remarks with a negative attitude, saying that he doesn’t want to return to New Jersey, claiming that New Jersey is “a mess”. The reason that New Jersey is a mess is because its governor hasn’t done a good job in…

    The centre point of the Presidential Election was the economy. The Democrat’s Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act which was a stimulus package worth $768 (USD) billion that included tax cuts, investment in education, infrastructure, energy research, health and other programmes that would benefit the economy. Obama also bailed out the US auto industry and signed trade agreements with Colombia, Panama and South Korea. However the Republican’s Romney planned to centre on tax cuts, repeal of Obama’s 2010 healthcare reform law and the repeal of 2012 Wall Street and banking regulations. Romney argued that reduction in regulation would stifle economic growth. In response to Obama’s actions and Romney opposed the auto industry bailout and proposed to reduce federal spending significantly. Issues such as the auto industry bailout is a reflection of individualism, Romney emphasised the need of self-reliance from within the industry whilst Obama did not. However overall both candidates agreed that the economy was in dire need of repair.…

    People may say that his new tax plans are weird and even bad for this country because it seems that it only benefits those who are rich. People used to criticize president Obama because people think that he had brought the U.S economy down, he took America to a bad position. Now, here is a chance. Here is someone who can possibly bring the U.S economy back up. The reason why I said this is because of his achievements are there. His actions actually improve the economy in Florida by so much. I believe that if he did it back then, he will do it later too. I believe that he has his own ideas, and he knows what does this country want, thus bring back the economy. So, Jeb is a very good candidate choice if you want a good president, take time to get to know him, or at least take a look at him, you won’t regret…

    a. I don’t think small farms deserve more or less when it comes to collecting subsidies. Of course larger farmers are going to receive more. They produce more product therefore they’re at a higher risk. It is a shame that small farms don’t feel they receive enough but in reality, the larger the farm, the more they produce. Organic foods, Fruits, Vegetables, Grains, etc… are always going to be at a high demand. With that being said, larger farms who produce more should receive a higher pay out.…

    He served as a lawyer, and was a well-known, award-winning debater, although, his first official political gig was in 2000 when he served as George W. Bush’s political adviser during his presidential campaign. Later, in 2013, he became a senator for the state of Texas. So all though fairly new to the game, he knows how to get get elected, and there is one group that is incredibly instrumental in all of his political success: The Tea Party. This ultra conservative and quite controversial organization started in 2004 with a movement they claimed began in 1773 with the “brave souls of men and women” during the Boston Tea Party, hence their name. They are rooted in the fundamental truths of the constitution and are extremely evangelical, for they desire to implement the Christian teachings of the Bible into moral code of our country. Although this traditionalist group has aided him tremendously in the smaller-scale elections, it may prove to be a vice in the largest election this country has to offer. Like I said before, we live in a new world. It is more current,and far more progressive,…
