They ALL have self-inflicted damage.
Depends upon the caliber. .22? Or both barrels from a shotgun?
Perry hit his foot dead-on with some heavy-duty artillery. Y'all can attack me for saying such. But the polls back up my assertion, and I doubt the drastic drop-off in Perry's polling numbers is from people reading Perry critics' posts on FR, but is instead from reading or hearing Perry's own words and drawing their own conclusions. You would be better off trying to get Perry to realize the damage he has caused to himself, and then coming up with ways to correct such, instead of ripping into those pointing out what is causing his drop in the polls.
