Although I too knew the man would have made a damn good President and effective at returning America to freedom and greatness, I am not sorry to have him back as Governor to keep up his good work for Texas.
Its the bravest that fall on the grenade to save the cause.
Thank you CW for your dedication in posting these pro-Perry articles - even in the face of many dispicable posters who made it their life’s mission to discourage you. You’ve set a fine example to us here - always positive.
God bless Gov. Perry and his family - they are patriots in every sense. Perry took one for the team - HE IS A GREAT AMERICAN. This steadfast loyalty to America is direly needed right now. I know he will continue to do everything he can to help make America strong again. God bless you too Cincinatus’ Wife!
Bump for the great state of Texas...

I enjoyed sparring with you over Governor Perry early on, but I grew to admire him. I gotta say his withdrawal speech was a class act. It’s unfortunate he wasn’t able to smoothly articulate his ideas in the debates. It was almost painful to watch his verbal stumbles, and I reached the point where I hoped he’d do better. I’m starting to think we might have lost out on a good president.
“My gratitude to Gov. Rick Perry and Mrs. Anita Perry for fighting the good fight for freedom, and for understanding and believing in the exceptionalism that is America.”
Amen to that! May God richly bless them.
“And thank you to all you wonderful Rick Perry supporters who saw the promise of a Perry presidency.”
Not at all-—thanks to YOU, CW, and to ALL of you folks who posted articles and news about Rick Perry. Because of you all, I learned so much about him, and I became a supporter.
You didn’t let the anti-Perry vitriol deter you, you kept educating the folks about this good man and his record.
A Perry presidency would truly have been wonderful.
I have a hunch that Sarah was talking to her good friend, Governor Perry. Now if Perry can talk sense to Ron Paul (Pot). Paul must step down for the good of the country.
Thank you, you’re amazing. If I were to ever run for elective office I’d do my best to convince you to back me.
Rick and Anita Perry made a powerful contribution to the conversation of conservatism. They’re not done yet.
Thank you Captain Perry ping!!!
Amen, and thank you...
Any additional comment would be superfluous.
Kudos to your efforts on behalf of a decent man and a true Patriot.
Prayers for the Perry family and supporters. It was a courageous effort on behalf of ‘we the people’.
Thank you for your grace under pressure. We should all be so honorable.

Didn’t see it mentioned anywhere, but I think that one reason why Rick Perry “reassessed” to stay in his campaign was that he was still a principal in a VA lawsuit to allow him and, therefore, Gingrich to be on the ballot, which could help Newt in voting count.
If he had “suspended” his campaign, that alone could have been the grounds for dismissing the lawsuit.
Once the appellate court threw out the lawsuit, the sole remaining reason for Perry’s candidacy vanished, and he was never in it to be a spoiler.
Thank you, Governor, that was very classy!
I too wondered about the Virginia lawsuit angle of this as well. You might be right, and I agree, Perry was total class all the way, including how he ended it.
Gov. Perry would do that.
