Former Pakistani President Musharraf Certain Rick Perry Will Run for President?

It’s not often a former president — a former Pakistani president, that is — offers his prediction of who will run for president of the United States.
But during an interview on CNN’s The Situation Room, former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf told Wolf Blitzer that, after a meeting in Austin last week, he is fairly certain Texas Gov. Rick Perry will run for POTUS.
According to Blitzer’s blogpost following the interview:
That’s significant because the two men met in Austin last week.
The former Pakistan President said Perry invited him to “exchange views.”
I asked him if he thought Perry would run for president.
‘You need to ask him, but I think, I thought, I did get that impression,’ he said.
I pressed him.
“You came away from that meeting thinking he’s going to run?”
“Yes,” he replied.
Blitzer asserts Musharraf has “always been blunt” with him, and that the former Pakistani president second-guessed whether he should have admitted to being convinced Perry would run. “I hope I’m not violating the code of confidentiality that he wanted to maintain about that aspect” Musharraf reportedly told Blitzer.

JZS was correct by saying “ideology trumps common sense every time,” as seen below.
JZS advocates for the “greedy rich” to pay their “fair share” and “big oil” to lose tax exempt status. These opinions are not formed using common sense. Common sense tells me if operating costs increase, the product price increases. You will never hear “great news, due to the recent spike in oil we can now lower the price per gallon of gas.” The only sensible argument for increasing big oil taxes would be if you want higher gas prices.
Common sense also tells me the chance to advance are greater if my employer (greedy rich) has more money, as opposed to less. I’ve never heard “great news, our taxes went up, we can finally give you that raise” or “sorry, we have to let you go. Profit rose 12% and we can no longer afford to employ you.”
The problem is liberals do not think everyday common sense and political theory inter-twine. They say things like “it’s not the same thing”, or “it’s different” as seen in the exposing leftist videos. For example, leftist will tell you living within your means is wise, but if you apply that same standard to government your part of a “cult fringe” and you want push granny over a cliff.
Leftist also don’t subject themselves to the same standards they impose on everyone else. JZS has accused many of racism with no proof other than disagreeing with our first black president. Yet that lax standard do

Posted on July 21, 2011 at 11:08pmSPECKCHASER, I shouldn’t but I will respond to you. First of all you said,” JZS has accused many of racism with no proof other than disagreeing with our first black president.” No I haven’t. I think the Blaze archives posts so maybe you can find that quote. But you won‘t and you can’t because I’ve never said anything of the kind. Frankly, I’m sick of a lot what Obama has done and is doing. And I have a very low opinion of West and Cain, but that‘s not because I’m racist.
Second, big oil is making record profits, phenomenal profits. These are the largest companies in the world, and they are making more money than they ever have (you know how to Google right?). And gas prices are still sky high. There is a very low correlation between oil company profits and gas prices at the pump. The oil companies aren’t totally to blame I admit. There are a lot of buyers and speculators between the oil companies and the pump, and they are mostly to blame. But when the US subsidizes the most profitable companies in the world, while it takes food out of the mouths of poor school children, I object.
I don’t have enough space to make my point sufficiently, but companies simply do not hire more people when they get a tax breaks. That’s absurd. If you have enough employees to meet demand for the product you sell, you don‘t hire more people because you’ve gotten a tax break. You should be fired if you do! No, you pay extra dividends to stockholders.

Posted on July 21, 2011 at 11:45pmMusharraf has close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. As we all know, Muslims are on the verge of imposing Sharia law on this country. Musharraf’s connection with Perry is a well known fact and so his support of Perry comes of no surprise to those who have been reading Al Jazeera and connecting the dots. It’s a money connection -oil mostly- rather than a religious one but we all know oil is thicker than water. Once Perry assumes the Presidency with the help of Muslim population – which is assumed to now be over 20% of the US population – and the with threats and bullying methods by the Muslim Brotherhood to intimidate American – Perry will form an unholy alliance with Muslim countries, particularly Iran, and we’ll be on the precipice of the downfall of western civilization, as AM talk show hosts have predicted.
Frankly, I don’t see anyway out of this, given the power of Muslims. But I’m buying guns, ammo and food. And don’t forget! a gallon per day per person in you household. For a three person household, that’s a 1000 gallons for a year. You might need to buy a tank.

“….big oil is making record profits, phenomenal profits.”
Hey genius, do you have any idea what the difference is between profit and profit margin? It‘s obvious you don’t have a clue about macro or micro economics, but profit margin is high school material. The next time you’re crying about all their record profits, take a minute to see how much is being paid out in taxes alone. You can probably get away with spinning this on the HUFFPO or some other liberal rag, but don’t spin your bullsh*t here. It doesn’t fly.

Posted on July 21, 2011 at 9:13pmThe liberal media has attempted to paint Mitt Romney as the “Republican Establishment” candidate when the truth is exactly the opposite. The Republican Establishment disdains Romney (even though the Heritage Foundation was the original source supporting the ‘conservative’ idea of government mandates) and are looking for anyone else (who is not Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachman) to support.
Perry is the guy the “Establishment” wants. He is a career politician who will be nothing more than Bush 3rd. Oh, and as far as ‘flip-flopping’ goes, Perry was once a Democrat!
If you want to vote for an ‘outsider’ then support Mitt Romney. He is a proven “Leader” and problem solver in both business and government. And above all, nobody will ‘own’ Mitt Romney. He is his own man and is not the establishment candidate. He is however the only candidate capable of defeating Obama and re-invograting America.

Posted on July 22, 2011 at 12:50amPeople need to do some research about what Romney did in Mass. He was not attempting to design a government takeover of the entire healthcare system as Obama has done. He created a system to insure the uninsured so that the State would actually SAVE $, not spend TRILLIONS OF TAXPAYER $ as Obamacare does. Romney’s bill was 60 pages long, Obama’s was nearly 3000.
Romney will win because he is a problem solver. He saved the Olympics, he saved companies, he has succeeded at everything he has done. Our nation needs real LEADERSHIP!
Mitt Romney is the best LEADER running for President.
Rick Perry is a career politician.

Posted on July 21, 2011 at 8:21pmHello Abbygirl1994 – While I can appreciate your stance of not wanting to vote for anyone affiliated with the Bilderberg group, my concern is with the massive non-partisan support by politicians for Agenda 21. Of equal concern are the number of taxpayers who are unfamiliar with Agenda 21 and the astronomical amount of our tax dollars appropriated by Congress’ liberals and conservatives for programs of Agenda 21. Much of those appropriations are allocated to states which are making enormous headway in establishing global management ideologies and practices within their state government and local municipalities. I urge you, Abbygirl1994, to become familiar with Agenda 21 (if you are not already) and then encourage others to become aware. Read about Agenda 21 in all its hideousness at habitat.igc.org/agenda21/
