So if we haven’t made up our mind we are braindead? I like to study candidates during the early stages and see how they are under fire, and find out more about how they really sit on the issues. That makes me braindead?

I do know and care how bad Obama is. I supported RINO McCain who also insulted me on the border issues- trotted right down and voted for him anyway because I was not so braindead as to want Obama.

If we are not allowed to ask questions, voice our concerns on all issues at this stage then when is it ok? I guess you are telling me to just shut up and vote for the candidate you support, that really would make me braindead.

Maybe just maybe Perry should not insult people he needs votes from. At some point the candidate is responsible for actions that cause voters to question him as a candidate. Some candidates can deal with those that don’t totally support them in a way that still gets their support and votes. To me that is real leadership, very important to being President.

No, you misunderstand. I’m not talking about the primaries. I’m talking about the general election. The primaries are the time to decide which Republican candidate you want to support.

By the time the “main” debates roll around, if you aren’t decided, then yes, you are braindead. The problem is that Perry appears to be a horrible debater and those undecided voters are exactly the type that can be swayed by a debate performance.

Does that make sense?
