Rick Perry's real problem: He's not wearing well
CSMonitor ^ | October 4, 2011 | Peter Grier

Posted on 10/04/2011 9:44:41 AM PDT by South40

Once the front-runner in polls, Rick Perry has fallen precipitously and is now tied with Herman Cain at 14 percent in an ABC/Washington Post survey. Mitt Romney has regained the top spot in this poll.

For Texas Gov. Rick Perry these are not the best of times. In recent days he’s had to spend precious campaign time defending himself against charges that he leased a hunting camp with a racially offensive name. And Tuesday dawned with more bad news: A new ABC/Washington Post poll shows that his support is evaporating like a puddle in the west Texas sun.

Once the front-runner in polls, Governor Perry has fallen precipitously and is now tied with Herman Cain at 14 percent in the ABC poll. Mitt Romney has regained the top spot in this survey, with 21 percent of Republican-leaning respondents putting him as their first choice for presidential nominee.

He won the 2010 Gubernatorial race because everyone knew that Ted Kennedy’s girlfriend, Kay Bailey Hutchinson, was too liberal and because Medina imploded by believing in the 9/11 Conspiracy Theory. And, the Dem was a meat-head Liberal. What the hell else were we supposed to do?

Perry’s biggest enemies are his record and his mouth.

What passes as a conservative in Texas (Cornyn, Hutchison, Perry, etc.) doesn’t cut it in the rest of the bcountry. We learned (too late) from Bush43.

Maybe the GOP will finally get the message about what the base thinks of pandering to illegals.

Or maybe the base will catch on who the MSM is most afraid of...for all the right reasons...while they whine about being called "heartless."

I'm as disgusted with the "base" as I am with "the GOP." Who the heck do you think the "GOP" is, anyway? Unless you are a Ron Paul nutcase?

You are helping Romney...regardless of what you think!

Rick Perry’s real problem: He’s basically D-U-M-B!!!

If true, Perry is a real overachiever...and Texas isn't doing bad, either.

You do realize that this is just another feeble attempt of the MSM to slam Perry and appoint Mittens, don’t you?

The claim made by the left about all the republican candidates, is they are DUMB. George W. was called DUMB every time any real issue came up for decision making.

It is an attack the seems to work ... many believe it!!. Then is sorta becomes accepted fact. We play nice and do not do dirty tactics, all the while the other side does every dirty trick in their play book ... and the dumb uninformed public fall for it over and over.

Don't bother with threatening me with the lessor of two evils - its the primaries. I don't have to support Perry to oppose Mittens.

Save that tactic for the general election.

The primaries offer you the only opportunity to choose between Perry and Romney.

The miracle worker that pulled wet, stinking Perry out of the cesspool and propped him up is not going to do it this time; she is going to clobber his stinking corpse.
