On the money.
While I detest what Romney is doing, as I said above, he is actually doing us a favor. If the American people still aren't ready for a grown up discussion about this, it is better to find out now in the primary.
On the other hand, if they are and they go ahead and nominate Perry in spite of the Elder Scare campaign, it will make it that much tougher for Obambi to pull it off in the general.
I agree with you. For months we’ve been inundated with polls stating even Tea Parties don’t want entitlements touched and yet they elect people like Johnson and Rubio who run on it so...which is it?
I think Romney is slime and anyone so desperate to be President they would do this should not be President. However, since Perry would face this from Democrats I think it could be good for him to use this as an opportunity to study how to present it best in a national election.
And if even Republican voters fall for this, well, all these grand ideas of fixing this nation’s problems may have to be re-evaluated. So I’m waiting for the new series of polls to have an idea of their intial reaction and then the next couple of weeks as Perry responds and by October we should have a decent idea of where we sit.
