Romney Loses Cool & Physically Grabs Perry; Perry Does Not Touch Romney

Romney gets very frustrated and reaches out and grabs Perry on national TV.

This willingness on his part to engage in physical contact during a verbal disagreement is really troubling.

Shortly afterwards he begins to belittle Perry, he begins to lecture, he whines about the rules, he gets very red-faced, and he totally loses his cool.

I'm sure I don't want this man with his finger on the button. He can't seem to handle stress.

He obviously got physical. It's a matter of record.

Give me a break! He put his hand on Perry’s shoulder when he wouldn’t shut up and kept interrupting. How these things get exagerated is beyond me.

Perry egged Romney on and Romney lost his cool.

It reminded me of the Tom Cruise movie in which he, as a naval lawyer, eggs on Jack Nickols, a Marine Colonel, who totally loses cool, too.

Red-faced Romney resorted to schoolyard antics.

In fact, throughout the evening Romney would laugh derisively at anyone who said anything to him. He’d toss his head back and out would come that haughty laugh.

I don’t understand why Perry didn’t object to that. It made my scalp tingle.
There’s a shot of it on the cnn site, where Romney looks quite apeshift.

Gov. Perry carries. He's used his carry to shoot a carrion eater (coyote) before. Mitty better be careful.

This is not an exaggeration.

Romney reached out an grabbed Perry’s shoulder.

Romney was clearly mad, red-faced, and I really wonder about his self-control.

Personally, I thought Perry was obnoxius. He wouldn’t let Romney speak and ran all over his words, making accusations about him hiring illegals.

I had my tree cut the other day and of course the landscaper spoke English but the workers did not, and seemed to be illegal. Typically they are, and are underpaid by the man running the operation. It was the same problem Romney had and he fired the landscapers twice for it, saying he was in politics and running for office and couldn’t afford to be known to be using illegals. I’m sure that is exactly how it went, it’s pretty near impossible to use a landscaper without getting illegals in their employ.

I didn’t like Perry’s accusations and I didn’t like the tactic of talking over Romney when the rules were to let the other guy repsond for 30 seconds uninterupted.

Seriously, he could use some anger management classes.

Perry did the same to nutburger Ron Paul not long ago.
Your criticism of Romney on this is valid, and it applies just as much to Perry.

And despite that, Perry will not rise substantially in the polls and won’t get the nomination.

Really? Who does that in a debate? It was creepy. Add in there Mittens glassy stare and smile while others are talking and it points to a man not wrapped too tight.

This is the first clip from the debates that I have been exposed to. What a joke. It’s entertainment and ratings. It’s not an election process as people understand it.

And both of those guys look like boobs, though I normally like them smaller and of a different consistency.

If you call that move as being grabbed you have never been grabbed by a man. He placed his hand on his shoulder he didn’t grab him—you totally misrepresented his actions.
