Interesting. Looking at this thread, it seems most of the Perrybots have gone into hiding. I remember when he first announced, they kicked Michelle Bachmann to the curb and hyped this guy endlessly for months as the "anti-Romney" candidate and reincarnation of Reagan (scary, isn't it?) Some lunatic Romneybots would even accuse anyone who questioned La Raza Rick's conservative credentials of being closet Romney supporters. We really didn't get rid of the Perrybots until he dropped out and it seemed about 85% of them became Newtbots (which was even more bizarre... overnight they went from 'debates don't matter' to 'debates are the ONLY thing that matters!'). The scary thing is that Perry actually looked good next to Newt (at least Perry is a decent family man in his private life, while being a mediocre political hack in his public life...)
I hope this means his 2016 bid will fizzle even quicker. I predicted in 2012 that the only thing he's accomplish was to muddy up the field more and divide the conservative base, and I was right.
The real problem isn't with obvious RINO establishment candidates like Jeb Bush, but lousy "conservative" establishment candidate that distract attention away from the real conservative leaders.
