Rick Perry gave a superb speech to NH Cornerstone, a New Hampshire conservative group. The full speech is here and well worth the time to watch (about 25 minutes). In fact, this partisan New Hampshire reporter considers the speech close to perfect for the audience.
How did the left-leaning media react? As could perhaps be anticipated, with ridicule and mockery. For example, in a harsh piece by Brian Browdie of the NY Daily News titled "Rick Perry's unusually expressive 2012 speech in New Hampshire sparks rumors he was drunk," ...
..Why did the media react this way? Maybe because Perry is a conservative, and the media are liberal. Maybe for Perry's exhibiting "unquestionably unpresidential behavior," as David Badash of the New Civil Rights Movement put it. What is the current definition of presidential behavior during a speaking engagement? The loud, monotonous rant we are witnessing so often of late? The disingenuous or worse content of those rants?
Perry opened his remarks with the World Series. He said that he had arrived in New Hampshire Thursday evening with the Rangers leading 7-4. He gave an exuberant shout, with much arm-waving ("gesticulating wildly"). Texas was finally going to be a world champion after fifty years. Then, in a much more subdued voice, Perry said that it was now Friday, and they were still playing. This is where the edited version dropped out. In the actual speech, Perry went on to say that Chris Carpenter was pitching, and he is from New Hampshire, implying that Texas had no chance. Self-deprecating humor, timing that Jack Benny would envy, and audience involvement. The crowd went wild -- cheers and applause. He had them.....

Did you see Drudge Report?
I also watched the debate in Michigan.
Have you watched Perry's New Hampshire speech linked above that got so much negative media attention -- including at Drudge?
It's also common knowledge that Drudge is fast friends with Romney's campaign manager.
Hi guys!
See you don’t miss a beat.
LOL
Yes, I saw it over a week ago when it was news worthy.
I thought it was a good speech.
Nobody combs their hair on the right side.
NOBODY.
If that’s all I’m left when push-comes-to-shove, then I’ll shove it down your throagh.
ONE thing certain is that there are people allowed to talk, and people who get shreddd (feet first - so they can hear ther own screams before they die) because they disagree...
Hey, I wouldn't mind having one of those! Sounds like a Good Ride! ;-)
Won't vote for Perry though. As it is now for me it's Cain or I don't vote in the presidential election.
In the long run people want substance.
I've commented before your candidate has a finite number of chances to get his act together after his initial stumbles. If anything, he's gotten worse.
While everyone here is still busy celebrating Perry’s fundamental debate error, they seem unconcerned that they are helping take down the only truly experienced government executive with decades of Military tactical experience as well as ability.
Pay no attention to the fact that the radiacalradicalradicallyradicalsradialzodiacalradiallyredial Muslim World is on the verge of producing a Nuclear Weapon along with a delivery system. While you are at it, completely forget that Oil prices are on the verge of hitting $200 again, and Iran will surely take control of the supply.
What is most important is, that we pick a Pizza Salesman and Radio Talk Show host, without a shred of Governmental experience, Military history or understanding of tactical engagement. It is especially vital that this individual have no ability or experience in handling Foreign Relations or a clear understanding of the International World.
But have no fear, by directing all of our efforts into emotional causes for candidates and going completely on faith that those candidates will do what we hope they will, will certainly make up for any lack of experience or knowledge they have. Because after all, It’s all about who can talk the best and the most, and the show of support is based on feelings and emotional involvement. Nothing else seems to matter any more.
The entire speech link is up there in the OpEd.
Go somewhere else to spread lies.
How had Howard Dean governed a state? What kind of executive was he? You’ve never supported Perry, so why are you even on this thread?
