I just love all these Freepers who after one primary/caucus think they should decide who is allowed to run for office, and who isn't..
Perry should drop out for "the Greater Good". I personally am sick of having "the greater good" shoved down my throat for years now... I guess enough people have believed it. We've become an entitlement society, have given away many of our God Given rights, while enshrining others, such as gay marriage, and abortion...plus it seems we're on the verge of an economic collapse.
And if I were you folks I would not listen to a minute of Fox News on television or radio. I firmly believe 7 out of 10 on their staff is actively coordinating to elect Romney. These folks are setting the message and influencing voters. They've already done great damage and the chances of a Cain or Perry or Bachmann or Santorum are already greatly diminished or done.
I wish people would figure this out and ignore them. Their (Karl Rove) saying that Perry helps Romney is completely false. This assumes that Perry will damage Santorum and both will falter. It excludes the possibility that Perry could gain traction in South Carolina and Florida and actually take it from Romney.
Fox wants people to turn AGAINST Perry in their commentary, coverage, speculation, projection, and everything that they say and do. Its pathetic. The sad thing is you'd think CNN and MSNBC would call them out on it, but they're in the same bed this time around. NONE of them want to see Perry gain momentum.
To think that a sitting governor of the 2nd largest state with the TOP economy and TOP job-creation record in the nation is not in the top tier of candidates in this record economic recession is simply unbelievable. This ought to show people how much inside corruption and collusion occurs within the establishment GOP and their media cronies.
Its the EXACT same reason that Sarah Palin and Herman Cain were torn to shreds by these sharks. They will not allow an outsider to penetrate their defenses.
I believe that Perry's disassociation with Rove is one of the main reasons we're at this juncture. Perry's inability or lack of interest in gaining his favor, along with all the money and satellite influence he brings to the table is also the reason he hasn't lured in the very top donors and supporters. He doesn't want it. Problem is, you have to have it. I hope this tainted dynamic in GOP politics changes at some point in the future but I'm not holding my breath.
