Unlike many conservatives who are breathlessly awaiting Texas Governor Rick Perry’s entry into the 2012 presidential race, Fox Business correspondent Charlie Gasparino isn’t holding his breath for a Perry presidency. Gasparino was a guest on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday.

“I talk to a lot of Wall Street guys . . . you know I don’t think a guy from Texas can win again,” he said. “I just think there’s a Texas taint to it all. And I know the big money on the street in New York, I don’t think they’re going to go for a Texan.”

[Tyrs WolfDaemon]

9. Does this make him related to Oily Taint (Orly Taitz)?

[Greybnk48]

[jberryhill]

[Tyrs WolfDaemon]

[Angry Dragon]

16. they make lovely lovers

[MidwestTransplant]

25. Does he have that because he is a Teabagger?

[calimary]

2. I hope that's true. Maybe Wall Street has longer memories than many voters.

Especially CONservative voters and teabaggers.

:puke:

[roguevalley]

15. wall street made the tea bags possible. may they all eat shit and die.

[calimary]

18. Perhaps one from the "be careful what you wish for" file?

They asked for this, didn't they? They wanted it. They maneuvered and manipulated and used their money and power and influence, and now the ugly little piranha they sponsored, nurtured, flattered, overfed, and brought in - is about to eat THEM and everything they care about.

[roguevalley]

26. you bet, honey. truer words never spoken

[jtrockville]

4. Did he elaborate on what, exactly, the "Texas taint" is?

Would love to see a full explanation from him.
Name names.
Cite examples.

[tammywammy]

5. I think it's Houston....

:hide:


I always call it the armpit of Texas.

Love you Houston DUers!

[sharp_stick]

6. No

it's got to be right between Houston and Dallas lining it up to Huntsville. ;-)

[tammywammy]

8. Ahh, the poor Sam Houston statue.

[onestepforward]

19. This statue now has a whole new meaning!

:rofl:

[onestepforward]

17. LOL!

That's it!

[kentauros]

20. Uh-huh.

Ya know... Austin is becoming the third armpit of Texas, supposedly after Dallas and Houston }(

Let us Houton-DUers show you around Houston again. You might be surprised :)


Oh yeah, does Austin have anything like this?





:P :hi:

[emulatorloo]

7. Anybody know who Rove is behind? Romney or Perry? Rumsfeld's elves are schooling Perry on foreign

Policy. Which is a very frightening thing to me.

[grantcart]

12. Rove is gushing for Perry

"half of all new jobs created are in Texas"

and so on.

Rove won't bad mouth Romney but knows that he can't get the nomination without a lot of blood letting and would get waxed by Obama in the general.

Given the Bush's antipathy towards Perry I can only imagine that Rove et al want Perry to run so that it keeps the base intact so that it will be in place to run the next generation of Republicans ala Brown and Rubio in 2016.

[Tyrs WolfDaemon]

14. Your subject line made me picture Rove in his basement...

Useing pics of Perry in place of Porn.


Good thing I'm already off to torch my eyeballs (see #11)

[RainDog]

21. all Republicans are smeared with the "Texas Taint"

I just love that, btw.

Texas Taint. full of bullshit.

[MilesColtrane]

22. The real question is: Is there Santorum on Perry's Texas Taint?

[Supply Side Jesus]

23. that's the response of the week!

and it's only Sunday!LOL

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :spray:

[Warren DeMontague]

24. Nicely played.

:rofl:

[callous taoboy]

27. If that dumbass gets elected I am out of here for sure.
