Texas Republican governor Rick Perry continued his trek towards the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, launching a series of media interviews over the weekend in a bid to capture momentum as polls

Speaking on Fox News, the Texas Republican sought to reassure cheap jerseys Republican voters that he is up to the task of taking on President Obama in the 2012 general election, saying he would seek to draw a sharp divide

“I’m not worried a bit that I’ll be able to stand on the stage with Barack Obama and draw a very bright line,” Mr. Perry said.
The Texas Republican defended his voluntary flat-tax proposal, cheap soccer jerseysembracing the fact that it could result in trillions of dollars less in revenue than the current tax code.
“There’s nothing wrong with lower revenue,” Mr. Perry said. “I don’t want more revenue in Washington, D.C.’s hands. I want more revenue in the private sector job creators’ hands.”
Speaking on Fox News, Mr. Perry struck a similar tone, custom made jerseyssaying Republican voters would eventually embrace his plan.
“People are just getting their arms around our “Cut and Balance and Grow” plan where we talk about 20 percent flat tax, where we talk about how to cut the spending, how we grow this economy.,” Mr. Perry
said. “I think when Americans take a look at that, they’re going to go — you know what, not only is it a great plan, this fellow has got the record as the governor of Texas for 10 years of doing it.”

“We got a great debater, a smooth politician in the Rolato White House right now, that’s not working really good for America,” Mr. Perry said.
The Texas Republican added that he plans to attend a series of upcoming debates, a change in tone from just days earlier when his campaign issued a statement noting Mr. Perry would remain on the campaign trail
during the month of November.
“I readily admit I’m not the best debater in the world<” cheap nfl jerseysMr. Perry joked Sunday. “With as many debate as we got coming up, I may end up being a pretty good debater before it’s all been said and done.”

“From my perspective, he’s lost standing from the standpoint of being a commander-in-chief who has any idea what’s going on in those theaters,” Mr. Perry told Fox News host Chris Wallace. “What’s more,
Obama is creating confusion among U.S. allies with his “wavering or aimless approach to foreign policy.”
