GREENVILLE, S.C. - Former Gov. Rick Perry is joining a new group that plans to organize veterans in support of Ted Cruz's presidential campaign.
The group, a super PAC known as Keep the Promise to Veterans, will allow Perry to ramp up his involvement in Cruz's presidential effort after endorsing the U.S. senator from Texas last month. Perry, an Air Force veteran, has already recruited some supporters of his own to help with the super PAC: former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell, Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer and Taya Kyle, the widow of Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle.
"As you know, Gov. Perry's passionate about veterans' issues, and he wants to make sure that veterans issues do not get lost in the discourse and decided that getting involved this way would be an ideal way to keep veterans issues at the forefront," said Kathy Walt, the treasurer of the super PAC and a former chief of staff to Perry.
Keep the Promise to Veterans was officially formed Thursday, according to records with the Federal Election Commission. It is listed as affiliated with three other pro-Cruz super PACs organized under the Keep the Promise umbrella.
Thanks for posting the pic of La RAza Rick....who is now recruiting for CRuz.
If this doesn’t scream Open Borders/Cheap Labor Express connections for CRuz, I don’t know what does.
I think you have him confused with Trump, who claims he has switched from Democrat.
South Carolina was where Rick was going to cut 3 Departments but out of all of in the Federal Government he could only come up with 2.
(Some) FReepers are either over-rated as politically savvy or are easily led by flashy lights and celebrity.
Okay, so it is okay for La Raza Rick to be an ex democrat, but not okay for Trump.
Do I have that right Mizz Joy?
It’s tragic that some here, of all places, can support such a man when there is a far superior champion of liberty and the Constitution, Mr. Cruz. Actually, to me it’s horrifying.
RR was an ex demoncrat, but he didn’t weave all over the road (left/right/left/right...) like a drunken reprobate.
On FR, to read that is sickening.
No, but you are the one slamming Rick Perry for switching, when your candidate claims that he has. I don’t believe him. That is why Trump has the support of Reid, Carter and Elizabeth Warren.
I asked yesterday why Trump would give $50K to Rahm Emmanuel. No response, except “Nah nah, I can’t hear you.” Total irrationality to support such a man who ranted, “Kill, kill, kill”, as he stabbed a table with a steak knife talking about GOP Senators. But hey, he and the Donald are buddies!
*threaD
I saw it. Assholes have invaded this place.
Some of those A-holes have been here for 10-15 years.
My guy has NEVER been a RAT or an indie. Your guy, both!
Reagan was an ex democrat.
Very sad indeed. I had always thought that you could count on Freepers to support the best conservative, but I was wrong. I NEVER thought that anyone would latch onto a progressive shill such as Trump. Oh well, I only have a couple decades left, maybe. I’ll survive the disaster coming.
IMO, it's not an issue worth criticism.
Disclaimer, I like Perry, though I was a Walker supporter.
Yeah, but apparently if you are an ex democrat, you are only redeemed if you support Teddy!
Get it?
Many FReepers aren’t conservative. Supporting Trump proves that.
