Simple slip of the tongue. Doesn’t disturb be a bit. Not worth mentioning actually.
So he misplaced a couple of centuries!
It’s not like he’s soft on illigal immigration or anything...
Easy mistake, he subtracted instead of added 1 to 17__. I have to pause and think about it myself and I have reason to know.
Oh good grief! It was a slip of the tongue. Do you honestly believ that Perry thinks the Revolution was fought in the 1500’s? Why play the liberals stupid little game?

I wonder if Yahoo was concerned if the gaffe was with regard to the rights of all 57 states.
It happens to the best of us.
I’d cut him some slack on this. I always screw up centuries, so I generally refer to years like 1700s so I don’t have to figure out on the fly whether to add one or subtract one to see if the Revolutionary War was in the 18th or 16th century.
Obama signed the British Visitor’s Registry 2008...in 2011!!!
Is Dartmouth College near our 57th state?
Honestly I’m not thrilled with the American Idol style judgements we’re using for these debates. On the other hand it has forced me to go looking for more info and frankly to me, it looks like Bachmann has the most comprehensive and clear plans.
Obviously this is just a listing but more explanation can be found on her site under issues.

1.REPATRIATION (I don’t really understand this one)
2.CUT SPENDING AND GOVERNMENT.
3.REPEAL OBAMACARE.
4. CUT TAXES.
5. REPEAL THE JOBS AND HOUSING DESTRUCTION ACT, ALSO KNOWN AS DODD-FRANK.
6. LEGALIZE AMERICAN ENERGY PRODUCTION AND AMERICA’S NATURAL RESOURCES.
7. REPEAL JOB KILLING REGULATIONS.
8. INCREASE EXPORTS.
9. UNLEASH AMERICAN INVESTMENT
10. PAVE A PATHWAY FOR INNOVATION.
11. ENFORCE AMERICAN IMMIGRATION LAWS.
I really don’t care about the American Idol judgements. I want something real.
yahoo can piss off, and take a long ride on the Intercontinental Railroad with Hussein. Through all 57 states.
And yet the MSM never mentions, corpesman, 57 states or the intercontinental railroad. Even spell check knows it is supposed to be corpsman. Too many gaffes to count but no one points out what an idiot our fake President is.
Is there any audio or video evidence? I can already tell that the line in the article is not transcribed correctly, where the word “if” is written instead of “of” (o and i are right next to each other.)
So is there any proof that he actually said it, and it wasnt misheard or the writer just made it up? And shouldnt someone make sure their writing is flawless before they cast judgement on someone else’s (supposed) mis-statement.
But it is interesting, having read the dabte thread last night, that Perry looked to have a good night, with good answers; and now all of the people who didnt like him to begin with are trying to say he had a bad debate or bring up something stupid like this.
YEAH and CAIN thinks his
great
economic mental giant Rich Lowrie has moved to Texas.
But hey that apparently happen in the last two weeks. cain can’t remember where his econ advisor lives. Oh that’s ok. Cainiacs don’t care.
I want to see a Post/Thread on Ron Paul’s “eyebrow malfunction”. It was the most entertaining thing in last night’s debate.
“Our Founding Fathers never meant for Washington, D.C. to be the fount of all wisdom,”
Purists might quibble that at the time the Constitution was signed in 1787, the U.S. capital was Philadelphia. While the Constitution alludes to a “District” that would become the new capital, no one knew its location or name until 1791.
But this misses Perry’s larger, quite correct, point: the Founders never envisioned the central government/national capital being the fount of all wisdom. Apart from the hypocrisy of the MSM’s ignoring equivalent, much larger gaffes on Obama’s part (most 1st graders know there aren’t 57 states), this kind of nitpicking betrays the pointed lack of interest by MSM reporters in even trying to intelligently understand what Perry is trying to say as opposed to just trying to take cheap shots to take him down. Were they to engage in the equivalent behavior towards Barack Obama, they would immediately be accused of racism.
He knows that we don’t have 57 states, doesn’t he?
Sorry guys, he’s another W. “Compassionate conservatism” (under another name) with a sloppy, slow tongue, and all....
That may roll in Texas, but the USA AIN’T TEXAS.
