"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

    CRUZ or LOSE!

The premise of a time travel novel was that if you tried really really hard you could hypnotize yourself back into the past simply by intense concentration. That may be what Hillary, Huckabee, and the two Ricks are up to.

[SeaHawkFan]

In Texas, Cruz would be about 25% ahead of Perry in a head-to-head contest; maybe more.

[cripplecreek]

I’m just plain not interested in any past candidates.

[Lurkinanloomin]

There’s three reasons Rick Perry isn’t on my top three

1. La Raza Rick was an earned nickname

2. He’s not that smart.

3. Uh, mmm, uh, mmmm

[BlackAdderess]

We could do a lot worse than Rick Perry, he’s a pragmatist, that’s what we need, not a blind to reality zealot.

[edpc]

The same way Ziskey rates the Russians?

[TADSLOS]

Mark Davis? Hand me the puke bag.

[Theodore R.]

I can’t see Rick doing much outside of Haskell County. He must expect to “catch on” at some point in the campaign.

[MN_Mike]

I feel sorry for Rick. He is so insecure about his second shot at the presidency that he is attaching himself to military heroes.

He is showing a lack of presidential temperament as he flings insults at Senator Cruz.

It should be asked if Perry is worth a second shot after being an abysmal failure the first time. Intelligence conservatives should say “Hell no”

[Rashputin]

Yeah, well King Barry rates himself pretty highly, too.

[ex-snook]

Mr. Perry of the three, you have the least capability to be President. Cruz has the most and Bush is somewhere in between. Our President today requires a guy with a lot of intellectual heft to understand all going on in the world. Mrs. Clinton also comes up very short.
