The only person who can stop Rick Perry is Rick Perry
John Ellis, who among many other things is a Republican political analyst, a blogger and a cousin to former President George W. Bush, nails the state of the GOP presidential race in a Business Insider column:
The Republican “establishment,” such as it is, is quickly coming to the realization that the 2012 GOP presidential nomination is Texas Governor Rick Perry’s to lose.
That establishment would prefer someone more electable, someone more like, say, Mitt Romney. But as Ellis points out, Romney is the guy that most Republican voters will choose only if they have no other viable choice:
“Romney’s problem is four-fold: he’s politically “fungible” (to put it politely), he’s from the wrong region of the country (New England), he’s of the wrong religion (Mormonism) and he’s too closely identified with Wall Street (Bain Capital). The Republican base would prefer to nominate a strong conservative, evangelical Christian from the Sunbelt who, at the least, shares their disdain for Wall Street’s reckless stewardship of the nation’s financial system.”
Know anybody like that?
Ellis predicts that after Labor Day, the GOP establishment will launch “a sustained negative campaign to destroy Perry with the party’s base.” We’ve already seen hints of that from Karl Rove, among others. Absent some major revelation, however, that effort isn’t likely to work. Perry’s persona and background align so closely with the desires of the GOP base that it will be very difficult to drive a wedge between them. If Perry can prove that he can perform on the national stage, the nomination is all but his and there’s nothing Romney can do about it.
And as Ellis points out, Perry will get that opportunity very quickly.
“Once Labor Day has passed, there will be five debates, in quick succession, on the GOP presidential candidates’ calendars. These will be important tests for Perry. If at the end of two or three, it’s clear that he’s every bit the equal of Mitt Romney on matters of policy and politics, then the Perry juggernaut becomes all but unstoppable. Romney’s “I’m the only electable one” argument will vanish and the party’s base will nominate one of their own. If Perry stumbles badly in the debates, Romney’s campaign gets a second wind.”
I agree wholeheartedly. The only person who can snatch the nomination out of Rick Perry’s hands is Rick Perry himself.

Matti,
What’s with you and Cheney? Do you write horror comics or something? You sound like something in a side show at the fair.
Cheney is a man of strong character who has served the US government most of his life. Because he is so intelligent and sharp on observation, presidents have needed him many times. He cuts to the quick and does not wait for karma, drugs or other stimulants to make a decision. I’m guessing but it sounds like you need all of those to get by.
Cheney does not. He is brilliant. That really “bugs” those who are not able to reach that level.

(Reuters) – The mayor of a Wisconsin town said on Tuesday a local labor council would have to reimburse the city up to $2,000 for a Labor Day parade if organizers exclude Republican lawmakers from attending.
The move in Wausau, Wisconsin, came after a county labor official said last week that Republican politicians were not welcome at the event due to their party’s stance against collective bargaining when state lawmakers voted to curtail it earlier this year.
Wausau Mayor Jim Tipple told Reuters on Tuesday that the decision to exclude elected Republicans “flies in the face of public policy.”
“This is not a political rally, it’s a parade, for God’s sake,” Tipple said, noting that taxpayer money is used by the city to pay for staging the event. Tipple’s office is nonpartisan, and he claims no affiliation with either political party.

JKL2, what I “think” we (we?) “should” do is moot. I KNOW good guys have been torturing bad guys, and bad guys have been torturing good guys as long as there have been good guys and bad guys. it’s like the death penatly in my book; in theory, it makes perfect sense (punitively speaking, not as a deterent, because homosapiens will never be deterred from commiting capital crimes). in practice, it is flawwed, unbalanced, and often counter-productive. bud for example, Khalid Sheik Mohammed; sure, torture him for the sake of torture. And when he’s convicted; throw him in the shark tank at Sea World, or the Bengal tiger cage at Zoo Atlanta (and sell it PPV). I’m just concerned about the busboy in Norway who got whacked by Mossad after Munich, or the random dude who got shipped to Egypt by the CIA. when you think about it, is there a difference between some family who got killed when a “smart bomb” took out their home in Bagdhad? or Thulsa’s “entire village”? what about the civilians who got hosed down by the Marines in Hadiatha? What about the civilians who die via Balckwater?

Otay. So I am embellishing about whole villages being wiped out by drone attacks. But not by much. There certainly have been a good number of civilian casualties involved including numerous women and children in these attacks. And that sir is an indisputable fact. To be honest I really have no problem with Obama going after them hard despite the inevitable collateral damage. I’m simply making the point that if it was Bush doing the same it would be all over the news on a constant basis about Bush being a baby killer, war crimes against civilians, etc. And I suspect even some of the most ardent liberals on this board are fair enough to know that this is true.

JKL2,
Yeah. I brought that up the other day 2. Kinda funny but all the rancor and all the protesting and all the opposition to the Patriot Act died the moment Obama came into office. Where dey at?-all the anti-Patriot act folks? Anti-patriot act or just anti-Bush? I aint heard a peep about the Patriot Act since the day Bush left office. And didn’t Obama make a campaign promise to repeal the Patriot act? Whatever happened with that?
Anyway I’m out for the evening. Tomorrow I will renew my quest to find out what happened to all the anti-war protesters, code pink, and all the anti-Patriot act folks. Who knows maybe they all got secretly raptured. I’ll look hard but I don’t expect to find any of em.

According to the folks at the PEW research center, Perry is pretty much the darling of the Tea Party crowd. Those who insist that the Tea Party’s fundamentally a libertarian movement will find it hard to explain their underwhelming support for Ron Paul. The Tea Party remains what it has always been, the craziest of the crazies.
By the way, I like the PEW guys. they’re non partisan. They publish the methodology used to arrive at the numbers they publish. All this strictly contrast with the Fox model where numbers are mysteriously extracted from Sean Hannity’s colon and water boarded till they’ll say anything the Fox crowd wants to hear. All across America , defenseless numbers are being beaten and tortured into submission. Doesn’t anybody care about the poor little numbers? Think of them alone in the dark crying their little decimals out.
