Rick Perry Is Out, Backing Newt Gingrich

Deuces!!!!

Governor Rick Perry has recently suspended his campaign for the GOP presidential nominee.  His decision is no surprise in light of the dwindling support he has garnered over the past months. Based on recent polls, Perry was projected to have around 6% of South Carolina's votes, behind Romney, Gingrich, Santorum, and Paul. Although Perry will no longer make an impact on the GOP nomination, he had his fair share of noteworthy moments and controversies while his campaign was still active.  In remembrance of the Texas governor, here are some of Rick Perry's most memorable moments.

The Republican Debate and ..... uhhhhh.... hmmm..... Sorry forgot.

After the time that the media has spent hammering Herman Cain for his ever increasing number of character flaws, I think the media is going to have to split its coverage over two people again. The second person I describe is Rick Perry.

During the debate, he was asked which departments he would close as President. He started out fine naming the first two (education and commerce), but then he got to the third. For me, it was painful to watch. Here he was, a presidential candidate, and he couldn't even remember what he was going to do! He stood there on stage and hemmed and hawed while the rest of his competition through in "helpful" hints that only made him struggle more as he made jokes about it. He finally settled with I can't name the third one. "Sorry. Oops."

Oops is right. If you are a presidential candidate, shouldn't you know what you are going to do once in office? He knew he was going to cut something, he just didn't know what he was going to cut. How is that okay? How can there people who still support him? If he can run for president on a campaign like that, then the people have some serious reasoning issues. A man who has absolutely no clue what he is doing is running for the most politically powerful position in America. That is just not right in my opinion. After tonight, I hope Rick Perry's campaign is derailed. If a man like this becomes president, we all lose. If he can't prepare adequately for a debate, then how can he be expected to run an entire country. Not just Texas, but the entire U.S. If it is any help, I believe the third agency he was trying to remember was energy.
