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.

Romney is an @ss.

Crybaby alert.

Is this the same “reporting” which whined on behalf of Hillary’s “personal space”?

Grow the heck up. Whaaaah.

[cuban leaf]

It IS like a cage match. At least, the crowd is like a cage match crowd.

[Rational Thought]

I'm with you on this. Physically Grabs Perry seems to blow this out of proportion just a tad.

[ChuckHam]

Hopefully Romobama won’t get the nom either.

I do NOT think it’s fine and dandy that Romney just accidentally keeps on hiring illegals.

But this grabbing incident shows a total loss of self-control.

Just because someone interrupts you, you don’t grab him.

If it were his wife, they’d call it domination...maybe even abuse.

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

LOL

I think they should settle this the old way: genuine fist fight. The winner gets the nomination ;)

And they should do it on this song.

Romney interrupted others regularly.

It's a wonder that Perry withstood such an egregious assault. I would recommend that Perry hire a cadre of body guards to protect him from the Mittens.

</sarc>

Seriously though, do you Perry-bots really want to portray Perry as such a wuss?

[xzins]

I watched it multiple times.

His hand clearly is extended and then spread. He is grabbing.

In either case, you don’t reach out and hands-on someone when you’re angry. It’s an intimidation tactic.

Last man standing gets the nod?

The Mormon Protective Association (MPA) wasn’t there to help Romney. They’ll be out in force today, though. Fire a Mormon and the leaders of the church will tell the church members to boycott your business. Give a Mormon a poor job evaluation, and you’ll receive a threat from a higher ranking Mormon. It’s a business and not a religion.

A thin-skinned fella with self-control difficulties. Decidedly un-Presidential.

Looks like someone got carried away when they colored in the red face.

Rick Lazio stepped toward Hillary Clinton on stage, and people said he was “threatening her”. :)

[xzins]

I don’t think Perry was intimidated by Romney’s tactic at all.

But you miss the point. Romney was using a physical intimidation tactic that is way out of bounds.

[cuban leaf]

—Your criticism of Romney on this is valid, and it applies just as much to Perry.—

Go Cain!!!

You should write romance novels.
