When I make a vow to God, then I would suggest to you that's even stronger than a handshake in Texas.
Rick Perry
Image
Being the Republican front-runner was three of the most exciting hours of my entire life. I've come to grips with it, and the only lasting effect is that I refuse to go on a stage that has more than one podium on it.

I am also the product of a place called Paint Creek. Doesn't have a zip code. It's too small to be called a town along the rolling plains of Texas. We grew dryland cotton and wheat, and when I wasn't farming or attending Paint Creek Rural School, I was generally over at Troop 48 working on my Eagle Scout award.

We've got the wind at our back right now. Americans are waking up to the realities of their previous choices. We must keep America moving back to preeminence because our values and conservative ideas are the world's greatest hope.
Rick Perry

It's time to bring tough medicine to Washington. No longer will policy be set by K Street, it will be dictated by Main Street.

I didn't say I was running, did I?
Rick Perry
Image
I grew up in a house with no running water, 16 miles from the closest place that had a post office. I had a very parochial view of the world.

ISIS represents the worst threat to freedom since Communism!
Rick Perry
Image
I am going to give the American people a huge helping of unbridled truth: that we can't continue to spend what we are spending, that we can't avoid entitlement reform because we are afraid of third rail politics.
Rick Perry
Image
I'll work every day to try to make Washington, D.C., as inconsequential in your life as I can.
