Funny that there are none of the usual Perry SP@M threads being posted this morning. Seems that a bunch of new supporters suddenly jumped ship after he called them “heartless” last night.
If the story is 100% true, it’s still a problem in that it shows Perry making policy for the whole state based on the case of one distraught family.
Perry doesn’t think fast on his feet, stumbles a little and has trouble stringing coherent sentences together. Maybe the Texas accent gets in the way, but his debate skills are lacking. And it’s not just ‘Mr. Smith goes to Washington’. He sounds as if he’s just come around to some of his conservative positions. What’s this about his thinking (in the past), that Mexican/Texas healthcare might be worth exploring? I don’t trust him.
He wasn't even competent enough to take out romney with romneycare hanging around his neck. How terrible is that?!?
Perry was a bigger disappointment that I expected.

The local conservative radio guy was talking about this as well this a.m. It seems the issue is when Perry ‘met’ the woman in question. It is entirely possible that they were in communication (phone/e-mail) with each other before the legislation was signed, but didn’t actually meet in person until later.
So right now, I’m willing to give him the benefit of a doubt. I’ve got lot more reasons to not be for him than this. However, I think it’s interesting that if they were in contact with each other before meeting, that his people didn’t come out and say so.
Perry's "it wasn't a lie" defense is that he said nothing about the time order of events, only that he was "lobbied."
Its amazing that in all of America there isn’t 100? 1000? solid conservatives who could challenge Ibama???
he admitted to doing coke? So, past indiscretions shouldn’t be an obstacle. Admit to own and apologize for being younge and foolish.
My 13 year old niece could challenge Obama using nothing but his quotes and a handful of job numbers?
When a conservative runs he is taking on more than just the President ..he is taking on the entire weaselly pro-socialist press as well.
That needs to be part of the formula.
openly mock and attack the press every step of the way.
Yes, he met with her after the executive order ... but during the legislature’s debate on overturning the order from Perry.
Maybe if we can get some families of those murdered, robbed and raped by illegals, he’ll stop feeding that deadly invasion.
This vaccine thing is stupid and won’t hurt him any more. Michelle already cut her own throat with it. We need to hear what he is going to do to the whole Nation with free loading illegals if he is elected. We need to hear from them all - especially Newt, Cain and Romney.
