Try this. Last election, the gop-e handpicked mccain. He was dead in the water. The bush/clinton mafia controlled him from New Hampshire on. mccain won NH because clinton called in markers. He was never going to win that election. They thought Sarah Palin was the nail in the coffin for mccain and she turned out to be airholes in his coffin. The destroy Sarah at all costs started THEN.
The gop-e “anyone but Palin” cabal swarmed mitch daniels. Bah, humbug. (Rudy, another Bush insider will take out romney with ease.) The gop-e mafia “summoned” jon huntsman to daddy bush’s casa for vetting. He passed the bush/clinton pinky spit test, which means he is controllable, but he’s Mormon...maybe not everyone’s cup’o’tea, (no pun intended.)
Last time that happened, when EVERYONE thought it would be ridge’s “turn,” war hero and all that, he couldn’t get the traction with the base. NOBODY wanted Ridge then, like nobody wants romney now. So the gop-e went crawling to GWB, the son who never got out from under daddy’s influence, whose entire cabinet was stacked with daddy’s boys, with the SAME results. obama’s admin is stacked with clinton’s boys. The pattern is absolutely repeating itself here. GWB’s boys and the bigmoney Texans want perry. The NE establishment wants perry. Gingrich’s gang wants perry.
THAT means, I DON’T. Because the clinton/bush boys have killed us.

The problem with your theory is the Bushes tried to take Perry out during the primaries before the last election. They were 100% behind Kay Bailey. Cheney had radio spots running all the time on talk radio. Karl Rove, Karen Hughes, James Baker and Ma and Pa Bush all were pushing KBH.

I do think the Republican establishment is still looking for a candidate because they aren't excited by the current field, but to characterize Perry as a Bush insider is to ignore the animosity that has developed between them over the years.

One of the reasons Cong. Duncan Hunter was knocked out of invited participation the South Carolina debate, at a critical time for his 2008 presidential campaign (to grow), even though he technically had more pledged GOP delegates from previous primary states over others that were allowed into the S. Carolina debate.

PURE GOP ESTABLISHMENT CORRUPTION/

It existed in 2008. It will exist in 2012.

Tex-Con-Man expressed my concerns with your theory, so that means that Rove would have to be the Bush force behind the draft Perry to make it viable. Rove’s interests are definitely *Stop Sarah*.
