You don’t have to be clairvoyant to see what the media & establishment Repubicans are pushing. They’ve all but destroyed Perry on one issue, one issue with all the crap this country is going through. Not the right to bear arms, abortion, or freedom of religion. Not low taxes, less regulation, or job creation. No, they’ve pretty much knocked him out of the race with illegal immigration.

And who was the media and establishment GOP pushing 4 years ago? Wasn’t Rudy or Huckabee. It was a broken-down RINO that none of us wanted to support. If it hadn’t been for Sarah, he’d had a miserable turnout.

Nope, you don’t have to be clairvoyant, just observant. The media still wants a liberal and the establishment GOP still want a “moderate”. So Romney or Christie is their win/win and so far they’re doing a good job of manipulating the vote. Just like 2008.

What destroyed Perry was his own record. So if you're looking to assign blame that's where it belongs. And it wasn't just one issue. His record stinks, I've been saying that for weeks. I've also been saying his popularity would wane once it saw the light of day and that is exactly what happened.

Perry may be liked in his home state of Texas but conservatives in the rest of the country think he stinks.

Bravo, you said it well.

Perry took himself out. He shot himself in the foot with that attack on 81% of the electorate last night. I imagine that many Perry supporters (I was one) will still hang in there, flailing about, blaming everyone except the candidate himself for his downfall.
