Rick is a true patriot and conservative. I wish he had done better.

Ok, who didn't see this coming?

I mean sheesh, did Rick Perry ever recover from not remembering the three Government Agencies he said he'd defund and eliminate in the 2012 election?

Then there was his announcement a few weeks ago that staffers in South Carolina weren't getting paid and he was "suspending" is campaign in South Carolina to focus on Iowa.

Doesn't take alot of brains to figure out Perry never had a chance from the get-go for 2016.

I agree. He’s a good guy most of the time, but this is not his time.

The nation is tapped out for accepting illegal immigration anymore. Perry, having been gov. of Texas could not and had no power to stop the Federal Government’s foreign invasion game. Perry did not like it, but did the best he could with it’s reality.

He tried to protect our voting rights and exclude non-citizens by requiring a documented drivers license. He did not buy into the Obamacare program and took a lot of heat from the uniparty. God Bless him.

I’m sorry to learn this. I liked Rick Perry. He had some debate problems, and that doomed him. Overall, he was/is a fine man with tremendous conservative cred.

err...He was never a serious Republican candidate for POTUS contender.

If I have to explain “why” that is to you, you would refuse to comprehend it anyways.

His heartless “oops” moments were well known before he attempted to enter the national stage.

He and Jeb Bush can party hard together elsewhere, together.

Not really. Rick and Katy both share more political positions with Barry than not. Both support illegals. Both support danderios vaccines for young girls, Both have membership in the Dem party on their resume. Both perform fantasy entertainment routines for adoring for fans. Both are known for their hairstyles. One has big boobs and the other is a big boob...

He’s lived a pretty good life for somebody with a double digit IQ. He can hold his head high

Totally agree. For a man with mild mental retardation, Perry has really gone far. Inspirational!

I can’t see Suckabee dropping out before Iowa. I could see the other lard ass, Christie, maybe hanging it up.

Santorum should but he’s delusional, poor bugger.

Pataki and Gilmore shouldn’t even be running.

When I first saw this, I had a twinge of compassion for his disappointment. Then I heard his name calling in his announcement. This couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy.

you are presumptuous...... patience please.

several months of clearing the muddy waters will be needed to determine who can make Rick the best offer in the new administration
