Longbow,
You need to see how Perry shut down the CNN interviewer when he tried to ask Perry a birther question. Perry took him D-O-W-N, and he did it with quick precision too! LOL
There is a 1 minute segment of Perry’s Q & A session from this afternoon, a couple hours after his speech. Check it out. I think I could almost see fangs coming out of Perry’s mouth! :-) He just wasn’t going to put up with it, not one bit.

Thanks for the link. Yeah, that was good. Now he needs to do that ALL of the time. There is no benefit to entertaining this birther stuff. Getting in to silly conspiracy theories is campaign poison. Going forward, Perry shouldn’t even say “If someone wants to see my birth certificate, that’s fine” like he did in that clip. Any birther questions need to be responded to with a one line, close ended response - a simple “I am not getting into that birth certificate stuff” will do. In a general election, no candidate that gets off into fringe conspiracies is going to win.
