The article focus on the life and political career of Texas Governor Rick Perry. Topics include his educational and family background, his involvement in the U.S. military, his role in building up the Republican party through Texas business and politics, and motivations for his presidential campaign for the U.S. 2012 presidential election. It is suggested that Perry values his personal goals above ideological goals and that the campaigning and political battles associated with American politics attracted him to run for the U.S. Presidency.
