Gov. Rick Perry is once again slamming out-of-state interest groups backing former solicitor general Ted Cruz in his runoff with Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst this time tweaking Sarah Palin, U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint and Rick Santorum by suggesting their states could learn a lot from Texas, but Texas doesnt need their advice on choosing its next U.S. senator.
Perry, standing staunchly behind Dewhurst, brushed off the question about whether his own tea party credibility may be damaged by his opposition to Cruz, who has been endorsed by national conservative and tea party groups and figures (including Palin, DeMint and Santorum) in the runoff for the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate.

Without naming Palin, DeMint or Santorum, Perry called them to mind by naming their states: I appreciate everybody paying attention to Texas as well they should, they could learn some things on how to run South Carolina and Pennsylvania and Alaska.
Come to Texas and learn how to do it right, but dont come down here and tell us who needs to be our next United States senator, thank you very much. Well decide that without your outside, Washington, D.C.-oriented help, Perry said.

“You can support Dewhurst without attacking people that had your back when you most need it and you asked for it.”
Agreed. I like Perry, but have to wonder why he thought this was a good move?
Wondered how long he was gonna last. :)
He talked pretty conservative in a lot of his posts, but he was very rude. That’s straight out of the troll handbook.
He is from north of me, and people from that part of Texas are usually very nice. Too bad he had to be an exception!
Luckily, Texans don’t need Perry or anyone else telling them to support the GOPe’s candidate.
I've never understood the penchant of some to use rudeness as if it's somehow useful to "winning" a debate. At FR it's a recipe for a fast ticket to "outside looking in."
Thanks for the Ping!
Another one bites the dust. I am glad to see that name calling moron gone!
My pleasure, sweetie.
You’re not the only one.
I can only aspire to be as cool as my redneck friends.
That poster was so stupid, he thought Harold Ford was a redneck.
Indeed!
Thank you for the serenade. That’s one of my favorites by Queen.
"There are a lot of out-of-state interest groups whether it's Club For Growth, whether its senators who have interest in being the next minority or majority leader in the United States Senate there's a whole lot of people who don't intimately and expertly know how Texas operates that have come in and endorsed in this race," Perry said. "I respect each one of those individuals, but they don't know anything about how Texas works."His initial response was directed at outside money pouring into the Texas Senate race. The blogger who wrote this clearly has an agenda."If they did," he added, "they would be endorsing David Dewhurst."
"They can learn some things on how to run South Carolina and Pennsylvania and Alaska," he said. "Come to Texas and learn how to do it right, but don't come down here and tell us who needs to be our next United States Senator. Thank you very much. We'll decide that without your outside Washington, D.C.-oriented help."
Quite a feat for either Ford if so. ;-)
Redbonenecks maybe?
snort!
LOL! Who knows?
Just reminding ole Rick that we know that Dew....is a Tory Dem in disguise who will settle comfortably in a McConnell-like grove if he gets to Washington.
