Perry just lost 98% of the senior vote.

Not sure why he is insisting on keeping this going as an issue.

Assuming he wins the nomination, that is all the RATs will hammer him on. Although I agree 100% with his point, I don't see how it is anything but a negative politically.

Dick Morris/Rove are just prostitutes for Romney. And Dick Morris knows a thing about prostitutes.

Perry answers moderator on Social Security:

“I know it’s a joke, you know it’s a joke, anybody under 35 knows it’s a joke.”

“In your face, Dork!”

Reagan was best President of the US in modern memory.

I still remember people in California lining the roads to the Reagan ranch with their cars, waving ‘bye’ to Ronald Reagan as the funeral drove there. That said something.

Morris just tweeted:

“Perry just hurt himself badly His SS answer could cost him the election”

“We are watching the suicide of a candidate”

I agree about SS, but he’s not going to win any votes with that stance.

Perry will win younger voters with his stand. Talk to any 20 year old, and you will hear their anger over their having to pay for it when it won't even be around for them.

And these younger voters do vote more than they used to, and they are more conservative these days too.

Perry will WIN votes over his SS stand.

If he should be the nominee, he won't hear the end of it until election day. The whole country won't hear the end of it. Not wise to talk so about SS and it will cost something in the general election.

I have not seen an article questioning it’s authenticity, I have seen Perry campaign statements saying it fell short of endorsing Hillarycare.

Now Paul going after the Gardisil vaccination.

Oddly, Paul attacked the legislature for writing a “bad legislation” in response.

Of course, Bachmann also says we shouldn’t impose on parents vaccinations; but Perry’s order gave the Parents the choice, so her complaints are meaningless.

Of course, we impose a lot of innoculations on kids a lot earlier than 12 years old. By saying we can’t force vaccines on kids (which is true), what are we talking about?

Perry not backing down, he’s explaining himself. The Gardisil thing isn’t one of Perry’s good things, but he’s willing to say he made a mistake.

Morris needs to get his binky and calm down. Perry will navigate through this.

I wish Demint was running. Palin/Rubio might win.

The media are pitting Romney and Perry against each other. That means both of them would be acceptable to them. Two John McCains...

No it doesn't. The media likes fights - always has.

Well, just think about what could have been. A few minutes from now we all could have been listening to a Obama speech. Sooo, maybe we should all pause for a minute of silence and give thanks for that. . . . . .Amen.
