But to come out and say "people that oppose illegal immigration are heartless" was a deal killer for many. That's a tactic of the left: throw out an emotional appeal designed to (1) make anyone that disagrees with you seem immoral, and (2) shut down any further debate.
They only thing that will accomplish with conservatives is make them turn to someone else.
Had Perry come out with a list of reasons for his immigration stances that were at least debatable, he might have worked through it.
You have hit the nail square on the head.
Perry’s problem isn’t just the immigration issue but most all of his answers are a struggle to make them coherent to the listener.
I’m surprised the campaign and Perry haven’t taken the time to develop a one minute response to several topics [six to eight], then commit them to memory and practice, practice, practice until he gets it down. Perry needs to learn not to take the bait questions but give positive answers to what he’s down and would do to sovle the issue.
If he doesn’t do that then by the end of the next two debates, Oct. 11 & 18, he’ll be out of the race. He’s got an opportunity to revive his campaign, the balls in his court to see what he’s made of. It’s either all bumble and stumble or thoughtful direction on what he’d do.
What about my crowd...”Honkies for Herman” or “Crackers for Cain”? Good man!
Exactly. It was a deal killer for me.
What a gem!! I thank you.
