Texas Gov. and GOP presidential contender Rick Perry released a new campaign video Wednesday, blasting President Obama for a lack of leadership in creating jobs and pointing to Perry as the leader who could turn the economy around.

Fixed it.
“I want someone who can win and will kick this SOB out of the White House.”
Please apologize for your terrible disrespect to dogs, some of God’s most wonderful ceatures. Calling that evil anti-American, communist, secret Mudslime piece of subhuman excrement a SOB maligns all dogs, since the mother of each dog is a bitch.
Bold leadership IS NOT name calling. Bold leadership is telling the country what the issues are and laying out a plan to address those issues. Calling people names is juvenile at best. If you're looking for someone who can lead the Kindergarten playground, stick with someone who uses name calling as a political tactic. I'm looking for someone with Reagan's ability to communicate without pointing fingers or calling people names.
I could have done that, but then that would have been a duplicate thread.
Nope wasn’t talking about a duplicate thread but rather just placing a link in the body of the thread you posted or in the comment section of your thread.
Example of the same topic here with the video link posted within the thread which eliminates the additional click through.

Finally—gloves off!
>>> Why do you insist on being stupid? >>>
ok glove off. First, you are the stupid one not to catch the little sarcastic jab about Huntsman or Graham. WHOOSH right over your head.
Second, stupid is judging by a headline and not actually watching the ad where someone NOT stupid could see that Perry never name called. That negates every stupid word you wrote about the problems with name calling. Didnt’ happen.
Third, stupid is taking history out of context and using a little surface example that no longer applies.
So, why do YOU insist on being so stupid.

Name calling is not good for any presidential candidate
would rather he said WHY he was a zero and left it at that
Image-wise to turn the “O” into a zero every time you see it, works and robs them of that essential symbolism tool they used so far and wide. A different meaning is being transposed upon the image, thus neutralizing it or more.
I think the ad is pretty darn awesome, one of the better political ads that I’ve seen.
I don’t think it was offensive... *shrug*

I agree with you. Name calling is what happens in debates when you don't have a leg to stand on. If the facts are on your side, pound the facts, otherwise, pound the table.
Great ad!!!
I'll assume you didn't actually watch the video because that is exactly what the video did.
The "Zero" is about economic growth numbers widely reported, and the video used clips of various cable show pundits using the term to describe the economy.
Charles Krauthammer called him "President Zero" on FoxNews when they discussed the zero net new jobs August data.
Next, Perry needs to come out with a video and title it, "Willard the Myth!". Objective #1!... win the nomination.
That’s a powerful video. Made me sick to my stomach for some reason.
It's an early primary ad and yet some are finger wagging it'll scare independents and the mushy middle!
I've got some news for them: this economy is scary.
We even saw someone find a way to inject a non-candidate's name into this thread.
The primaries do not exist in a vaccum. This type of rhetoric will hurt more than help in the general election.
