I have seen your countless posts about Perry which amount to nothing but fanatical support of an atrociously poor candidate for President of The Untied States of America.
While I, have posted just last evening that with Newt Conservatives need to keep a constant pressure on him.
This “unpredictability” opinion needs to be backed up by you because the item you posted here fails to do so. The Lib spotlights the dated statement from Gingrich about illegals and takes half the item to briefly allude in a single sentence what Gingrich has said out it since then.
The only thing predictable here is you turning to the next front-runner because your guy sucks real bad as a candidate.

I am now no longer either.
Perry has shown an inability to communicate which makes him completely unelectable and Cincinatus' Wife has slipped, in my opinion, from a valiant fighter for a cause to a tired old repetitive hack.
Perry's support in many polls is now below the margin of error of those polls. I know the same was true for Gingrich back in the spring of this year, but that was the beginning of the campaign and that was before Perry's huge bump in the polls upon his initial entry into the campaign.
It's one thing to be a 1%er in April... quite another to be a 1% in December, after you've been has high as 30%.
Anyone who can't see the reasons and the significance and the meaning and the likely outcome of Perry's fall from 30% to 1% is either a paid operative or just plain stupid.
For starters see John Kerry and Newt Gingrich's "debate" LINKED in Post # 25. It is typical Newt, seeing and praising the other side of the issue.
Then Andy Ferguson's take on Newt:
Re-written and highlighted here: Gingrich the Phony Intellectual …………Finally, there is Gingrich the disorganized. “Gingrich’s vagueness was always a problem, but the books show something more: a near-total lack of interest in the political implementation of his grand ideas — a lack of interest, finally, in politics at its most mundane and consequential level. Gingrich’s inattention to detail is one reason his speakership was so chaotic, as readers of a certain age will recall, and the primary reason he was shunned by his own party after four years with the gavel.”
When many in the mainstream media and far too many conservatives who should know better swoon over his pronouncements, the cannier on the right and left justifiably roll their eyes in disgust. Gingrich’s mind is an attic of throwaway, unusable and downright goofy ideas, piled high like newspapers in the room of a troubled subject on “Hoarders.” The volume is great, the quality is shoddy. His hobbyhorse is technology, or rather gimmickry. (“The coming rush of high technology will dismantle the welfare state and provide a replacement that is humane and efficient; it will free the poor from government dependency, take apart a failing educational establishment, relieve the drudgery of industrial labor and provide a steady supply of pleasant jobs, defrock out-of-touch elites in every corner of the ruthlessly secular society, clean up the environment and bequeath to us an America that is ‘safe, healthy, prosperous and free,’ as he wrote in ‘Winning the Future’ and, with slight variation, in most of his other books too.”)
But, ironically, what he never masters is politics. His collapse as speaker is more understandable once you grasp the full extent of his egomania and grandiose visions (“Muddling through — which is the default option of our constitutional system and the one that most Americans, latently conservative as they are, seem to prefer — never surfaces in the swirling mists of his crystal ball.”) Daydreamers and narcissists can make (in small doses) amusing writers and entertaining cocktail party guests, but lousy political leaders. And as president? Shudder.”
