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.

Still doubters out there about Perry's RINOcity?

[rktman]

Survey says............WRONG!!!! Not a good move there Ricky.

I never had a lot of use for our Gov Pointy Boots……….

He probably got elected because of his good looks…………….

[Tenacious 1]

I didn’t expect that. But maybe I haven’t been paying close enough attention.

disappointing

[WinMod70]

I’ve pretty much given up on sanity returning.

disappointing

Perhaps, but consistent with Perrys' beliefs.

LMMFAO!

Nice move, Rickster.

Not.

Hope you aren’t planning on stumbling for president again, chump.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Un-freeping-believable.

Ricky should just keep his mouth shut and let the people of Kentucky decide.

So, what’s the ‘scandal’ here? Palin endorsed McCain during the primary in 2010. Who cares? Bevin is not going to win, so it’s a smart political move.

That’s alright Dick’. We’ll make sure you won’t run for prez a second time...

Rick Perry - GOP-E with a twang.

There goes his POTUS hopes!

It's called a matter of principle, and if you are going to lead, especially if you want Tea-Party support, you'd better lead with it!

Perry’s planning to run for President, so he probably is doing this for obviously future political gain. I don’t know much about the Ky. race.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

He is vying to be the establishment’s alternative to JEB.

[Timber Rattler]

And thus La Raza Rick flushes away his second chance at a POTUS run...

If a McConnell win were certain, Perry would have been wiser to withhold endorsement from either.

Perry was probably well paid to voice his support for McConnell. However, Perry will never again get any majority of TEA Party support for any campaign.

Ouch, that will leave a mark.
