Alamo, indeed

Alamo, indeed

No shit. He busted out the Alamo card, and I was thinking "you do know that we LOST that battle, don't you?". Apparently not.

[ChuckD]

Over/under on Rich the Hair suspending his campaign. He's pretty thick. I'll say April 1st. :lol

[JoeChalupa]

He still has money to spend but he is really pissing off some GOP supporters like Rush Limpballs and others. His attacks against Romney are going to come back to bite him in the ass. He WAS smart to take advantage of the loopholes in the Texas Retirement to get what he can. His politial career is toast.

[Crookshanks]

Perry knew he wasn't going to do well in New Hampshire - so he's working extra hard in South Carolina. If he doesn't do well there, then I think he'll end his campaign.

[JoeChalupa]

He'll end it soon and have a Texas sized BBQ to celebrate his getting out.

He's all in there, but it's over for him.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

His whole candidacy was a ploy to martyr himself nationally to strengthen himself among his redneck base in Texas.

He's gonna come back home and act like a victim of the big evil liberal media and Texas voters are gonna love him that much more.

[Pelicans78]

Perry had the potential to easily win the GOP nomination. He had the money, was not as flawed among Republicans compared to Romney or Gingrich, and was a bible thumper. This is one of the biggest choke jobs in political history.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Rick Perry was plenty flawed. Most Republican candidates weren't previously Al Gore's campaign manager.

How much stronger could the governor for life get in Texas?

Perry fucked up when he stopped talking about handing the keys over to Jesus tbh.

I'm surprised that didn't go over better with Republicans. Using "Jesus will fix our economy!" seemed like a pretty creative way to garner Republican support at the time.

He fucked up by not trying to say god hates Obama and that's why god screwed our economy up. That woulda won some major bible thumper points.

[Pelicans78]

That's true, but from the eyes of hard core Republicans, he was less flawed than Romney and Newt and easily had enough money to win the nominee. He should have easily won the nominee and failed badly.

[JoeChalupa]

If Perry would have agreed to debates in Texas he would never have won re-election. Thank God you can't skip 'em when running for the POTUS.

Remember when everyone penciled in Perry as the winner cause no one wanted to have Romney be the GOP candidate? Yeah I don't either...

It's pretty sad for the Republican party that their candidates sucked so much that a mormon won :lol

That was before they heard him speak. With 93% reporting, Ricky Bobby is at 0.7% of the vote, lolz.

Rick Perry: South Carolina Is The Next Stop

Rick Perry's campaign attempted to downplay his poor showing in New Hampshire, writing in a Tuesday evening statement that, effectively, he hadn't been trying to win the state anyway.

"Tonight's results in New Hampshire show the race for 'conservative alternative' to Mitt Romney remains wide open," Perry said in the statement. "I skipped New Hampshire and aimed my campaign right at conservative South Carolina, where we've been campaigning hard and receiving an enthusiastic welcome."

In fact, Perry spent a good amount of time in the state over the past few months, only bowing out there and heading to South Carolina over the past week.

He made a particularly memorable speech in the state in October, when he hugged a jug of maple syrup and some questioned whether he was drunk. In a November New Hampshire appearance, meanwhile, Perry mistakenly said that the national voting age is 21.

JimmyRicky will probably do a percent or two better in tea baggin', hatin', "Christian", racist SC.

[ChuckD]

Perry had no chance after the first few debates. His only shot was as the Fundy candidate, and since they are sensitive to being portrayed as ignorant and backwards, voting him in wouldn't be the best way to combat that image. If you position yourself as that candidate and finish FIFTH in Iowa, the lilly-white fundamentalist capital of America, you're done.

[George Gervin's Afro]

Great, now he is gong to have to come back to Texas...

[DMX7]

Just imagine Perry debating Obama... what a complete joke that would be. They could broadcast it on Comedy Central.

Struggling, Perry Finds Place Where His Message Sticks

“I prayed about my decision about him,” he said. “I already knew what I wanted, and I found it in him.” He cannot think of a single issue, he said, where he disagrees with Mr. Perry.

Mr. Perry seems to have found in South Carolina a place where he can connect with some crowds, with stump speeches, sometimes before a hundred people, that preach reverence for Jesus Christ and for the military. He appears looser and more confident than he has been for some time, perhaps since the days when he was considered a front-runner, which ended with his string of poor debate performances.

Now, though, he has more humor and humility as he courts the votes of South Carolinians. He recounts a journey from “walking down the aisle of my church and giving my heart to Jesus Christ when I was 14 years old” to “standing up for the Ten Commandments on the grounds of our Capitol in Texas.”

“The fight never ends,” he says.

Not a word about jobs. Fucking religion, fucking America, what a bunch of redneck simpletons.

That's the kind of crap Goodhair should have been saying every second in the debates. Attacking him when he's talking bout his religion would have been like aborting baby jesus to the Fox News crowd.

[DMX7]

He's going to resurrect his campaign Jesus style.
