I love that Rick Perry is not in the mix.

[Renew Deal]

He can take his ego and go home. Maybe he even quits after today.

[Old and In the Way]

1. I have to admit, I thought he would be a formidable candidate when he first jumped into the race.

Obviously, I hadn't paid any attention to him while he was governor. But I was really surprised at how poor a candidate he really was. Frankly, I have no idea how he ever became Governor of Texas. What a clueless goofball.

2. Ditto.

a dumbfuck

[northoftheborder]

3. He stepped into the job when the clueless goofball named GWB

was "selected".

[Old and In the Way]

4. Only guy that could possibly make GWB look halfway intelligent.

Probably why W chose him to be Lt Governor in the 1st place...no worry about getting upstaged.

6. To paraphrase an old axiom: It is better to have people think you a fool

than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Perry is a political tool and a mental midget. He could not have made governor of Texas without having backers and puppeteers in the wings.

5. he would probably have won the nomination if he ran in 2000 instead of Bush

[MoonRiver]

7. Same here. I despise him above all the others.

Although Newt is pretty close.
