For Perry, A Rapid Fundraising Rise -- and Fall

Texas governor meeting Friday with Washington insiders after big fundraising dropoff.

By Reid Wilson and Peter Bell

Texas Gov. Rick Perry kicked off his presidential campaign with an aggressive fundraising schedule that quickly made him a front-runner for the Republican nomination. But reports his campaign filed with the Federal Election Commission show that his ability to attract big money fell off steeply in September—perhaps not coincidentally—at the same time a series of rocky debate performances threatened his early front-runner status.

As Perry arrives on Friday in Washington for a private meeting with K Street insiders, the question is whether he can convince the smart money that his campaign is worth an investment.

I can’t imagine that any GOP candidate would want you for a supporter, the way you insult and trash people.

You are telling one lie after another on this thread with your long winded rants. You have no credibility. How much are you being paid to slime and smear Governor Perry?

I see you are tag teaming with Liz the slime and smear Queen. Too bad you can’t state opinions without insults and trash.

Not really. You support Cain, well that is your choice. He has been making some serious gaffes, but he has been let off scott free. I will be supporting Perry, as I think he is the best choice.

Yes, you are correct. If Perry is so far down in the polls and supposedly on his last leg, why is he being so viciously attacked on Free Republic and other conservative sites?

Cain’s still in third for states.

Perry: 18

LA - AL - TN - IN - KY - MO
OK - KA - ND - SD - ID - MT
NM - AZ - CO - AR - MS - AK

Romney: 17

CA - WA - OR - UT - WY - WI
MI - PA - MD - DE - RI - NY
CT - NH - VT - ME - MA

Cain: 13

Cain needs just 4 states, (TN, IN, KY and WY) to take the lead.

You can only keep up the lie for so long before someone calls you on it. Consider yourself “Called”.

Not to mention that Perry has been taking in about 4 times as many dollars in donations compared to Cain, in the last week.

Perry supporters in Texas keep saying what a great job he is doing fighting illegal immigration and the border invasion . Today Mark Levin was talking about a news piece today where Mexican drug cartels are "set up in every major Texas city". Now recruiting Texas children:

“...the slime and smear Queen....state opinions without insults and trash.”

Let me know when you come up with something better. I’m not interested in the “Pharisees’ guide to moral superiority.” FReep on!
