And then there were four...
Jim, time for a join forces cocktail party! I’ll bring the stuffed jalapenos.
Good for Rick. Good sign with the Newt endorsement, too.
And the Shiner Bock. A Mega-B vitamin fronting in a beer bottle!
I will happily take “ole pointy boots” back as my state governor........
LOL...you beat me to the Shiner Bock post :)
This pretty much leaves Rick Santorum as the only sane Romney alternative if the enemedia Jack Ryans Newt. I have an uneasy feeling that they well. The only question is whether they will do it now or sometime after Labor Day.
He fought the good fight for getting D.C. out of our lives. While the people were being duped or playing politics, Perry pushed for energy development, state’s rights, and less centralized goverment.
I’ve heard the other candidates talking more about these issues so I think Governor Perry accomplished more than he knows.
bump
Sheriff Joe should be bringing some pretty good potluck.
We’ll make all the Santorum guys be the waiters :)
I think Perry will be the VP pick.
Your efforts were herculean and laudable.
“Ive heard the other candidates talking more about these issues so I think Governor Perry accomplished more than he knows”
I love him more than ever. He may never belong in DC until the masses get it. He’s been courageous and I’m proud of him. My ONLY regret is that he felt it necessary to endorse anyone. I’m bitter right now because of the way SC conservatives let him down. I wouldn’t care if there was a giant sink hole. I’m a poor sport.
Oh, no... Perry’s JUST BEGUN the damage he intends to inflict. And now he can do it under the radar, the way he’s used to flying.
You’re about to see some serious squirming in DC.
He may have been a basically honest man who got mixed up in a a life of crime (at the state level-politiks) and still knew something of right from wrong—sorry to see him go—kinda liked the lad...
Strange planet...
Mmmm ... Shiner Bock. Best reason to visit Texas, other than seeing my parents.
I see none of the other candidates with that give and take....and I don't think either of them knocked each other.
Romney is going down and Obama will be sulking. He may even do something desparate like kill Obamacare BEFORE the Supremss do it.
Yes! Thank you Governor Perry for doing the right thing.
