Perry isn’t so much clarifying his remarks as straightening out the MSM/Romney/Bachmann’s interpretation of his remarks. I never thought for one second that truthfully/factually calling SS “a ponzi scheme” or “lie” meant that he was going to destroy rather than fundamentally reform SS.

That MSM/Romney/Bachmann interpretation is pure spin to knock Perry as a (leading) GOP contender. And it’s disgraceful.

Actually, immediately, the following morning after the debate, the MSM started in on the SS issue regarding Perry.

That would be way before Bachmann said anything about it.

These people are competing. It is normal to see a weakness and move in with your own ideas. I will say the jury is out. I will wait and see what she, herself has to say. Now it is Bachmanns turn to clarify. Maybe that is why she took this tack. To get face time in a debate.

I don’t really care because I know that all of them on that stage would most likely reform SS. That is if they win enough seats in the Senate.

What I care about is immigration. Perry loses that one. I like my candidate to care more about American citizens, and what they want, over illegal lawbreakers.

I don’t think Bachmann could win the nomination. We will probably get someone who has already been promised because it is his turn.
