Second Quarter! Question of the Week #1 - Rick Perry

Contrary to most people, I actually really like Rick Perry. The fact that he usually can't keep track of what he's saying is probably a major reason why he would not win. Also, many people think he is a little too much of a hard core Conservative - he has some radical ideas such as closing off the borders that most people don't agree with. 

However, ideas such as his Flat Tax (everyone pays 20% income tax - richer people pay less, poorer people pay more compared to progressive) really appeal to those on the right who want a fairer taxing system (fiscal conservatives). Also, the fact that he has lots of prior political experience is only helping him out; as the Governor of Texas he has a good record of creating new jobs - something the US needs very badly.
