Jim Hightower may just have finished Perry's hopes for the
Presidency. He's on with Lawrence and is gutting him. How he cut the funds and Texas is burning and all that good stuff.

3. Hightower was dishing the dirt on the guy. He's also (Perry) not
very smart. Hightower said he's an inept debater with a thin skin...Bwahaha. Oh he'll do well in this debate. Perhaps his last one.

6. I'm betting he's going to bail on the debate
because of all the fires.

2. O'Donnell is a voice in the wilderness
In every other corner of the corporate media, (p)Rick Perry is still the Golden Boy.

8. I doubt that Perry's supporters care.
This stuff might eventually be relevant if Perry wins the GOP nomination - But in the mean time any attacks against Perry will be whimsically dismissed as irrelevant by the GOP army of true believers.

16. At this point, Perry's biggest weakness is his moments of making sense on immigration.
The weakness that might hurt him with the Republican base is the stuff like allowing undocumented immigrant children to attend public universities at the in-state tuition rate. That will cost him more votes in the primaries than will any bit of rabid anti-government lunacy.

I agree with you that the lunacies won't matter until the general election.

11. Looking at the fires in Texas
I think Baal wants Perry to be President, but 1,000 homeless families is not good governing, hair or no hair (brain or no brain).

12. Jim was on MSNBC last week too talking about Perry. Perry didn't drop out last week...
and I doubt he will drop out this week either.

Probably after a couple of debates Perry will lose support when people hear him try to answer questions.

13. He shoulda taken over after Ann Richards
Texas would be in great shape if Jim was in charge. We all would be better off, and many mountains of dead bodies fewer.

15. Let's hope he mentions those 20 FEMA grants for firefighting
and stars asking Perry just what happened to all that money.

25. K&R for Jim Hightower.
Jim Hightower fells the same way about "Pragmatic Centrists" that I do.

are Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos."
