Rick Perry’s ‘oops’ moment
The Daily Caller ^ | 11/09/2011 | Matt Lewis

During Wednesday night’s CNBC debate, Rick Perry couldn’t recall the third department he would eliminate. Will this end his campaign — or just be a bump in the road?

Yep and Romney always wins no matter how much he stutters and dodges questions. Well we decide who wins. Its the record not the debate performance that matters alone. When it comes down to one on one with Obama its going to take a fighter. I feel for Perry though I’m not specifically supporting him. He is trying to be Governor and run for President. That has to be tough. The man needs sleep.

To his credit, Gov. Perry didn’t grumble “aw sh!t!” like I would have done...

LOL! Same here!

Stupid is as stupid does. $55 million in cash from his Houston crony capitalists and illegal alien employers can’t fix Perry’s level of stupid. Perry will stay in the race, and never again rise above 9.99% in the polls.

Non-event and anyone who claims it as proof of him not being an able candidate is a hypocrite beyond belief. Who has not had one of those oops moments when something you have discussed over and over again simply escapes you for a moment?

In every single debate?

I really wanted Perry to live up to the hype, but he's an embarrassment. Game over.

I can only hope that Cain weathers the smears: otherwise it's game over for the USA.

Instead of speaking from the heart, he tried to recite a sound bite and along the way he forgot where he was going.

Not a big Perry fan - but c’mon - everyone has a brain cramp now and then.

and if it were OBAMA on the other side, with Nominee Perry going in for the kill.....and WHIFFING? You are ok with that? No f-ing way. Politics 'aint beanbag. I feel bad for the guy, a fine Christian man. But we need someone to shred the Pretender. Perry CANNOT do it. Period.

He was already damaged, and he's been my gov for what 10 years. Texas did well in spite of him or GWB. Thank you Tenessee for helping us in the ALAMO.

I am a fairly competent trial attorney. That being said, I performed at a mock trial that was going to be videotaped. I was fine until that light went on. To this day, I can’t bring myself to look at that tape. His record should be what counts, but it won’t be. That was awful.

Perry is a joke. I can’t imagine any conservative supporting this ignoramus. This isn’t funny anymore, he’s a dolt of the first order.

How did Texans elect this moron in the first place?

I had to go pick up a kid at 9pm but I started watching it and was most impressed by Perry, Cain and Gingrich. Sorry to hear Perry slipped up but I seriously doubt many people were watching CNBC. The crowd seemed lively and were giving the mods a lot of trouble from what I saw.

Here's something odd....

CNBC is having their “post game” show right now, in which the candidates are being interviewed. Noticeably absent is Rick Perry, who instead sent his communications director for an interview.

Bill White Democrap mayor of Houston which gave us that santuary city, or Kay Baily, Hell I’ll take Perry any day over them, I’d vote for Perry over Romney, but that’s it. The devil you no, right?

I like many people who I would not vote for, and who would not make a decent President.

Rick Perry is dumber than a sack of hammers, or Michelle Bachman. Take your pick.

It was painful. How sad that he turns to Ron Paul for help.

I’ve been saying for weeks that he’s the Great Non-Communicator.

Tonight, though, he looked better than he ever has.

And then the moment. I felt bad for him. I really did. I like the guy. I really do.

If it happened to anyone else, no big deal.

But with his previous communication problems, it’s going to add negativity atop negativity.

I don’t want to pile on the guy. I wish he hadn’t suffered that flub. I feel bad for him still.

Not a gaff, but absolutely truth telling.

Did it end the the old RINOs campaign?

What? There’s no bigger dolt than Perry which almost no one but the perryporn females will deny. The debate was decisive in only one aspect. Perry isn’t presidential material, not under any circumstances.
