Even the MSM is tired of that old “gaffe” line — it’s obvious to the viewers that the other candidates haven’t gotten that treatment. But if it makes you happy, continue with it — but be advised, using dated, media talking points leaves you appearing non-creative, unable to find another stick.
Much as Perry’s slick media-machine would like us all to swallow that line, we’re not referring to a one-off ‘gaffe’, now, are we? We’re all human, and anyone could and would be forgiven for that. We’re talking about a permanent inability to articulate and ‘think on your feet’, to a level that make Bush, and even Obama, look like skilled debaters.
Beyond that, I have far more fundamental issues with Perry. I’m simply looking for a conservative candidate who
(a) actually believes what he claims to believe, and sticks to it, even when it may not be politically expedient to do so
(b) can beat Obama
Romney fails on (a), and Paul on (b). Perry (a man who served 6 years as a Democrat in the Texas House of Representatives, worked on Al Gore’s campaign, and then switched sides out of personal political convenience) fails on both.
