Perry did answer smoothly, but he didn’t answer the questions. And why did he continually address his answers to Romney?
I think he's trying to copy what Romney is doing--ACT like you're the frontrunner, and that convinces people you are. So Perry is acting like it's just between him and Romney, the rest of them are just distractions.
Just a theory.
Because Mitt is the anti-conservative target. Gov. Perry answered questions and he added points he knew he probably wouldn't have the opportunity to address -- as it was the Mitt Romney Show.
Perry hardly inspires voter confidence-——he careens back and forth, creating disaster after disaster. In Texas, his record is one of sheer horror:
<><> this “conservative” signed the gay-friendly ‘hate crimes’ bill that GWB had vetoed (nearly costing him the presidency).
<><> blithely using govt power to take 500,000 acres of private land from trusting Texans for his Tran-Texas Corridor insider deal,
<><> his Gardasil EO fiasco which generated bigtime campaign donations from Merck,
<><> raining tax dollars on illegals, including the infamous in-state tuition,
<><> sucking up to Mexico, allowing the Mexican pledge of allegiance and singing the Mexican ntl anthm in Texas schools,
<><> sucking up to Islam; Sharia law is part of the Texas justice system and at least one triumphal mosque has been built there.
Perry is relentlessly STUPID and is trying to force his stupidity on the US. Perry’s contempt for voters and for US ntl interests is appalling-—he recently announced his INSANE plan to LEGALIZE all Illegals on US soil-—which will trigger another wave of govt-dependents to our shores.
Probably trying to figure out why so many "conservatives" spend so much time saying they don't want Ronmeny, but use all their energy to trash the rest of the field....
He still thinks it's the first debate and Romney is the guy to beat. Sad.
Good for him! Screw the moderators...especially that smug, arrogant Doogie Howser wannabe, Scott Pelley! Perry should continue doing exactly what he did last night. Use these debates as opportunities to tell the voters what you want them to hear. In case you haven't noticed the moderators of these 'debates' aren't exactly friendly to our conservative candidates!
“And why did he continually address his answers to Romney?”
Maybe he’s trying to “face his demon(s) head-on”. LOL
