I’m just glad folks are waking up to the reality that Captain Gardasil’s Presidential Timber is full of termites.
It’s making me sick. He’s making Romney look 10 feet tall.
I loved him in Waiting for Guffman discussing the only time he and his wife who were travel agents had ever left the state of Missouri.
He is a huge disappointment. Even Dumbo Obama would steal his lunch.
Fernwood 2Night was great.
To us Texans, Ricardo Perry has ALWAYS been this guy.
I don’t trust either Ricardo or Willard.
Has to be someone else out there. I’ll look the field over for alternatives, and hope others jump in. I can’t vote for these two guys.
Vetting.
ROFL!
I try to keep away from personal ribbing of those candidates who are not my choice, but this is so completely right on.
I was watching him last night on the debate, and thought Perry reminded me of someone, but I couldn’t place it.
Fred Willard. That’s who it was! Thanks for posting.
This was Perry’s attack on Romney’s flips flops:
‘You were after this before obamacare you were before this after that before race to the top after that... LOL!
My wife says to me, “Why exactly are you supporting this guy (until Palin gets in), again?”
The big winner (without question) was Palin. She played it smart. Let Perry become the great white horse. And then fall in a pile of sh!t.
Can you imagine her bumbling and fumbling like Perry? I don’t think so. She would articulate a clear concise conservative message.
And this is someone who supported Perry (look it up). Right up until last night. But this guy makes Bush look articulate. He’s an embarrassment.
And now we see 2 things here.
1. THIS is the reason there’s been so many of these debates. To flood people with so much that they can’t stand ANY of the people running.
2. To get these people to stumble, than blare it out to everyone at maximum volume.
Perry is the “conservative” placeholder until Palin gets in.
Rick Perry, I like you. But a little word of advise. You are not going to get very far by calling your audience heartless.That word is exclusively owned by Democrat campaigners. They could sue you for plagarism.
Perry-bots........are hurting today after smirky-boys performance and his true love of illegals was revealed.
In this media age, debating skills have come to mean more than actual ideas or leadership skills.
Perry’s positives are considerable (much more than some of his...err, detractors...on FR are willing to admit), and his negatives, while serious, are not sufficient to rule him out in my book.
His biggest problem at the moment is that he definitely stinks at debating, and this may end up sinking him. The average voter is very shallow and emotion-driven when it comes to evaluating political candidates.
All things considered I do like Perry, but I really mean what I put in my tagline. If Palin jumps in and is ahead in the delegate count when the Tx primary comes along, she’s got my vote.
As for the debate last night... uggggh. Ptooey.
I think Perry revealed himself, and not in a good way. My view of him from the beginning has been a little jaundiced: there's just something phony about him; his words are never quite in synch with his expressions, and his policy positions are announced, alternately, with odd emphasis or with mealy-mouth words. In either case, he doesn't come off as genuine.
Romney didn't improve his standing much in my view either, because I've never viewed him as genuine or truly conservative, and in that respect, he did not disappoint.
Herman Cain is great - love him. The man has ideas, a real heart and a passion for ideas. But I don't know if someone so inexperienced at politics can stand up to the Wall of Bullshit that is Obama.
Newt Gingrich is brilliant as always, a million ideas heading in a million directions - which is why he is not suited for the Presidency; the job requires focus, decisiveness, prioritization, and... a lot less personal baggage to get there in the first place.
Gary Johnson had the best line of the night (re: Obama's "shovel-ready jobs"). I think he stole it from Rush Limbaugh, but it was timely.
Perry’s advisors are not ready for the big show and Perry doesn’t seem to be either.
Last night was an opportunity for Perry to demonstrate why he was the best choice for the nomination and explain how he would put the country back on the road to prosperity.
Instead he wasted his time trying to knock Romney’s legs out from under him.
He missed an opportunity to put pettiness aside and rise above the pack. To some degree he let himself be baited by questions from the moderators designed to keep him and Romney bickering.
Please Sarah! Announce already and spare us this nightmare of lightweights who are only going to ensure we nominate Romney.
A lot of Freepers who support Perry have been dismissing those of us in Texas who actually have watched him be our governor for the last 11 years. I wish I could say he was the real deal but he is not. He is close enough in many areas to get your hopes up, but under the hood is a very slick Bill Clinton like politician who consistently does things that are the opposite of the ideology he claims to promote. I view him as just another of the hand picked sock puppets that are international globalists who have been selected by either of the parties to be president since the 90’s. American is being destroyed by these guys because it cost a fortune to put them in place and those who put them there do not have America’s best interest as a priority. Business as usual will continue until the public quits being enamored by politicians appearances and starts making decisions based on actions and results (sigh, wishful thinking).
