Oh, come on. Nearly every person in the Republican party was afraid to say anything critical about Obama for fear they would be called a racist. Rush was the first out of the box to take on Obama when Rush said he hopes Obama fails. He was targeted for destruction but they failed. The same thing for Sarah Palin. She fearlessly took on Obama on issue after issue. And again, the Obama machine tried to take her down. Where were all the Republicans and conservatives running to their sides? They weren’t around..... at all. People tend to forget how defeated they all were following the 2008 elections. Now that Obama has been weakened,(by Rush and Sarah and a few others)all of a sudden everyone has found their courage.
As for Perry tending to business as governor in those days, how is it he can now spare the time to gallivant around the country? I haven’t anything against Perry other than he is no different than the rest of the GOP establishment. They serve themselves first.
Come to a Perry thead. I’ll discuss it with you.
UPS you might want to stick to driving your brown truck. Your debating skills are less than stellar.
You wanted to know why Perry wasn’t taking on Zero while Rush and Sarah were?
It’s Rush Limbaugh’s job to take on Zero. He’s a political commentator.
After losing the election and quitting her job, Sarah Palin became a political commentator. It became her job to take on Zero.
Governors such as Perry, Jan Brewer and even our own Rick Scott are not in the business of sniping at Zero, it’s just not their job. Their jobs are to run their respective States.
So your argument of “where was Perry” is just plain silly. He’s in it now and he’s on the attack. Palin’s not in it now, is she?
Perry’s “gallivanting” around now, running for President just like Plain “gallivanted” around running for Vice President while she was governor. Sheesh!
And as you can see from my tag, I’m not even a Perry gal! I’m just a FReeper who’s been seriously disappointed by all the divisiveness around here. I’d hope that this smart bunch could debate the pros and cons of all our our primary candidates (and apparently several non-candidates) without sounding like a bunch of DUmmies!
