However he blew it in the debates, its that simple. He likely was still on drugs from his back surgery and its not fair, he is smarter than that. What?! That's the first i've heard of back surgery. You mean to tell me that his handlers let him get on live TV while taking hydrocodone, or whatever synthetic morphine he was probably taking? (depends on how invasive the surgery was, which i'm about to look up).
Unbelievable. One of the main side effects can be short-term memory loss. I tried to speak in public while taking Vicodin; it wasn't pretty. I wasn't loopy or 'high,' nothing like that. I just couldn't find the words i needed. It feels like that "on-the-tip-of-my-tongue" thing that everyone experiences sometimes, but it lasted for two grueling hours. Never again. I'll live with the pain, thank you.
And it wasn't exactly like i could publicly defend myself, either. "Ummm... please forgive me today. Uh, see.. I took some Vicodin for my back pain, so i'm chemically-impaired on a controlled substance while speaking today."
Idiots. If this is true, i hope they got fired.

Yep, I saw that and think it’s part of the guide. Just didn’t know if you’d seen the whole guide.
They weren’t pulling for Perry, eh?

There is actually a lot good about Perry. Its just that the position he takes vis-à-vis Muslims is absolutely, irrevocably a danger I wont allow in anyone I support. I will take that one position and actively oppose anyone running for office that shows anything but opposition to Muslims in this country. The underlying weak position on so many things for someone to support Muslims reduces their stated positions on many other things.

Nothing run in looking for Elvis, I guess. Odds of elvis and mj, having a concert this year are probably greater.

Oh the whole FOX crew has been given the word. It’s Romney non-stop. That’s why I no longer watch FOX.

Kinda piling on there, arent ya? 15 yard penalty for you!
Just tired of people making medical excuses for Perry, when Perry lost a lot of people with his "heartless" comment, which was well before his "oops" moment. The heartless comment has nothing to do with any drugs he was taking, because he has supported that legislation for 10 years.
I take the man at his word on this matter, and I believe he feels those folks don't have a heart, because he has that 10 year track record of supporting it.
If people want to blame drugs or back pain for Perry's problems, then they are basically making the case that Perry shouldn't be running. I don't agree with that, while I may disagree with a lot of things he's done, I've seen him in person and I believe he is physically capable of running.
To: South40
Dead armadillo bounce is more like it.
Lets address the elephant in the room, shall we? Outside the gaffes, mandates and illegal love, the real reason he has not gained support is simple:
People don’t want Bush 2.0 and that’s exactly how Perry will be portrayed by the MSM- and it will work.
The country still has Bush fatigue.
Perry never had a chance, and sadly, so many here were relying on a Palin endorsement that never (or will never) come.

Perry has had how many comebacks now and to what end? He is still polling in single digits and had an embarrassing 5th place finish in Iowa. Buy a clue, Ricardo.

I no longer watch Fox News either, or Fox for that matter after they started promoting homosexuality to our children. Fox News pushes far too much celebrity sleaze as filth, and they are too far in the bag for Romney. Might as well give Romney's campaign manager a show.
To: af_vet_rr; South40
That must be the latest ‘blame’ talking point from the Perry camp. It has been repeated heavily in the past two days.

I pray that changes RIGHT after SC and Florida results come in for Newt or Rick S. They all live in the DC bubble. It won't change. We'll just have to ignore it and work at the grass roots level to overcome it and educate the masses. Fox is the worst one because they have such a big group of conservative voters who may listen to their Romney-fest and take it as gospel.
"Well, if Fox News said we should go with Romney, then it must be true!"
We have our work cut out for us.

I recall a while back posting a critique in a thread that was touting Perry’s 5th or 6th ‘comeback’ and he’s done nothing but go downhill since. Seriously, that was months ago. He has to be on comeback #10 by now. If the first 9 failed, what chance does #10 have?
