I get what you’re saying. I probably wouldn’t put up with it, either.
However, my point is that I damn well want someone up there that will intimidate, bully or grab by the throat if necessary, to get folks’ attention and get this thing back on track.
I am sick and tired of “us” being the nice guys; the ones who always get along; the ones who put up with the PC crap, the ones who are “reaching across the aisle” only to draw back a stub.
I’m looking for someone that will be a mensch, a man, a leader...and if necessary, a bully...to get something different going.
Let me stress that I don’t think that’s the way it should be done in the workplace (generally). But we need something different, in a quantum leap way, from the way we’ve done things up to now.
If being tough, intimidating or even “bullying” will get it done, I’m for it.
Regards,
Chasaway
A real leader and someone that knows how to speak and get their message across does not need to resort to intimidation by pointing their finger into someones chest or holding their arm or wrist.
Again, I’ve known people who do that, and it’s clearly a weak strategy when attempting to dominate conversations, silence an opponent and or intimidate.
I noticed Perry's forced smile during much of the debate. I suggest he raise his voice, wipe the pasted on smile off his face, and talk like he means it. He did that regarding the capital punishment bit, but then went back to the Pollyanna pose during much of the debate.
Sometimes Ron Paul is right and sometimes he is wrong. It doesn’t matter. Its not about Ron Paul.
Physically bullying an old gentleman is punk behavior.
Any so called conservatives who would condone such behavior are low class punks. Fight the political battles like you mean it, but don’t bully old gentleman doctors.
If Perry’s so manly, perhaps he can take on Acorn. .. oh wait, there is a picture of him as governor smiling with Acorn. I guess maybe he only bullies old men etc..

Take a 30 second break from the apologetics and try to visualize Reagan in the campaign pulling something like this. According to your statements Reagan would not qualify as a mensch or a man in your book. I beg to differ.
Even if Ron Paul had called him a Satanist, he’s a crazy old man. If Perry doesn’t have the capacity to win the war of ideas and expose Paul for a fool, and has enough of a control issue to lay hands on a decrepit old man in a nationwide media venue, he’s not stable enough for the big leagues...not by a long shot.
My next question is whether his wife has ever had unexplained bruises. If he were an average joe, that’s what your next thought would be, too.
