Perry ping
I have given up on Perry, the tuition issue along with his debate performances have driven his poll numbers down into the low single digits in key states.
I have moved on.
Perry is only in this to give the nomination to Romney.

You mean the Rick Perry the GOP Establishment see as their fall back card?

Kristol told me just after Perry entered the race, a development that essentially ended [the more radical Michele] Bachmann’s brief ascent. Establishment Republicans may prefer Romney to Perry, but their assumption is that either man can be counted on to steer the party back toward the broad center next fall, effectively disarming the Tea Party mutiny.
“It is at least interesting that a 10-year-old law that passed with little opposition and treats Texas residents equally would be an issue,” said Ray Sullivan, the campaign communications director.
He's still surrounding himself with yes men concerning illegal immigration because he refuses to see how opposed most Republicans are to it. When so much hubris is ingrained in a candidate and his underlings I expect his polls to continue to sink.
I’m sorry, and I know this isn’t very nice...
but when I see Perry on TV, he looks too much like Bush with a very bad Ronald Reagan makeover.
“Perry will rebound, as people will get to know the real Perry.”
TOO LATE!!! People got to know the REAL Perry. He was at the top of the polls BEFORE they got to know him. Now they know him, and they realize they can do better, much better.
It took Perry two weeks to apologize (sort of) for the outrageous “don’t have a heart” quip. I had given him a “last chance” after his La Raza-worthy “different last name” comment at the prior debate. I am done with him now.
Perry will be just fine. I know how Perry campaigns...I also know how people prematurely put nails in his coffin.
I warned you when you Perrybots when started this smear attack campaign on Cain. Do not go there. The truth always wins in the end
When you tip over the Perry rock, a whole lot of slime oozes out.
Like any professional politician, Perry has a whole lot of skeletons in his closet. When you refused to make this an issues based campaign, and decided instead to make it a smear job whisper campaign about Cain, you made your guy’s background and political connections fair game.
So how about you all drop your habitual smear attacks on Cain and try telling why we should vote FOR Perry for a change?
What is phase two? Did they figure out a way to offend and insult his remaining supporters much like the Heartless charge? Maybe he will just bring a pillow to the next debate and take a nap at the podium to show why debates don't matter.
How about you answer the questions instead of dreaming up the next attack rant to post about Cain?
Who got in the race last after it was clear Romney was not going to get any appreciable support from social conservatives?
Who did the GOP Establishment push into the race after it seem Tea Party heroine Bachmann was going to upset Romney’s ride to the nomination?
Who does the GOP Establishment see as their back up card if Romney fails?
Who has long standing intimate ties with the Liberal wing of the GOP Establishment?
The answer is Rick Perry.

Wonder who Perry will be VP with?
Odd how that question never gets asked of Perry.
Could it be because everyone knows Perry is the GOP Establishment mole in the race to split the Tea Party/Conservative vote and hand the nomination to Romney?
Could it be because they know the ticket the GOP Machine is setting up is “Romney/Perry 2012? Think about it. Romney has the money, Perry has the idolatrous worship from the social Conservatives.
Could that be why the Perry camp is knowingly lying about Cain’s solidly Conservative record on both social and fiscal issues? Because they know full well Perry’s record can not stand close scrutiny?
What does anyone really know about Perry other then the nice words and platitudes he puts in his speeches? Looks like Perry is just Bush 3.0 another tough talking social conservative who will go to DC and be yet another good little GOP crony capitalist water boy.
Perry has of the current field the best record of experience in governance and service to his country.
We should not use MSM standards to judge Rick Perry. Its exactly what the left wants to happen. Yes he has conservative shortcomings in several areas of his record, on immigration policy for example, but he stands head and shoulders above all of them on governance experience and service to the nation and his sins are minor compared to Romney’s.
We shouldn’t elect a TV personna this time,besides, he often carries a Ruger .380 auto when he jogs, that alone earns my vote, LOL.
This says it all, Perry will beat the ass off Obama if he secures the nomination,he has nailed him before directly and has the balls to take Obama on face to face as a matter of official duty, unlike any of the other candidates:

Perry is a good man, the best of the field:

C-130 Rick Perry: He Flew The World Before Politics
Abilene Online
By Sarah Kleiner Varble
Rank: Retired as a captain
Hometown: Haskell
Crew job: C-130 aircraft commander
Served in the Air Force: 1972 to 1977
Dyess AFB tour: March 4, 1974, to Feb. 28, 1977
His story:Way back before he was governor of Texas, Rick Perry had two choices as a young member of the Air Force.
He could either follow his dream and work toward becoming an instructor pilot in the sleek T-38, or he could fly the hulking C-130, planes that affectionately were referred to as “trash haulers” by Perry and his cohorts.
“There was no telling what you were going to haul around on any given day, from high value cargo like human beings to the colonel’s kitty litter,” Perry told the Reporter-News in a recent phone interview.
He wanted to fly T-38s, but not badly enough to move to Selma, Ala., where he would have been assigned. So, Perry chose to stay in Texas and fly the C-130.
In 1974, he moved to Dyess Air Force Base, about 55 miles from his hometown of Haskell, and began a career that took him all over the world and shaped his political future.
“It was one of the great adventures of my life,” Perry said. “I had a fairly pedestrian life until I was 23 years old.”
Perry could count on one hand the number of trips he had taken out of his home state by the time he graduated from Texas A&M University, but everything changed when he joined the Air Force.
Flying C-130s, Perry lived in Germany and Saudi Arabia. He flew in Central and South America, North Africa and all over Europe.
“I saw all of these different types of governments and I made the connections to how the people acted and looked, and it became abundantly clear to me that, at that particular point in time, that America was this very unique place and that our form of democracy was very rare,” Perry said. “ ... That was the greatest gift I received from my years of being in the military, and they really shaped my outlook on the rest of my life.”
Perry retired from the Air Force in 1977 — but not without one last adventure.
As his final days approached, Perry was assigned to a mission to “haul trash” to Bermuda with a relatively inexperienced crew.
“I’m sure the young guys stayed up a little longer than the older guy, which would be me at 26 years old,” Perry said, and they fell asleep on the way back to Abilene.
About the time the plane reached Atlanta, a fire light for the No. 3 engine flashed once. And then it flashed again.
Perry poked his co-pilot as the light reappeared and held steady on red.
Using the headset, he asked the loadmaster to take a look at the engine from the window and about that time, the engine exploded and blew a tail pipe off the plane.
“He started screaming that we were on fire and that we were all going to die,” Perry said. “The aircraft operated as advertised and flies amazingly well on three engines.”
Perry and his crew were stuck at Pope Air Force Base while awaiting a new engine. With three days left in his enlistment, Perry called the command post at Dyess and informed them that they would have to send a new pilot along with the engine if they didn’t hurry.
“I said, ‘In three days, I’m not Captain Perry anymore, I’m Mr. Perry, and I’m going home,” Perry said.
The engine arrived and the plane returned to Dyess in time for Perry to retire Feb. 28, as planned.
He went on to be elected to the state House of Representatives, agriculture commissioner, lieutenant governor and, finally, governor of Texas.
Which Perry is that:
- you're a heartless xenophobe Perry?
- my in-state tuition educated illegal aliens now need amnesty to get a job Perry?
- my wife says you don't like my faith Perry?
- state's rights legislation only applies to Texas, not Massachussetts Perry?
This time around, I don't want a stuffed-shirt cookie-cutter politician from the establishment getting the nod.
I think the GOP establishment overlooked Herman Cain. They did not expect that the Perry campaign would self-destruct. They expected Perry to be where Cain is right now. Now they are in a quandary with respect to how to handle his sudden rise.
I think As long as she keeps talking, Anita can pull him out if this slump.
Rick Perry speaks for me; he speaks for the American that believes in individualism; for those that want to work hard, support their family, and generally be left the hell alone (I fall into the latter group!) GOVERNOR RICK PERRY FOR PRESIDENT---2012!
