Perry Dissed by Bachmann in Iowa, Event Spokesman Says
WATERLOO, Iowa — Michele Bachmann may have won the Ames Straw Poll, but Rick Perry got the rock star treatment at a packed fundraiser in her hometown of Waterloo, Iowa.
And Bachmann couldn't stand it, said one of the organizers of the event.
Judd Saul, head of the Cedar Valley Tea Party and a spokesman for the Hawk County GOP fundraiser, said Bachmann showed disrespect to Perry and Rick Santorum, both of whom stayed for dinner and did a question-and-answer session with voters.
Saul said Bachmann didn't want to come in while Perry was speaking. She did not enter ...

Perry's out there shooting his mouth off! Michelle Bachmann is the poison at the tip of the spear she spoke about. Both are "Radical TEA party extremist" and have associated themselves with GOD in an effort to bring the evangelicals to vote for their narrow-minded religious based beliefs they want to shove down the throat of the American public! They are as all TEA party members are anti Obama, anti gays, anti Hispanic, anti Islamic, anti government, anti other-than-christian, anti black and on and on and on! The sad result is the defunct GOP as the TEA party has subverted any sanity and taken the once proud GOP to the fringe of lunacy! The GOP is not relevant anymore! Let me repeat that: The sad result is the defunct GOP as the TEA party has subverted any sanity and taken the once proud GOP to the fringe of lunacy!

I find it hard to stomach that during all this campaigning, this man is still the Texas governor and has a huge responsibility to do so. I find it hard to do my own project at work from week to week, let alone what Perry is doing now. Governor should be required to be governors only unti they finish the damn job, then go off and climb the political ladder.

Bachmann's family Iowa when she was a small girl, yet to get votes she has sure pushed her Iowa birth. In fact she said everything she knows she learned in Iowa. She left Iowa at a very early age. She can not know much. The Iowa pitch worked in Iowa, with their seven Electoral votes. But it will not work in other states. Berry has a record Texas Governorship. That means thirty-four electoral votes. Republican votes know the difference. Texas, Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania and he has almost half of the total 270 needed votes. My friends agree Rick Perry is the best chance the Republicans have for defeating Obama.
