Rick Perry’s 10th Amendment, small government stand has never been “appreciated” by the GOP establishment. The battle lines have been drawn. Karl Rove (Fox “News” contributor) is certainly in the GOP establishment camp.
When Rove-Bush Machine-Kay Bailey Hutchison ran a primary challenge against Gov. Perry in the last election (Perry won by 20 pts), he certainly didn’t endear himself to the Rockefeller wing of the party.
Like we "Perrywinkles" have been saying from day one it gonna come down to the Rove/Bush/Eastern power candidate Romney or the Republican Governors candidate, Perry.
These governors have been talking about this for years and removing the power from Washington. Jeeze Haley Barbour has his own PAC that he uses to promote candidates and platforms in opposition to the RNC.
Perry is going to win Iowa and Rove and Fox News are going to crap their pants.
What people outside Texas don't understand is this is classic Rick Perry. Just when they think they have him beat, they realize they are the ones losing and it pisses them off because they think they are smarter than Perry. "How is this dumbass beating me at every turn?"
God that is how.
