Gee that's never been done before.
And there is a difference between hardball and jackass.
IMHO Perry was gang raped on this forum.
The charges where ridiculous. Nobody gave a shit about the record or the good fight he had made in the arena. Yes he stumbled due to being in serious pain.
I still to this day would put Rick Perrys record up against any of the be's or wanna be's
Now we are reduced to Romney and Obama and we are being told to not vote for Romney.
Perry has done more since he dropped out of the race to poke Obama in the eye than any candidate running has done during their entire career. That's just a fact. Perry is a thorn in the side of Obamas EPA
Usually in the eye of the beholder.
Your side had plenty of jackasses. You just didn't see them as such because they were YOUR jackasses.
I felt Perry's heart just wasn't into the run the way it had to be. We saw with Fred last time that you have to have the fire in the belly. I don't know why Perry got into the race, but he didn't want it bad enough. It's a sorry statement about what presidential primaries have become, but it's a fact nonetheless.
And Romney won by destroying all alternatives who did not destroy themselves. The GOP-E sat back and let him engage in scorched-earth politics. FR had little to do with the charred remains of the GOP field.
Same thing happened to Palin, Bachmann, Cain, Newt and Santorum, except I wouldn't use the term that you did to describe it.
Probably you don't see it that way because Perry was your candidate.
