Perry's gaff tonight and "I'm Running For Office, For Pete's Sake, I Can't Have Illegals"
Youtube ^ | November 9, 2011

Posted on 11/09/2011 9:45:10 PM PST by Luther1917

Rick Perry is once again getting alot of attention tonight. I knew the minute he couldn't remember the third agency, that the media would rake him over the coals for it. I thought before the memory lapse he had been pretty good. To me not remembering something is not that big of a deal. He's human and everyone has times like that when they have a lapse in memory. It's bad that he played right into the stereotype of an idiot that the media likes to call him. Point I am trying to make is the man is human and a hell of a lot more like most Americans than the robot Romney.

If this is going to end Perry's run, when will someone call out Willard McRomney for telling the truth as to why he couldn't have illegals working for him. He said it in front of millions of people but of course the Romney obsessed Fox News network gave him a pass.

So here it is again.

The ruling class never calls out Mitt for his many errant statements, nor his changing positions or his terrible positions on global warming, the Ohio bill or any other terrible liberal views. At least not until he has the nomination sewn up.

Romney is the only non starter for me.

Perry’s bigger mistake is he did not seal his poor grades in school like the teleprompter in chief has done.

Not really a Perry fan but I can see how he could forget one of the Departments he was trying to name.....hell there are so many Departments and czars I couldn’t name half of them myself. I think Perry would have been better off just saying he would do away with all Departments and Czars period.

How do you forget what you believe in?

The answer is, you don’t. He doesn’t believe what he was trying to say.

Even if he couldn’t remember the name, he should have remembered the concept, and described the agency from there.

So, I want to know if they are ever going to let GOP candidate Buddy Roemer have a chance to debate, most of the others are sinking like anchors.

What’s sad is that this is the only part of the debate I’ve seen tonight.

I’m proud the other guys tried to help him out.

The moderator zoned in like a shark smelling blood in a kiddy pool. It was pure evil.

And if it were OBAMA on the other side, with Nominee Perry going in for the kill.....and WHIFFING? You are ok with that? No f-ing way. Politics ‘aint beanbag. I feel bad for the guy, a fine Christian man. But we need someone to shred the Pretender. Perry CANNOT do it. Period.

Cain’s 9-9-9 solution to every question is getting annoying and makes him look shallow as if he is stuck on that concept.

I never use the word “idiot” (for personal convictions) but I will say that he has stereotyped himself as D-U-M-B. As a Texan, I’ve been embarrassed by “my Governor” every debate. He started out good tonight, but, just didn’t have the skills to finish the race without crashing.

For any real conservative it would be hard to name 3 agencies we don't want to cut or abolish

Perry's stumble makes for a prefect commercial.

Its' 6 am a phone rings in President Perry's bedroom. He wakes up and answers it's the situation room:
"Mr. President we have detected and confirmed that we have missile inbound towards the United States. What are your orders?"
"Mr. President what are you orders Sir?"
"Mr. President do you understand Sir we are tracking inbound missiles?"
"Mr. President? Mr. President Sir......"

Perry is not my first choice for the nomination...

I wanted Palin, Cain, Newt or Bachman...in that order.

That said, I once forgot my phone number at a government office...and had to look it up in the directory before I could tell them what it was....a total brain freeze. :-)

I actually felt sorry for Perry tonight...but he is not the right candidate. Would I want him instead of Zero or Romney? HELL YES!

"Romney is the only non starter for me."

I have to have two on my "no" list- Romney and Paul.

It does look like he's stuck there. And If I hear about Bachmann's 28 kids again, I'm liable to shoot the tv.
