I may be heartless in Rick Perry's eyes, he's GUT-LESS in mine until he mans up and apologizes the way he should.

You would not accept his apology anyway, under any circumstance. So why continue to say you want more from him?

That is an old leftist/lib trick -- to keep the issue going. How many apologies did George Allen make for his ONE 'macaca' comment? At least 3 or 4. And those who would not accept #1 would not accept #2 or #3 or #4 either.

Perry made his apology. Accept it. Or not. Your choice. But don't belabor the issue by wanting him to make another -- that you have no intention of accepting anyway.

I guess the question is whether Allen used that term one-time, or made a habit of it in the past. If one-time, I would agree. If he does it all the time, and knows what it means (i.e., Perry on coddling illegals), then Allen deserved to lose.

Thus sayeth the guy who said there are 1,300,000+ references to Rick Perry's "apology."

There are 61,000,000+ references on Google saying the United States Government caused 9-11.

There's another 1,050,000+ links saying we never landed on the moon and it was all a US Government hoax.

None of those links are credible or reliable either.

I guess in your world we're to base what happened or did not happen on the number of occurances of a Google search. Therefore the U.S. caused 9-11 and we never landed on the moon either. Using your logic, that's about right now isn't it?

When you live by the Google search, you die by the Google search.

Fact is, Rick Perry has yet to apologize despite your best (lame) attempts to use a Google search result to say that he did.

Hogwash. I pointed out where and how Rick Perry had a golden opportunity to set the record straight and put this behind him before it comes back to bite him in a Primary or a General Election.

Now, if I were as you say never going to accept his apology anyway, why would I have done that? Two reasons:

First, we can't afford a weak candidate in the General election. If Perry makes it that far, this will certainly, absolutely come back to bite him. I've a less than zero interest in seeing any Republican candidate go down over something this stupid, your candidate included.

Second, you can easily go back and search for any post I made when Rick Perry announced he was running. I cheered. I cheered when he said he'd fire Ben Bernake; I cheered again when he said the Fed Chair would get treated "pretty ugly" down in Texas. Here I thought was finaly someone that knew how to take on Obama on Obama's own terms in a flat out street fight, and win. Perry's said some things that made me cheer, others that have had me shaking my head in disbelief.

The second point is to show you that you don't know jack-diddly-squat about me or what I would/wouldn't accept. All you know how to do is call someone a "liberal" or accuse them of using "leftist liberal tricks" when you think they don't support (or want to support) the candidate you do.

If the best you have is name calling, I'm done discussing this with you. Frankly, if you're indicative of Perry's type of supporters, I don't want anything to do with the guy. Your behavior is none better than the OWS folks or a typical Obama supporter who claims "racism!" every time someone disagrees with him.

In the future, when someone offers up CONSTRUCTIVE criticism and raises the alarm on something your candidate needs to address and fix so he can "move on" and put an issue behind him, you carefully consider what it is they have to say before going off half-cocked making accusations of which you know nothing about.

Have a nice life.
