Perry says he's not done; slams Obama

[TexasTowelie]

ROUND ROCK — Gov. Rick Perry came out swinging Monday in his first speech since dropping out of the presidential race, attacking President Barack Obama for “misguided socialist policies” and vowing to remain in the public fray.

“I'm not slipping off into the sunset,” Perry told a friendly GOP audience. “We've got plenty of work to do right here in the state of Texas. ... And I've got plenty of fighting left in this old 61-year-old body.”

Perry was accompanied by his wife, Anita, for his speech at the Williamson County Republican Party's fundraising Reagan Dinner.

The governor said he wouldn't trade his unsuccessful presidential run “for anything that I have ever done in my 60-plus years of living” and called this “the most important election of our lifetime, whether I'm on the ballot or not.”

1. Why can't more people be

happy drunks?

Why does it always have to come down to fighting?

Why not do like I do and get super smashed, buy random people drinks, hug them, and ask them what they want to hear on the jukebox?

No, it's got to be primed for fighting. C'mon Perry, lighten up.
