Rick Perry Climbs Back On The Horse

He’s Tanned, Rested And Knows What He Is Up Against This Time

As could have been predicted, Rick Perry picked himself up, dusted himself off and has climbed back up on his charger for another run at the GOP nomination for President in 2016. Get ready for the deliberate proliferation of fake cowboy imagery. The chic, connected people who deride places like Texas as the rear end of “flyover country” like to make fun of cowboys. They are throwbacks, Neanderthals and stuck in the 19th Century. It’s an easy kill-shot to write off a two term governor from Texas by highlighting the vogue, negative stereotypes invoked along with the post-modern critique of the cowboy as an American cultural icon. The Marlboro Man, according to this narrative, gave John Wayne butt cancer.

Breakout – Newt Interviews Former Texas Governor and 2016 Presidential Candidate Rick Perry

 

In this episode of the Breakout with Newt Gingrich podcast, Newt interviews former Governor Rick Perry, the longest-serving Governor in Texas history. Governor Perry served from December 2000 until January 2015. During his tenure, Texas became the standard-bearer for job creation in the United States. In just the past decade, Texas has created one-third of all jobs across the country. Individuals, families and businesses have come to Texas seeking opportunity and have found it in a state that understands that its citizens are the driving force behind a thriving economy. When you compare the success story of Texas to states such as California and New York, along with the current situation at the federal level in Washington, you begin to see just how stark the contrast is and why the rest of the nation would be wise to follow the Texas model.
