So Red State is fully on board, too? Welcome aboard. Better late than never. Perry says "I ENDORSE/TRUST/FORGIVE Newt!" :~)

THANK YOU, Texas (155 delegates) & Gov Perry!

GO NEWT!!!

Speaker Gingrich-led Republicans….the result: * Voting on each of the Contract with America items * Four consecutive balanced budgets * Over $400 billion of debt paid off * Major welfare reform accomplished * 11 million new jobs for America * Unemployment falling to under 4%.

This is pretty big. Many people liked Perry but were afraid of him debating with Obama. They like his ideas and his character, so him backing Newt will help ease their minds for Newt.

Also in Virginia we’ll all need to vote for Ron Paul so that Romney doesn’t get the delegates. And it may help keep Paul from running 3rd party.

GOD bless you Gov. Perry. You will return to Texas knowing you served her proud in this election. They are indeed fortunate to have such a FINE gentleman Gov. and First Lady in Texas.

We do love and respect you, and I know that you will have a bright future in politics, your day will come and we will be here for you.

THANK YOU GOV.PERRY AND GOD SPEED.

And this is why I was in for Perry.

Strengthening the 10th Amendment is good. Hopefully Newt will pick up and run with the part time congress ball too, for one reason.
At the moment, the only people who can really take time to become congresscritters are very successful businessmen (or women), Law firm partners (where they still get their cut of the practice fees) or professional politicians. You don’t see many plumbers, doctors or farmers in the House. We have a similar problem over here.
A part time congress would expand the range of people who have the time to carry out congressional duties.
