"But the real question is: Does Governor Perry continue to believe that Social Security should not be a federal program, that it's unconstitutional and it should be returned to the states, or is he going to retreat from that view?"
In other words: Is my opponent an extremist who'd lead the party to ruin or a weasel who can't stand by his guns?
On the Texas economy, Romney said, "I think Governor Perry would agree with me that if you’re dealt four aces, that doesn't make you necessarily a great poker player."
Earlier Romney had sounded the same note, saying that Perry surely wouldn't take credit for Texas for having (1) no income tax; (2) lax union protections; (3) oil and gas in the ground; and (4) a Republican legislature. That would be like Al Gore taking credit for inventing the Internet, he joked.

As I said before, if not Perry, it's Romney and if it's Romney, it's Obama. All the other candidates are just distractions, helping Romney get the nomination because conservatives are attacking Perry, instead of supporting him.
As I also said before, Perry got the "when did you stop beating your wife" gotcha questions from everyone.
Perry ping — inside the article.
Republican establishment trying to stampede conservatives by presenting a false choice between two RINOs, Romney and Perry.
We will see a lot of this in coming days.
Romney is one of the most disgusting public figures I have ever seen.
He is clueless and without integrity of any form.
He’d sell his mother let alone his nation.

The tree.
Gov. Perry? Best of luck to him, in the current field.
I’m poaching part of your post for my new tagline.
I agree.
Been saying for months they were going to shove this RINO down our throats.
I’ll never vote for him.
None of them are acceptable. I will not vote for “McRomneyCare” nor witless Perry.
Romney is the heavyweight zeppelin in a field of zeppelins.
As I said before, if not Perry, it’s Romney and if it’s Romney, it’s Obama
- - - -
And as I said before you are wrong. It isn’t either of the two. We need a conservative and Perry ain’t it.
FTR, I hate Mitt Romney.
Go Romney, I guess....
It is a false choice, but the Perry bots don’t get that.
And he has no qualms about lying to get what he wants.
Go ahead, keep bashing Perry
When Perry stops bashing us conservatives, then maybe we will stop saying we don't agree with his stupid ideas.
do NOT listen to the RINOstablishment!
when this gets down to a 2 man race, Cain will pummel Romney.
