This is Perry's "Bush Doctrine" Moment LOL
I wouldn't go that far... Later, Perry remembered
it in the debate. Paul had an opportunity to relax
a little and just start stating the 5 Departments he wants to get
rid of, and tell Perry - I know yours is in there somewhere....but he
didn't - a humorous moment lost.

And funny, I compare Cain more to Palin in intellectual responses, than Perry.

That's a no-brainer.

Texas Democrats have IQs equal to their shoe sizes.
No, the reality of the situation is many Texans are so blindly loyal to Republicans that they won't even consider a Democrat, even when the Democratic choice is far superior to the Republican.

Bill White has greatly improved Houston (I live in Houston). Friends and family are astounded when they come visit.

To say Perry has improved Texas is quite disingenuous. All one has to do is look at his record.

I've been saying since the day he announced that Republicans really have no idea what Perry is like. I'm sure many conservatives on here thought to themselves, "Eh, crbcrbrgv is a liberal, why listen to him."

Now you know. And if you don't see it, you are as blind as a person who believes Ron Paul has a chance.

I've been to Houston quite a few times - just curious what "friends and family are astounded by"

Oh, if you would have been here 20 years ago, you'd understand completely.

Heck, the difference between Houston 10 years ago and now is quite remarkable, much less 20.

Do you think it's strange that people are saying Rick Perry is done because he had brain freeze during a debate and yet a person who has been on every side of an issue or a person alleged to have sexually harassed a few women or even a person who worked for Obama is not thought of as being finished?

By the way, the Perry campaign is asking his supporters (like me) to come up with our own picks and reasons for Government agencies that should be eliminated.

He's not done. The folks that are bashing on him are not his supporters anyway. All the candidates have flaws... we just have to be smart enough to recognize critical flaws vs non critical flaws... By the time the primaries come around, folks will not remember this anymore than Perry remembered the name of that Government Department.

Maybe Rick should just give Ron a call

Rick Perry needs to drop out of the race. He is a buffoon and is making a bigger fool of himself every time he opens his cakehole.
