A serious candidate wouldn’t call his base heartless for wanting to defend American soil from invading criminals.
So, Perry, in a "30 Second Sound Bite Contest" inarticulately defended a complicated Texas position that 98% of the entire Legislature of the very conservative State of Texas supported.
Your tender little feelings and your Inner Child were SO traumatized that you destroyed Perry and propelled Mitt Romney to the top of the GOP race while you wait and wait and wait for Sarah.
Mitt Romney played you like a fiddle.
