"Well, you can make the argument that if she doesn’t have this baby, if she kills her child, that that, too, could ruin her life… I believe and I think the right approach is to accept this horribly created — in the sense of rape — but nevertheless a gift in a very broken way, the gift of human life, and accept what God has given to you. As you know, we have to, in lots of different aspects of our life. We have horrible things happen. I can’t think of anything more horrible. But, nevertheless, we have to make the best out of a bad situation."

BBC News - Rick Perry ends White House bid and backs Newt Gingrich

Where did it all go wrong?

1 Oct: Raises eyebrows after saying he would consider sending US troops into Mexico to fight drug war

28 Oct: An unusually animated speech by Perry in New Hampshire prompts him to deny speculation he was drunk or on medication

10 Nov: In a debate, Perry can’t remember the name of a third government department he would eliminate if elected

29 Nov: Mistakenly refers to the minimum voting age as 21 (it’s 18)

8 Dec: Corrects himself after saying US had been at war in Iran, rather than Iraq

9 Dec: Says eight justices sit on the Supreme Court (the number is nine)

3 Jan: Reconsiders campaign after flop in Iowa, only to change his mind, distributing a photo of himself in athletic attire, giving a thumb-up

11 Jan: Attacks Romney as a “vulture” capitalist, provoking conservative outcry that he should not criticise the free-market system

16 Jan: His remark in a TV debate that Turkey is ruled by “Islamic terrorists” is seen as yet another gaffe

This isn’t actually a photo of Obama watching Saturday night’s GOP Iowa debate, but it might as well be.

Flag Rick Perry’s ad as hate speech. Discriminating against gays in the military is just that. (Thanks for the rec, Hez!)
Also, 464 likes. 15,810 dislikes. A good straw poll indicator for your primaries, Mr. Perry.

Team Coco: The new Herman Cain ads are a real party.

"U.S. taxpayers shelled out about three trillion dollars for the Bush/Cheney wars in Iraq and Afghanistan—a major factor in our nation’s present economic meltdown. But Cheney and his cronies at Halliburton made out like bandits, getting billions in contracts for everything from feeding troops in Iraq to constructing the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan to building the infamous Guantanamo prison. Cheney was CEO of Halliburton from 1995-2000, leaving for the VP position with a $20 million retirement package, plus millions in stock options and deferred salary. Before the Iraq War began, Halliburton was 19th on the U.S. Army’s list of top contractors; with Cheney’s help, by 2003 it was number one—increasing the value of Cheney’s stocks by over 3,000%."
