He needs a San Jacinto, not an Alamo.

Someone should tell him how it ended. He may have forgotten.

Ooops.

Didn’t everyone die at the Alamo?

Need an “Alamo” before you rally for a “San Jacinto”.

But you know what he’s saying anyway, right?

“We’re not quitting on America. We’re not quitting on this race,” Perry said.

Unless he supports Romney, maybe he should just get out and give his votes in SC to either Newt or Santorum and help us get rid of Romney!

In an interview tonight he was asked why his poll numbers in SC are still so low.

He should have answered that we’re now polling on poll numbers. NH followed IA until that got shaken up now SC is following NH.

These polls are going to be what defeats us. Newt’s a perfect example of how manipulated they are. Now I think they’re pushing the “Santorum’s losing momentum” polls. Sad what we’ve come to.

Here in SC it ain’t the Alamo it’s Fort Sumter and we won that one Guv.

(Course Texas lost the Alamo but won the war—we won Fort Sumter but lost the war)

Not the Mexicans.

How ironic. The Mexicans killed the folks at the Alamo just like they killed Perry's campaign.

It will probably be more like Goliad. He'll get wiped out, but 150 years from now hardly anyone will remember it.

Doesn’t he know who won the Battle of the Alamo?

Maybe he thinks of himself as Mexican.

He said come back and ask him about the poll numbers on the 22nd. This fight is not for the faint of heart.
