Yes, “don’t have a heart” was very politically tone-deaf.
Of course, some of that depends on which side of an issue you are on. If you were someome who supported Texas giving in-state tuition for their own children of illegals, then Romney saying you weren’t conservative was also a “personal attack”.
I do so detest the politics of faux outrage over being called something. Given that it is a daily feature here to call other freepers names when they disagree with you, it’s hard to see how anybody has such thin skin that they’d be “hurt” by it.
On the other hand, a Black man calling you a racist — that has real repercussions. Apparently, because I didn’t see the big deal about some stupid rock painted over with the word N*ggerhead showing faintly through, I’m “insensitive to blacks”, and I trouble Herman Cain, who I actually like as a good conservative, except when he is insulting me with charges of latent racism.
But I’ve noticed that poeple didn’t take that personally. I know I don’t, but I didn’t take “heartless” personally either. Like I said, faux outrage doesn’t interest me.
Only problem is he never said any such thing.
When you have to willfully distort what the other candidates say in a vain effort to prop up your candidate's campaign, you have lost the debate.
Glad you like Perry. That does not excuse knowingly lying about what Cain said.
Cain was asked a question, he answered it. Sorry the Perry supporters find the issue the question was asked about so embarrassing.

Curious then that you are actively promoting faux outrage in the very post you complain about it.
Clean up your own act.
Conservatives here do not accept Mitt Romney. Jim Robinson has said no one here can support Mitt Romney or else.
However some here are supporting the guy who supports Mitt Romney. He supported Romney in the last presidential election and has told you on more than one occasion he will support Romney in this election when his money runs out.
He only attacks Perry who most of you have on your list behind Cain and Bachmann.
Not sure how much longer you guys will allow yourself to be snookered.
If you give Cain your money, you will see him go out and support Romney after he spends your money attacking Perry.

The statement you make about Mr Cain below is not even remotely factual. If you bother to read what Mr Cain said, you would know this. So either you did not bother to get the facts OR you are knowingly lying.

So if you don't like being pointed out as a hypocrite, quit being one.
Your statements about Cain were completely fraudulent and you know it. Glad you have strong feelings for Perry. That does not justify lying about the other candidates.
