Proof positive - After 8 years of Obama, Perry would be worse than Hillary, so we might as well accept Hillary if Perry is the opponent...God help us.
Most people don’t understand that if you want to become the President of the United States you have to be able to raise enormous amounts of money. Rick Perry is a great fundraiser in Texas but he has to branch out to get the money to win not only the GOP nomination but the general election. He does not have a personal fortune to fund himself like Mitt. Hence the high powered political operatives who are nationally connected to big money.
If Perry can’t raise the money to compete he is never going to be able to even be a contender. I’ll be curious to see how Freepers respond when Ted Cruz has to make some tough decisions about who to align with to raise money. And I’m sure he will
I like Rick Perry and I do not believe he is a RINO. He and Ted Cruz are both good solid conservative candidates and either one of them would be a good President.
Baaa! repubs good, dems bad. Baaaa!
Your point is unassailable. I guess we all have no choice but to vote dem now, or suffer your searing ridicule.
