Governor Perry AGAIN mis-remembered the three agencies he planned on abolishing (by Presidentail fiat??):
http://nation.foxnews.com/rick-perry/2012/01/13/oops-he-did-it-again-perry-forgets-three-federal-agencies-he-wants-abolish
“‘Commerce, Interior, and Energy are the three that you think of.’ Problem: Those are NOT the three he had previously not been able to name. He swapped Interior for Education”
A serious presidential candidate, after the first “oops,” would know the names of the agencies as well as he knows the names of his three sons.
A serious constitutional conservative would know that unlike the Department of Education and Energy, the Department of the Interior is both very old–dating back to before the Civil War–and has a mandate that in large measure corresponds to powers actually delegated to the central government, e.g., regulation of the property of the United States.
Governor, please withdraw. You’re getting in the way of the serious conservative candidates.

who are the
Ender (Diary) Friday, January 13th at 11:36AM EST (link)“serious conservative candidates” now?
“To discuss evil in a manner implying neutrality, is to sanction it.” AR
Newt Gingrich...far more conservative that Mitt Romney...
APA Guy (Diary) Friday, January 13th at 12:14PM EST (link)and Rick Santorum, but able to answer questions on the fly with skill and precision.
eh
Ender (Diary) Friday, January 13th at 12:25PM EST (link)Santorum is only conservative on Social Issues, everything else from him is just talk inconsistent with his voting record. He is a nanny state non-conservative.
Gingrich is conservative and I like him, or liked him before the Bain attack, but the amount of skeletons in his closet casts a lot of doubt on the adjective “serious”. He is unelectable imo.
“To discuss evil in a manner implying neutrality, is to sanction it.” AR
You know what? Screw Gingrich's "skeletons"...
APA Guy (Diary) Friday, January 13th at 2:35PM EST (link)I live in a conservative part of a conservative state (Indiana). I speak with voters several times a day. NONE of them express ANY concerns about his “skeletons”, but rather are concerned with jobs and high gas prices. Newt was the MAN the last time we successfully addressed any of those two issues.
He is our best, most viable conservative option IMHO.
It's not conservatives that will sink Newt and reelected Obama

I find no value in your post whatsoever...
texastaxpayer (Diary) Friday, January 13th at 1:40PM EST (link)You base your whole decision on rhetoric? Your a joke. We are electing the leader of the free world here. A serious job that takes a serious person with a serious resume. We need someone who can step into the role and deliver results. Considering all that’s at stake what is wrong to you? He misspoke in his 50th speech today, that proves he isn’t a president. Can you hear yourself? Do you actually read this tripe before you post it? If you want a slick flashy well spoken used cars salesman as a leader might I suggest the democratic party. They’re leader is already everything your looking for and certainly a great deal better at the rhetoric than anyone in the GOP field. As for me I want a serious man with a serious record that demonstrates his ability to succeed. That isn’t Flip Romney, Spend Somemore Santorum or Baggagetrain Gingrich. The only president we have to offer is Rick Perry, a vote against him is a vote against your future. Get serious or join the rest of the dumbacrats supporting Obama.

joey7766 Friday, January 13th at 2:32PM EST (link)THE TALKING HEADS LITTLE BY LITTLE CHIP AWAY AT ONES VIEW! I HAVE NOT GIVEN UP ON PERRY, HIS ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS HOPE HE PULLS IT OFF! TEXAS IS GREAT- THAT IS WHAT AMERICA COULD HAVE IF HE WINS!!
Couldn't have said it better myself
laura211 Saturday, January 14th at 6:48PM EST (link)As Perry says, we have a great debator in the WH and look where its gotten us? Does anyone ever remember Bush 43 being a great debator?
Personally, it all about culture; people in the North talk fast, people in the south talk slow (I can say that as I’m from GA).
I’d rather have a doer than a talker anyday
Went back and listened to the tape again....
WillWong (Diary) Friday, January 13th at 2:53PM EST (link)Incredible…He did replaced the Department of the Interior for Education….Good man with a great record…I just pray that he has a great heart as well to help galvanize conservatives around just one candidate to stop Romney!
Perry replaced one agency, but named three
center77 (Diary) Friday, January 13th at 2:58PM EST (link)we should at least report correctly on this issue.

I'm not really in favor of calling on candidates to drop out, in general
Finrod (Diary) Friday, January 13th at 3:05PM EST (link)I’m fully expecting Perry to pull the plug on his campaign after he doesn’t make the top three in South Carolina. If he insists on trundling onto Florida after that, then I agree it’s time for people to tell him to give it up.
Let’s get down to brass tacks here. How much for the ape?
