Has Perry been campaigning outside of Texas the last few days?

during the wild fires.

Just curious, since he is making noises about not going to their debate tomorrow because of the wild fires/

Did these wild fires not start the last of August?

1. Perry is too scared to debate people. It'll show his drooling clown-like nature. n/t

:scared:

How would Perry help the put out the fires? Tax breaks? Cut funding for the forest service and firefighters? Chew holes in the hoses?

2. I think Mr Concerned is worried about facing his competition also

9. He Did Not Debate For Governor

He came up with a lame excuse that Bill White did not release all his financial information. Note. Perry hadn't released all of it either.

So...he is out of practice when it comes to debates.

I am sure when he becomes the Republican nominee he won't debate Obama until Obama comes up with a Birth Certificate that meets all the looney fringe's requirements and produces 10-20 live witnesses to the birth. Nothing TOO extreme. (sarcasm)

3. They just talked about this on the Thom Hartmann Show.

A caller from Texas was saying he's a poor debater and will duck out of a debate if he can.

5. Didn't he refuse to debate his last opponent in any format? n/t

[lob1]

7. Yes, that's what the caller said. She (the caller) also said

she thought Perry might use the fire to stay home and duck tomorrow's debate.

8. Perry (R) is helping by begging America for a Socialism Handout

The Republicons "think" that what they call 'socialism' is eeeevil, unless it is for them, in which case it has the Blessings of Jeebus.

4. It is just now that he figured out that he better look concerned!

[Peacetrain]

6. That is the vibe I am picking up..

10. If He Sprays His Hair Next to the Fires, That'll Only Make It Worse

Better he stay away.

11. He missed the forum yesterday.

Five major Republican presidential contenders paraded their conservative credentials Monday at the Palmetto Freedom Forum in Columbia, S.C., the first of several events this month that signal the slow-to-start GOP contest is moving into a higher gear.

Missing from the stage was Perry, who bowed out at the last minute to return home to deal with wildfires raging across thousands of acres in Texas.
