Those are two seperate issues. Some can agree to disagree over an issue and still support a candidate. The candidate calling people names and then expecting their vote is pretty cheeky. What to do with illegals and their children is a tough issue. Perry should have stuck to the topic and what he did or will do and why, he should not have started calling people names that he hopes will vote for him.
I agree. Governor Perry used a poor choice of words. I give a low grade for Governor Perry in the debate for not being able to deliver on the issues in a convincing manner. There was so much opportunity to hit the ball out of the park. By failing to say what he means by not having a heart, he illustrated his huge deficiency that will severely hurt him later on. It was this criticism towards fellow conservatives that turned off the audience and was a serious mistake. He cannot make those mistakes. For instance, he would have been better if he told what it means to have a heart. That would have opened up an opportunity to tell who he is. It told us how low on the learning curve he is in the debate format and how susceptible he is in gotcha moments. He needs to work hard to overcome his deficiency. We will need a first class performance when he comes against Zer0 and the State Owned Media.
I hope he gets it together because in his heart, he is a come-to-Jesus conservative. By that I mean Perry has changed from a liberal Democrat to a conservative Republican. That is the best kind of conservative we can get. He knows the enemy intimately. He knows how they work and how to defeat them. I know his heart is in the right place, but his mind has not picked up the language yet. He is still speaking in tongues. However, God willing, he will have a come-to Jesus moment towards generating excitement in everything he says.
