Texas Gov. Rick Perry, whose stock value might have fallen faster and more dramatically than any Republican in history, has decided to stop running for president.
We liken Perrys meteoric fall to the old silent movie-era actors once talkies arrived.
Yikes! was the response in both cases.

I agree but instead he called us “heartless” and it was all downhill from there.
Yes, I can see that you clearly know about those behaviors and that sage wisdom of yours about too old to change. Yes. I do see some obsessive-commpulsive going on, and that rigidity forever thing. Thank you for sharing. Another clinger I believe I put it, upthread. How’s that nit rolling goin’ for ya’, anyway?
It appears childish people like you never outgrow it either. I guess at your age you’re too old to grow up and mature.
Santorum may be a real Catholic but I doubt you are.

Santorum needs to put his ego aside, place his country before himself, drop out and go back to wherever he came from.
Rick Perry is twice the Conservative Santorum is!
He deserves the VP slot.
Since 2000 he has led the second largest state in the union on to be the most successful economically.
Perry stated that in his administration he would start all countries getting U.S. foreign aid at ZERO, until they proved to be our allies.
He was also the first to bring the war on religion to the forefront.
Take a look at RINO Santorums voting record:

Some are moved on pure emotion (absolute hate; absolute love) in politics. Thought never enters the picture. This is the conservatives’ “O baaaaa ma, O baaaa ma” representation. Screw them.
They damaged him close to half as much as his record and debating performance. And the only people who could not see the damage they were doing to his candidacy was them.
The BEST governor in all the states. Not perfect but who the hell is? I’m happy to keep him here in Texas. We’ve done better then most states, even as 0 ties Perry’s hands.
But it’s only a matter of time when 0 gets his claws in Texas’ because the fix is in again. The media control everything and then the fraud finishes it.
So sad for this great country. Happy to be old and most likely outa here before it finally crashes altogether.
I bet my deceased democrat grandfather is turning over in his grave. It’s one thing to be a real democrat of long-long ago compared with WHAT they are today. The communist/muslim party IMHO
However, the real Republicans have NO smarts or nads and they give in way too easy for whatever reason.
It doesn’t help that they don’t want to rile the left and they want to stay in the good grace of the leftist elite club.
I don’t know if I agree with that. He pretty much made his bed. Nobody could have a result like that with just complaining about a guy. I don’t think people are that powerful.
“The land and money grabbing scam of the Trans-Texas Corridor finished Perry for me. Plus his legacy of trying to turn our Major highways into un-Texican toll roads. Then when I heard he wanted to be President I prayed Please G*d, No! now my plea has been heard and answered. “
Right On!!! I supported Perry and voted for him in 1998. But once the Cintra people got a hold of him, and he went on his toll road spree...that was it for me. It still bites living in a state as conservative as Texas, and still having him as governor, but after this campaign, I think people even here (me included) know our governor much better now and he’ll find the political waters of Texas a bit more crowded.
