A C4P commenter hit the nail on the head today. I decided to post his comment here, because it's exactly how I feel.
Question to any Perry supporter!
Name one foriegn policy position, 1.9 has. For example, is he for waterboarding, does he want to stay in Iraq/Aghanistan, Does he want to stay in Libyia, what's his position on China/India/Russia, does he want to continue to fund Nato/United Nation, what's his position on Iran, if they get a nucluer bomb, Israel/Palestine problem.
Does he want to continue to import oil from abroad, does he want to continue to bail out Eurpoean banks, What will he do to Mexico vis a vie illegal imigration, what's his stance on wiretapping, drones over Pakistan, etc.
You see how little we know about this chump. Sarah has had a Facebook post over the last three years on all these subjects, further, she had a 5 point foreign policy address a few months back.
We can expect Slick Rick to steal all of Sarah's positions. If Rino Fox would only tell the truth about this empty suit!
The same could be said about Perry's domestic policy positions. What are they? Is he in favor of drilling in ANWR? What's his position on off-shore drilling? He supported TARP in 2008. What is his current position on bailouts? Where does he stand on school choice? The list of issues for which Perry's position is unknown is endless.
I checked Perry's campaign website hoping to find answers to some of these questions, but came up empty. Many of his supporters have directed people to his recent book, but he's already backing away from much of what he wrote. When will the press start demanding answers? The upcoming debates should be interesting.
He’s not even my candidate, but words matter, and passengers don’t get tickets, so what you wrote was wrong.
I believe they they can, for not wearing a seat belt, but that was not the case here. Good point Charles. Anyway, traffic tickets are not even on my list of issues.
True. She sounded like she was making it up as she talked.
Because apparently bullying an officer and using your government credentials to exert undue influence doesn't register with you...
I agree but good luck getting that passed.
But it’s not about the traffic ticket, it’s about “bullying an officer” by telling him who you are. :-)
You have awful low standards. We have a golden opportunity to focus on electing anyone we want and people place their focus on Obama. What a strange hold that man has on many of you folks. Obama is already defeated.
BTW, you should actually watch the video. It’s hilarious what some people think of as “intimidation” or “bullying”.
Once you get over the fact that it appears the tape was edited, the parts you DO see are the DRIVER talking to the officer and explaining, the officer already deciding not to give a ticket, and Perry then asking if they could just get on their way because they were late. She was writing a warning at that time — and it is annoying to have to wait for a warning, which is just a piece of paper saying you shouldn’t have been doing what you were doing.
And yes, he was asked about it in 2000, and he said he should have stayed in the car. Apparently, being able to express regret only makes it a more serious issues for some people.
At no time in the video do we see Perry asking the officer to change her opinion — maybe it was in the part of the video that was inexplicably cut out, except since it was posted by an anti-perry person, I doubt they would edit out stuff that made him look bad.
Interesting reads from C4P

One of the comments on youtube claimed that Perry cussed out the officer, but obviously that is missing. Who knows.
If that part of the story is true, and Perry wins the nomination, expect that officer to find some fame in the NYT, NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, etc.
That is pretty weak gruel my friend. You guys are bad about posting links that claim to prove something they don’t.
