FNC

Waiting on Perry to take podium any moment! He will endorse Newt!

[af_vet_rr]

We will see who gets what...does newt pick up all?...i doubt it..it will filter all around and some will stay home

If I were to bet, I'd bet that the vast majority of Perry supporters will not support Romney or RuPaul.

Like Rush says why are they resignation speeches among the best? Classy and touching especially talking about Anita. Watching her watch him, I see real love and support. Seems that many political wives look vacant and disinterested. Will miss him but he did a good think if Romney loses SC.

What a conundrum! Do I vote for the apostate Mormon or the serial adultor?

I just e-mailed ABC news and let them know what a unjournalistic bunch of has been journalists they are to put on a hurt and sick woman with her comments right before a big debate. They are dispectiable and should hear from everyone of us today. Denco

I felt that way from the beginning. I cannot believe that so many FReepers were attacking this conservative Governor with the vitriol that they were. There is no perfect candidate. By the standards set by some, Reagan would have been skewered.

[Kenny]

He was our best candidate, definitely most conservative. I hope he stays active pushing for the things he believes in. He was the one person on stage for debates that I NEVER thought of as a Washington insider.

[Reagan69]

I think the ticket might be Newt/Perry.

[sheikdetailfeather]

Perry knows the ex wife story is coming out later today and he is emphasizing forgiveness. It took courage for Perry to do what he did.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Finally, some sanity in the world.

God bless Rick Perry. He is a class act—always has been.

[Never on my watch]

Rick wants to be one of Newt’s running mates.

I think that went over some people's heads, very funny!

[llandres]

“The live video brought tears to my eyes. I think he is destined for greatness. Will make a great VP.”

Mega Dittos!

...

.... A FORGIVEN serial adulterer.

[isthisnickcool]

Perry went in with Palin's endorsement in his pocket. Palin will now endorse Newt.

The issue is not adultery. The issue is being an adult. Perry just showed how that is done.

[rintense]

Sounds plausible. Or a cabinet post.

[sodpoodle]

God bless Rick Perry - what a great speech from a true Patriot.

He had the courage to ‘get in the arena’ and I believe his endorsement of Newt will be respected and followed.

[CatherineofAragon]

“I feel very, very sad for Perry supporters today.

He was my second choice, should Newt have petered out. Now I don’t have a 2nd choice. He is a class act.
“

As a Perry supporter, thank you. I can’t tell you how sad I feel. That press conference broke my heart. I feel that America just lost its best chance for leadership. Perry stands head and shoulders above the rest. May God bless him.

[Liberty Valance]

Welcome home Rick - Go Newt!

[Coldwater Creek]

GROW UP AND BEHAVE YOURSELF!

Do I vote for the apostate Mormon

He's not an apostate.
