I dont have anything personal against Perry.
I DO have a real issue with a candidate that almost immediately bombed out of the gate, had to then partially disappear from the race to “retool” himself to yet continue to bomb. Then to hear boasting from his supporters about his big comeback only to finish poorly in Iowa, where he then vanish from the race for 24 hours (Most of his staff thought he was out) to then announce that he ins’t out but will now stay in!
How can anyone confidently believe that he will be anything but an unstable candidate? Some people running start badly and get better, some start great and end poorly.
Perry, and supporters just keep thinking that we need to keep paying attention to him for no other reason other than “his message” no matter how poorly delivered and clumsily the rest of his candidacy is.
If his supporters are alienated by people pointing this out, imagine how they will feel when Obama/MSM gets at him.
Your post doesn’t make any sense. Ooops, sorry.
How can you imply that Perry would make an unstable candidate when his entire life and political history has been stable and consistent?
And when you are left with two candidates who are just weird in so many ways.
Oh, don’t get me wrong, I will support Newt if it comes to that and Santorum if I have to, but Perry is the one with the right ideas, the right record.
I think Perry felt he’d given his all in Iowa and did have to stop and think about his path.
If you think there’s something wrong with that, okay, but I don’t.
He decided that quitting after one caucus was not fair to him or his supporters and decided to continue.
He never announced he was out.
Obviously the loyalty of Perry’s supporters annoys you, but it’s what we feel.
Who is your candidate?
“If his supporters are alienated by people pointing this out”
I’m not alienated at all. I think it’s constructive criticism. I bet he thinks that too. I think anything that helps him become an even stronger candidate will help our country as a whole. No candidate in the race compares to him in leadership. He will master the debate issue in time for Obama and Obama will not know what it him. Perry’s message is powerful but I’m suspicious that Herman Cain is taking his boisterous medicine show on the road again for the same reason he declared in the first place. We’ll learn soon enough if his efforts are all about stopping President Obama or all about stopping Governor Perry. It took only two weeks in his initial candidacy for him to speak the words that he would serve as VP for any of the candidates except Rick Perry. We’ll see. His fellow talk show hosts, except Rush, seldom mention Perry.
