Well the reason I don’t know about the history on those Perry threads, is that I don’t read them.
Last time I went deliberately onto a Perry thread I think, Palin was still in the running. Somewhere around the time of her speech at Indianola, when she spend an hour after the speech milling with her supporters, and it was all covered on CSPAN.
Funny thing is, what you’re saying here about Cain supporters, is almost exactly what was being complained about then, about Palin supporters.
:D
They're pretty much the same posters.
There was a particularly nasty group of Palin supporters on here who were quite vicious on any Perry threads.
This same small group has transferred their adoration and associated bad behavior to Cain.
What they need to understand is that they insisted on the other candidates being vetted; they should not complain about this being done for their own.
Well, I advise you not to go on Perry threads if you want to continue having any respect for the Cain supporters who post there.
I posted a thread today, a relatively unbiased article from the Dallas morning News talking about the judges Perry has appointed to the Texas Supreme Court. He’s appointed more judges than any other governor.
In Texas, judge are elected and serve 6 year terms (good idea for the Supreme Court in my opinion — might make it ten years, but not life).
The governor can appoint a judge to fill a seat that is vacant but that judge will have to run for election eventually.
Some of the criticism was that the judges he appointed were too conservative and too pro-business and various other complaints but many were favorable also.
The thing I found fascinating about it was that it showed Perry’s record.
A record ! Amazing. You may not like everything Perry does but you can look up and see what he’s done about every issue.
Cain has no record at all. We just don’t know, do we?
I think that may be the attraction for some people ... a nice blank slate where you can put all your hopes and dreams ... but that could be dangerous.
Anyway, immediately a certain person - familiar to all - pops on that thread whining because Perry didn’t appoint some judge this person liked. The particular judge ran twice for election after that and lost both times and this poster blamed Perry for it! Hah.
