Summarize please?
Does “The Tea Party” love Rick Perry?
Nice cartoon, but I couldn’t stomach more than a minute of Chrissy Matthews and that idiot Donny Deutsch.
Perry ping
The Tea Party does NOT like Rick Perry OR mitt Romney. They are RINO’s, and therefore part of the PROBLEM.
And, obviously, you speak for the tea party? Impressive if true (not)
I think Chris’s observation is interesting, and accurate.
For the record, as a Tea Party activist, I love Sarah.
I am a Tea Party group founder , organizer and rally leader ,and I am not impressed with Rick Perry .
I see him as weak on illegal immigration .
But at least he is a Vet . I would vote for any Vet over any lawyer any day ....
Chrissy hates Tea Party patriots and anyone who might destroy his beloved BO.
What’s not to love about that;)
Which is why the GOP would be smart to choice neither in 2012
The TP does not agree with Perry on the big-government, nanny-state Gardasil debacle.
The TP does not agree with Perry on his opposition to the border fence.
The TP does not agree with Perry on his opposition to Arizona trying to defend itself from the ILLEGAL hordes that he wants to make citizens.
The TP opposed Perry on the TTC.
The TP does not support Perry’s warped view that anyone opposing instate tuition for ILLEGAL aliens does so because of the ILLEGAL aliens’ last names.
The TP did not agree with Obama and Pelosi’s stimulus bailout plan yet Perry took stimulus cash anyway.
Rick Perry is a big government, progressive neocon candidate much the same as Mitt Romney ;he is a fraud and anything but in line with the TP's core principles.
Got news for you Chris, the tea party does not love Perry. It's the status quo, Clinton wing of the Republican party that loves him. The ones who don't give a damn how much corruption is in government as long as it's the Republicans reaping the benefits of it.
Perry did admittedly give vocal support to the Tea Party early in the game, well before most other politians, and I give him credit for that. however, being a part of the Tea movement from it’s earliest days here in my corner of Texas, my observation was that Perry was not particularly popular with the folks. He was ‘tolerated’ at best.
What? I do? When did that happen? news to me!!
Jerry DeLemus, chairman of the Granite State Patriots Liberty PAC, a tea party umbrella group, described the Texas answer as “wrong-headed” and a “big negative” against Perry’s White House hopes. Katrina Pierson, a member of the Dallas Tea Party’s steering committee, said “Governor Perry has not met the standards, for me, to be the President of the United States if he can’t even address the real issues here in Texas.”
I particularly liked South40's post from another thread.

Isn't that special?
The SMSM are on a march to convince Tea Party folks they love, or should love, Perry. The Tea Party folk I know are more informed than Krissy Tingle down his leg, realizes. So his little political gimmick ain’t gonna fly.
The Tea Party folks I know don’t do socialism, and they don’t do cronyism. Rick Perry is a crony extraordinaire. Socialism and cronyism is what we are trying to root out of politics, you idiot.
