To me, some of the answers given seemed to project individuals asperations to be vice presidents as they know their day in the mainstream candidate’s field is closing.
CNN’s mission last night was to take out Perry on three fronts, social security, illegal aliens and that stupid vaccine idea. On the first they did not succeed as well as they did on the next two. Romney is their candidate and they used the Tea Parties to take out Perry. That is how I saw it.
Perry was his own worst enemy. He was for strong border protection before he was against it, only he’s for it now, but not anything physical like a fence, but illegals should be allowed to get in-state tuition, but he’s really strong on the border issue...come on.
And the Gardisil thing...he did that to himself 100%. Santorum was right—why wasn’t there an “opt-in”? Why was this such a tremendous emergency that he didn’t wait for the state legislature? Was Gardisil illegal in TX before Perry’s order? Were girls 12-13 years of age dropping dead left and right until he sprang into action? That mentality along with Romney and his Obamacare-Lite plan really do prove Bachmann’s point that neither are going to be serious about taking out Obamacare. They want to control you as much as any other leftist.
I was impressed by Perry in the last debate. This one...I don’t know. He’s all over the map on some VERY important issues.
Please tell me why the Republicans are bent on doing this to themselves?
