That little peccadillo aside, how marvelous candidate Perry actually delivers a gaffe-free interview! Color me encouraged. /s How sad a state of preparedness and ability to have to trumpet one gaffe-free interview. And, people call Cain 'inexperienced', 'simplistic' and all manner of other ills (not authentically black, not down with the struggle and other BS).
The point of all this is that if you have deep convictions and are heartfelt, you don't need to be coached, rehearsed or schooled; you speak, speak from the heart.
That’s the point. Perry has always spoken from the heart, he just didn’t have the practiced 30 second sound bites you need for a debate.
True. Perry's problem is that the heart can't tell which way the wind is blowing like a wet finger and a platoon of hired guns can.
I agree. My first thought when I saw the headline was “how sad is it when your interview is heralded as gaffe-free”. Perry is and has always been, first and foremost, a politician. I think the reason that Cain resonates with many voters is that they can tell he does have convictions and speaks from the heart. Is he perfect, heck no. But he does offer something very different from what we have been conditioned to. It’s refreshing.
The press will damn with faint praise, just as they created the false impression about future debates and the birthers by repeatedly asking him questions, ignored when he said the question was a distraction and returned to his energy, tax and economic plans.
Notice that Governor Rick Perry stands on his own ideas and record and sells his plans for the Nation.
He’s adamant that his goal is not to give Washington and Congress every thing they want to spend. His goal is to let us keep our money and rebuild our economy.
He goes after Obama and spending, he points out that Romney has proven himself a RINO. He does not feel the need to “compete” with conservatives.
He will win on his own record, his proven consistent philosophy and merit, not by destroying good men and women who would be his allies in any other contest.
Well at least nobody has been paying off Perry’s sexual harassment victims. Cain is toast.
