MURRAY, Ky. (AP) - Texas Gov. Rick Perry threw his support behind U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell on Saturday, telling 300 fellow Republicans that the minority leader will win re-election.
McConnell finds himself in a GOP primary fight with wealthy businessman Matt Bevin, who attended the event but wasn’t allowed to speak.
“I love the number six,” Perry told the crowd at the Lincoln Reagan Dinner of West Kentucky. “Sam Houston was 6 foot 6 inches tall. And Mitch McConnell is going to be in his sixth term as United States senator.”
Organizers said the dinner was supposed to unite the Kentucky GOP behind one mission: taking control of the Kentucky House of Representatives in November. But speakers talked just as much about taking control of the U.S. Senate so McConnell could become majority leader.
“The future of America is inextricably intertwined with Kentucky and how these elections come out this time,” Perry told the crowd.

I’m in a REALLY bad, grumpy mood today. This is just icing on the “in-the-dumps” cake. Then again, I’m not all that surprised.
6 terms .... we need to somehow get term limits in place.

And Mitch McConnell is going to be in his sixth term as United States senator.”
Right there is the problem Mr Perry! NO ONE should be in a position of power and control that long. It becomes about them and not about the people. McConnell needs to go............

Guess there is one more 2016 presidential candidate on the short list that won't have my vote. McConnell has to go. He is an enemy sniper disguised in our uniform in the trees at our backs. Even if we lose the seat, and I don't think we will because Bevin can certainly win it, we'd be better off having an enemy in their own uniform on the field of battle in front of us.

I’ve always said that Rick Perry was not a conservative and is GOPe in the end.
That’s my position and I’m not changing it.
Perry makes conservative noise and that’s all...
