Rick Perry Can Come Back, Experts Say.

[candycorn]

So what was wrong with what I said. Wasn't Romney the one who was seated as a Democrat and then one day decided he was a Republican? Or was that someone else?

Was Romney Gore's Campaign manager then decided he wasn't even a Democrat? Or was that someone else?

You tell me.... c'mon....whatcha scared of?

Anyway, about Perry...

Was he always pro wildfire? He seems to be hesitant to put them out?

Was he always a Republican? He seems to have switched that position.

Was he always for a small government? He seems to want to make sure your daughter gets an STD vaccine injection even if she's not sexually active; courtesy of the government.

Was he always for the State's right to confiscate private property? He's sponsoring doing just that with the TTC.

Do tell.

A simple "no, he didn't change a single position" would have sufficed.

Romney switched Parties. Good, we agree.

Now, was Perry always a pyromaniac, for forced injections of dangerous drugs to teenaged girls, for the government being able to confiscate your property just for shits and giggles, and for switching parties just to advance his career?

A simple yes or yes will suffice.

Well?

Don't run like a little bitch, defend your boy there Missy.

Obama loves America more

You really believe that?

I think you're sniffing paint.

It is blatantly obvious that Obama loves our country more than Rick Perry does. Obama wears a flag on his lapel, while Perry is obviously ashamed of our country (maybe that's why he wants to secede) and refuses to wear the flag

That's funny...the lapel thing.

It ain't over till it's over.....but Perry is awfully close to striking out

The press has made a monument of Perry's speech errors and molehills of Obama's.

The press has ignored the unemployment rate of Obama's and completely omitted Perry's overachievement in employing persons who need jobs.

If Americans want their college graduates to be employed, they will forgive Perry's foot-in-mouth mistakes and pinpoint his opponent's massive American unemployment line that stretches from Coast to Coast, with a little blip in Texas, where Rick Perry saw to it that 49% of all new jobs created in this country landed in the Lone Star State.

It's all up to the American people. If they let the press lead them around by the nose to make the next election all about anything except job creation, America will be in a world of hurt, and people will feel the press betrayed them, because even here, many of them don't even know the depth of their betrayal by the press.

But I do.

You have been equally duped and betrayed.

I'm going to bed...feel free to make political hay on the suffering of the Texas wild fires to your liberal hearts content...what an asshole.

Its not his job to put them out? Most people would say yes. I guess in GOP land, the governor gets a pass on not putting out a fire....strange world you live in.

It seemed to be important enough for him to duck the debate--thus politicizing it in the first place. We now see why. He vomited on himself as I recall Brit Hume saying.

Get some rest; you need it.

Funny I don't see people criticizing Arizona's and Cali's Governor during wild fires.

I'm not a Perry fan, but you are going over board on that one.

They are not making it an issue by saying it was so important, they pulled out of one debate....only to attend another debate 72 hours later when there was more cameras there.

They've been going since January according to the Sate of Texas Governor's website.

Probably making too much of it; you're right. I apologize. The Presidency is certainly one job where there won't be anything coming across his desk as complex as fire and what to do to it.

Perry looks like a fifth grader giving an oral book report on a book he didn't read.

And Obama is perhaps the greatest political orator of our times...how's that worked out so far?

A good friend of mine is a manipulative con man...but a very polished speaker.

I'm an honest man, but not a great speaker.

Who would you vote for?

Perry tells the truth even when it hurts him...he isn't smooth...he doesn't try to varnish over it.

Maybe I missed something. What is this great and noble truth he's told at his own expense? I really have seen anything from him that struck me that way.

Romney is smooth, he says all the right things, he won't tell you Romneycare was bad law...he won't say the mandate was wrong like Perry said he was wrong.

Romney's has zero integrity...he was for everything liberal when he was governor of liberal state...and now he is for everything conservative. Who does he think he's fooling?

These new conservative values will be dropped as quickly as they were acquired a soon as they impede Romney's political desire. Believe that.

Like a tumbleweed, Romney's conservative roots are so shallow that the first strong gust that strains him will uproot him and he'll blow with any political wind that catches the public support.

I trust Perry to do what we are sending him to Washington to do...I trust Romney to do what's best for Romney.

What are you sending him to Washington to do and what has he said about how he'll do it? Again, I haven't heard anything from the man, other than "Hey! I'm a Texan Christian Job Creator! Don't Believe me? Ask all them people all minimum wage! Oh, and sorry abot the state deficit..."

Seriously, I was expecting SO much better from the GOP for this election...

Republicans once taught me a fool proof way to tell if someone loves this country. If they wear a flag lapel pin, they are saying "Damn, I love this country and want everyone to know it" Obama obviously loves this country

In looking at recent GOP debates, very few of the candidates are willing to show they love this country. They will spout how their faith is better than someone elses but they are ashamed to show that they love this country

I, for one, would never vote for someone who does not wear a flag on their lapel

Well, Sir Elvis, you just described what back pain does to a person. I guess I will have to put Governor Perry back on my healing prayer list.

Thanks for sharing your insights.

Thanks, all, for sharing your thoughts as well.

love,

becki

imagine that 3 am phone call. and president perry can't reach the phone because of back pains.

Rick Perry is done. He could never hold his own in a debate with obama. He doesn't think fast enough to counter obama's lies. Then too, he's started making excuses for his poor performance. He's tired, it's because he's Christian. This is too close to obama making excuses for all his failures. I started out being strong for Perry. He is not worth it.

yeah, run with that.

I believe Tipsy meant that among Perry's excuses, are that:
1. He's tired
2. He's a Christian (and therefore unfairly attacked).

Not SURE but that's the impression I get...

As stated, my reasons are different. The immigration issue will hurt him unless he pulls a "W" and says "what I meant by that is exactly the opposite of what I meant by that."
Big government in Texas will hurt him. Deficit / Spending will hurt him. All that will be bad with his base.
Highest number of uninsured
Highest minimum wage jobs
Coming across as really stupid in the debates
Love of death penalty and certain the government never makes mistakes
Love of Big Government intereference in social issues
Will hurt him with Independents, Moderates, Reagan Dems etc.... the people he needs to win in 2012

None of your reasons impact Perry at all. He started out on top. There is only ONE thing that hurt Perry and that's Perry. Once he got on the national stage, he flubbed it, badly. After he flubbed it, he started making excuses. Thank you for understanding what I meant by the way. I figured only a leftist would miss it.

i perfectly understood this post of yours. the other one not so much.

it's not because i might be a leftist, though.

work on your sentence structure.

That would be the part in bold. I actually liked the first speech I saw him give but after that, it's been downhill.
Seriously, the guy needs to cut down on his dosage of Valium...

 

[elvis]

Well, wait a minute. Rick Perry is kind of like herpes.

 

[freedombecki]

ok, i admit I thought he was gonna win in 2012. so much for "When You ASSUME"

who knew he'd get killed in the debates? how the hell did he become governor with debating skills like that?

In Texas, he was Lt. Governor and when Bush left, he ascended to the Governor slot. If it were John Doe who was Lt. Governor, John Doe would still be governor.

There was a very good reason he had to rush back to Texas and avoid the first debate as it turns out; it had nothing to do with wildfires (still burning by the way).

John Doe? Sorry, only 2 governors in the history of Texas have been elected governor more than once. George W. Bush and Rick Perry. Perry is a well-liked man in his home state, and so was President Bush.

Texans know who's naughty and nice, and we love really nice men and women who respect God and other people.

Bill Clements was elected twice; as was John Connally, as was Dolph Briscoe.

The voting population in Tex-A$$ is notoriously intellectually incurious. I was listening to a specialist commenting about the amazingly un-agressive media in that state. They don't have news, they have sports news. The typical news that's reported there is on the sensational side, car chases, missing young blondes, a black crime, state/county events. It goes on and on, etc., etc. Political news, however...not-so-much.

I'm quite sure any HONEST Texan would concur.

Spot on.

In essence, Perry’s problem is Perry.
