Perry showed his true 'Rat underbelly last night.
"Heartless?" Beats aiding and abetting invaders.
Rick screwed the pooch with that one, and there is no way I will even attempt to defend it.
As I said above, he ultimately deserves the blame for his failure.
I'm just disappointed because we could have had a guy who was a true conservative with about 98% of his policies, and then we could have held his feet to the fire on immigration and a couple of other lesser issues. He had already demonstrated after the Gardasil debacle that he was willing to listen and change in response to conservative criticism of his proposals.
Instead, we are left with a guy who most of us will agree with very infrequently. Worse, his nomination will split the party, and will almost definitely assure an Obama second term.
I would love to believe there is a true blooded conservative white knight out there ready to ride in and save the day, but I have to admit I'm having trouble seeing him (or her) on the horizon.
I think Romney is the guy, and I couldn't be more disappointed about it.
