jack? >>> the question this hour is how would you compare rick perry and george w. bush? s, florida, jack, i'm a former texan, i was telling my husband last night that perry is exactly like bush. sounds like him. bobs his head like him. same ideas, same feigned religious fanaticism. all that jobs bs, i've been paying $4 for the last year, so naturally the oil state of texas should be doing good. don't get me started on the problems with texas. people should be very afraid of this man. marcia in west virginia, brother from another mother, clone, swagger, neither is representative of texas, liars. i could go on and on. doug writes rickie has executed more than -- rickie. executed more than 230 inmates. bushwhacked about 150. rickie is clearly in a league by himself. debra on facebook, with bush as president, i had one foot in canada. if perry wins, there goes the other foot. bud in virginia writes, they're both from texas, the best thing to come out of texas is interstate 10. don writes dumb and dumber. mark in new jersey, perry is apparently a taliban christian. bush kept h

at that, but republican primary voters have never heard of jack dalrimple, and they do know what they want to hear about taxes and rick perry and the rest of the republican candidates are going to give it to him. mitt romney who's now trailing rick perry will unveil his jobs plan next tuesday in nevada, a state with no income tax and the highest unemployment rate in the country, 13%. jon huntsman will unveil his jobs plan this wednesday at a metal factory in new hampshire, a state with no income tax, and, of course, a higher unemployment rate than north dakota. huntsman's campaign says scaling back regulation, including epa regulation, will be a major part of his jobs creation plan, because it will create certainty. joining me now is jonathan capehart, msnbc contributor, thanks for joining me tonight, jonathan. >> hey, lawrence, nice to be with you. >> jonathan, it's hard out there for a president trying to talk about the economy when you have these republican candidates able to say whatever they want, beginning with the really wild bachmannism of i can turn this whole thing around in 90 days. how can the president change h

jack for the cafferty file. >> how much does it worry you if michele bachmann and rick perry have ties to dominionism.the daily beast website. pat writes our nation was fun toed on separation of church and state. immigrants income to worship freely and without prejudice. i would never vote for either of them. decisions should be without religious bias. what is happening to this country. this is getting scary. ivan writes, as a jew and homosexual, i should expect funding for a national crematorium after 2012. history can be repeating itself from 1939. john in tennessee, many things about bachman and perry worry me, but not dominionism. the correlation between applied christian principals and this nation's prosperity is increasingly undeniable. history suggest this is t might be the most effective cure for what ails us. mike writes i don't care what they think. they are both snake oil salesman at the very best. what is more bothersome to me is many believe this junk. kevin on facebook writes sounds like a westernized version of the taliban. doesn't sound christian at all. it bothers me plenty. this domi

jack? >> the question this hour, is another religious conservative republican governor from texas the answer to our prayers? pun intended. rick perry'sxpected to announce saturday in south carolina that he's going to make a run for president. chris in buffalo, new york, no, jack. i think another unknown, inexperienced economically ignorant community organizer from chicago is the answer to our prayers, i mean, the first one's working out so well, isn't it? craig in washington writes, no, but there is a texas candidate that can at least get the ball rolling in the right direction and his name is ron paul. whenever people vote for there is no silver bullet in this and we all need to get over it. it took a team effort for us to screw this country up, and nothing short of continuing our founders' revolution will get us back to decency. even texas writes, did god tell perry to run for the presidency like the last conservative texan said? if so and perry gets in office, don't expect any difference between the two. i'm hoping god uses her sense of humor to derail the latest rhinestone cowboy's efforts to screw up the presidency like the othe

jack dalrymble should be your guy. joining me now is jim hightower, former agricultural commissioner of texas, and erica greider, for many this is their introduction, rick perry, of course, you ran against perry in his first successful statewide race, he beat you, how did he beat you and what did you learn from it? >> actually, chris, it wasn't he who beat me, it was carl rove. he recruited perry to switch parties from the democrats to the republicans in order to run against me. the chemical lobby and other special interests were offended in our state that i had promulgated pesticide regulations to help the family farmers an help the consumers to help farm workers. so they were out to get me. and karl rove basically sent perry to west texas to roam around from one county farm bureau meeting to the next to get him out of the way while he put $3 million in to one of his patented negative campaigns to come after me. he being karl rove. the significant thing about perry is he has become a formidable campaigner, but not anything really when you probe it all that strong. for example, he won't re-election last year as a governor of texas. he's now bragging about tha

jack on the road. >> wait a minute. >> millions, why should she leave. >> he was outside hanging out.
