This week on “Fox News Sunday With Chris Wallace ” Republican presidential candidate former Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) said he will “not be quiet” when it comes to criticizing his rival Donald Trump.
Perry said, “I’m not going to be quiet, when Donald Trump shoots a bullet through Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)43% and hits veterans particularly those that have been captured. I’ll challenge Donald trump. You go tell Marcus Luttrell who was captured by the Taliban that he doesn’t like being around people that have been captured. That is one of the low moments of this campaign from my perspective. I won’t be quiet about that. I will clearly push back and I’ll push back hard because I’ll tell you one thing having worn the uniform of this country, I know what men and women have gone through. I wrote a letter a week from ’03 through 2010 to a parent or loved one of a young Texan who lost their life on the war on terror. I no know what the course of this war is. I won’t let anyone belittle those individuals. I’m going to stand up and push back and I’ll push back hard.”

Defending McCain will get Rick Perry a lot of support. He should definitely go with that winning strategy.
LOLOLOL.
Trump was right, the black glasses did not make Rick any smarter. He’s still not bright enough to be president.
First of all, Trump didn’t disparage one veteran. Second, Perry can keep “not being quiet” but it doesn’t matter because no one is listening to him.
“Marcus Luttrell was not captured!”
____________________________________
Those are the exact words I yelled at my computer monitor when I saw Perry’s comments.
Marcus Luttrell was wounded, but to my knowledge he was never captured by the Taliban or anyone else.
Nobody asked you to be quiet Rick....keep talking, it makes it easier for us to get behind Trump/Cruz 2016
Rick P***y found yet another way to political obscurity, and now makes more noise in hopes that he can echo-locate himself back to civilization. His best option now is to switch political parties in name instead of just in fact. Thanks NKP_Vet.
Perry’s got to make headlines someway ....this was as good as any in that respect take on Trump...LOLOL...it’s show time again!
“I oppose him because I know he won’t force Gardasil on the female children of our nation.”
/s
Rick, sit down and shut up. It’s over.
I wouldn’t vote for you and your opinion is one of the last I want to hear from our side.
Trump has a lot to lose (a huge lead and many strong supporters).
If he is smart, Trump will not take the bait. He will appear presidential...and, of course, cool.
I am as nervous as a cat about the debates. This is make it or break it time for Trump.
I don't think it's wise trying to make your reputation attacking DT. Just sayin....
Trump can’t possibly be any more of a fraud than the rest of the GOP is.
Is Trump more of a fraud than Mitch McConnell? How about Boner? Is Trump more of a fraud than Perry himself?
The entire GOP is full to the brim off frauds except maybe for about 4 of them.
So I am kind of curious why it is so important to expose Trump as a fraud when we seem to be just fine with frauds.
What are those 3 branches you would shut down again?
Sometimes it pays to be quiet, especially when not doing so exposes one’s lack of mental acuity.
Rick Perry? Wasn’t he a famous hairdresser or something?
No wonder he doesn’t like Trump ;)
Perry is directing all his anger since at Trump instead of the Administration.
If Perry really wants to attack Republicans, then he should go after all the collaborators like Boehner and McConnell.
Instead Perry is validating why he is not fit to be POTUS.
La Raza Rick ...
Perry is an egotistical horse’s rear end who thinks everything is about him. When he was a student at Texas A&M he was at a football game when someone up in the stands behind him yelled “Hey, John!” Perry stood up, turned around and looked up in the stands. Then he sat down and resumed watching the game. After a few minutes the guy again yelled “Hey, John! Up here!” Again Perry stood up and looked around then sat back down. After a few minutes the guy again yelled “Hey, John!”
Perry stood up, turned around and yelled “I don’t know who you are. But my name’s not John!”
Don’t be nervous. It is what it is. But certainly Perry won’t upset Trump. Just by using the word “cancer” he’s made a bit of a fool of himself. I seriously worry he’s not a well man. Trump will either triumph or he won’t. I, myself, while enjoying his run, support Cruz. I hope he can gain traction.
