MURRAY, Ky. (AP) - Texas Gov. Rick Perry threw his support behind U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell on Saturday, telling 300 fellow Republicans that the minority leader will win re-election.
McConnell finds himself in a GOP primary fight with wealthy businessman Matt Bevin, who attended the event but wasnt allowed to speak.
I love the number six, Perry told the crowd at the Lincoln Reagan Dinner of West Kentucky. Sam Houston was 6 foot 6 inches tall. And Mitch McConnell is going to be in his sixth term as United States senator.
Organizers said the dinner was supposed to unite the Kentucky GOP behind one mission: taking control of the Kentucky House of Representatives in November. But speakers talked just as much about taking control of the U.S. Senate so McConnell could become majority leader.
The future of America is inextricably intertwined with Kentucky and how these elections come out this time, Perry told the crowd.

Then nothing will ever change.
So, if Chinless wins, can I blame Perry for it from now on? Will this finally put Chinless over the top?
Here’s the scenario: Perry endorses McConnell, then McConnell wins, therefore McConnell is Perry’s fault.
I can’t wait to throw this in the Palin-basher’s faces every time they blame McCain on her.
You don't get a second chance to make a good first impression.
Right or wrong, in 2012 the whole nation outside of Texas got a first impression of Rick Perry as the white-male version of Sheila Jackson Lee, only less articulate.
Term limits are no fix for an ignorant electorate dominated by an indentured constituency selecting people nobody knows and funded by their handlers.
*****************************
At least term limits flushes the toilet now and again to rid us of those elected by “an ignorant electorate dominated by an indentured constituency selecting people nobody knows and funded by their handlers” and gives folks like Cruz, etc. a chance to get in and make a difference for what term they have.
You’re shooting down the idea of term limits .... ok, but how about sharing with me what your solution/ideas would be to the current situation with Congress/Senate because educating an ignorant electorate and eliminating an indentured constituency isn’t going to happen in my lifetime.
Bad move, Perry.
Thats not a good idea.
What you should have done was beat him in the primaries.
The Kentucky primary is May 20, 2014.
There is still time to sink McConnell in the Kentucky primary.
McConnell is in trouble in both the primary against Bevin, and if he steals that one, in the general against the Democrat.
That treasonous slimebag needs to go.
lol!
I’d say that would definitely shake up the ‘status quo’! :-)
Nope!
We are too heartless anyway, to support an Amnesty Pimp.
I agree, but there are many Texas FReepers who insist Perry is a die-hard conservative as are they for supporting him. An objective assessment of the man and his record proves he is anything but conservative.
Voting for RINOs is the same as voting for any other Tyrant.
Perry was a Democrat until switching parties in 1989 to run for Commisioner of Agriculture against Jim Hightower.
As for calling him a Rover, there was fighting between the Perry camp and Rove camp when Perry was Lt Gov IIRC.
I don’t want him as Prez but he would be a big improvement over our current Sultan.
Well I’m rooting for Matt Bevins all the way but I also can see Perry’s point of view.
I would say that maybe Sarah Palin was looking at it that way when she endorsed Juan McStain. I totally disagreed with that endorsement but I could understand that maybe she was trying to take a long view.
If McConnell wins, I’m going to bash Perry every chance I get. Each and every time Chinless Turtle does something liberal stupid, I’m going to trot this endorsement out and bash to my heart’s content, declaring Chinless to be Perry’s fault.
RINO Rick can’t help it.
Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it is a duck.
And once you've got them you throw them away too, after years spent learning the job. Would you seek a career move like that? Yeah, toss the entire herd including your prized stud bulls and breeding cows, just because you can't figure out which is which.
Youre shooting down the idea of term limits .... ok,
No, the California legislature did that.
ok, but how about sharing with me what your solution/ideas would be to the current situation with Congress/Senate because educating an ignorant electorate and eliminating an indentured constituency isnt going to happen in my lifetime.
No problemo, and yes, they are my ideas.
We’ll have to disagree on term limits.
Thanks for the link, I’ll take a look.
La Raza Rick hath spoken. DUMP MITCH !
