"But the real question is: Does Governor Perry continue to believe that Social Security should not be a federal program, that it's unconstitutional and it should be returned to the states, or is he going to retreat from that view?"
In other words: Is my opponent an extremist who'd lead the party to ruin or a weasel who can't stand by his guns?
On the Texas economy, Romney said, "I think Governor Perry would agree with me that if youâre dealt four aces, that doesn't make you necessarily a great poker player."
Earlier Romney had sounded the same note, saying that Perry surely wouldn't take credit for Texas for having (1) no income tax; (2) lax union protections; (3) oil and gas in the ground; and (4) a Republican legislature. That would be like Al Gore taking credit for inventing the Internet, he joked.

My attitude exactly.
Do you believe this bs article? Romney is as much if not more of a fraud than Perry. Perry died of a self-inflicted wound. Deal with it. I don’t know of a single person who is keen on Romney. Only the Repparatchiks and pundits speak well of him.
That’s all you got? Seriously?
Of course its a false choice. They are desperate to get us to vote for the guy who apparently hates us.
That’s all you got? Seriously?
when this gets down to a 2 man race, Cain will pummel Romney.
I agree. But the establishment GOP is going to do what they can to knock Cain out of the race.
Primaries will tell.
Obama will slaughter Romney. Literally or figuratively. By a landslide if we make it to actually hold an election in 2012. If we still have a country.
I am certain that Perry will be our man.
“I’m poaching part of your post for my new tagline.”
“If not Perry, it’s Romney. And if it’s Romney, it’s Obama.”
Glad you are using it, because it is absolutely true.
in both feet.
A self-inflicted gunshot wound to the credibility.
I am on for Romney.
I’m not establishment GOP. I’m a conservative. I am from Texas and I do not get a rise from Perry. Perry is not the next Reagan or Jesus. He just isn’t. That’s all.
The best GOP candidate for POTUS with the money and system and anti-Obama machine is..........Romney. I want the anti-Obama with all it’s warts. The warts aren’t redirecting me right now. The cancers of the current Admin are.
I will trade the cancers of the current Obama admin for the warts of a Romney Admin ANY DAY. Realize this. It’s not about pure philosophies. It’s about getting the Titanic turning in the right direction to avoid a collision as opposed to having it sail in the opposite direction.
You’re a Texan...should know better than to count Perry out.
Unfortunately, I get the feeling some folks would rather see Obama finish the country off than see anyone but their savior win the presidency.
Sort of a “cut your nose off to spite your face” mentality, except 4 more years of Obama WILL finish us off, of that I have no doubt. So, it's really a “cut your nose off and die via blood loss and infection” mentality.
A true winning strategy.
Do I have to add “/s”?
So, you like Obamneycare, queer marriage, abortion, gun-grabbers, radical liberal judges, hiring illegals, torturing animals, and politicians that run for office to the LEFT of Teddy Kennedy? Your boy Mutt Romney is all of that and more.
As a Texan, I know well how to gauge Perry. Been dealing with him for a decade now.
What you saw (in the debates) is what you get. That’s ol’ Rick. In Texas if you don’t have a “D” next your name, you win. Rick’s managed to occupy the Mansion for a decade on that simple premise.
The funny part is Kinky. I don’t get his Perry connection. He’s done nothing but rail and run against him for the better part of the last decade only to now turn tail and endorse him.
ROTFLMAO!!! FairOpinion, is that you? It's the evening shift for the Party/consultant hacks and we're scraping at the bottom of the RINO barrell of memes here...
'A vote for McClintock is a vote for Bustamante...' ARNOLD for Governor!!!
Conservatives fell for it. How'd that work out?
'A vote for Reagan is a vote for Brown...' Christopher for Governor!!!
Conservatives didn't fall for it. How'd that work out?
You STILL have yet to explain Florida. Haven't you been given your talking points yet? It's incredibly unprofessional not to have your story straight by now. Where are these people in the Perry campaign? Simply trolling for fear is just not going to cut it here, as the memory of know how we got McCain is all too fresh while the "Perry is a conservative" pitch simply reeks of Bush's "reach-across-the-aisle compassionate conservatism" that sold us down the fiscal river and created a solid Democrat majority.
You're just not going to sell that here this time. Don't you get it?
Matt Miller? Is this the same Matt Miller who is the Democrat scumbag?
Been putting out childish drivel for years?
A self-inflicted gunshot wound to the credibility.
As self-inflicted as it can be. But look at the moronic quote from the originator of this thread:
Go ahead, keep bashing Perry, go down in history that conservatives helped Romney be the nominee and helped re-elect Obama
Perry held the gun and pulled the trigger but it's our fault?
The mind of a PerryBot is a strange thing.
