The Republican establishment intended for Rick Perry to sink TEA Party candidate Michele Bachmann: ”Kristol told me just after Perry entered the race, a development that essentially ended [the more radical Michele] Bachmann’s brief ascent. Establishment Republicans may prefer Romney to Perry, but their assumption is that either man can be counted on to steer the party back toward the broad center next fall, effectively disarming the Tea Party mutiny.”

You got it. The only result of the Perry candidacy was the destruction of the best hope of Tea Party conservatives: Michele Bachmann.

I would have fought for Bachmann, Palin, or Cain, but the rest are just scum.

You hit the money quote right there. With the big bucks flowing to him, it was obvious that Perry was just a little less of an elite RINO favorite than Romney. That is why Perry has done nothing but attack Romney because they are both playing to the same group of RINOs. Like I have said from the beginning, Perry is a stealth RINO. I knew they were trying to sneak him in as TEA Party but it has failed. Fortunately for us, Perry could not keep his mouth shut.

”Kristol told me just after Perry entered the race... Establishment Republicans may prefer Romney to Perry, but their assumption is that either man can be counted on to steer the party back toward the broad center next fall, effectively disarming the Tea Party mutiny.”

That quote needs to be circulated far and wide. It is the very reason Perry has so much money now. The RINOs need to see how many more conservatives they can deceive with their phony candidate. Perhaps this will wake some of them up.
