These Fox News Special Report "center seat" interviews - questioning by 3 or 4 Fox News regulars - start off on TV, and then usually move online at 7PM EST - at the link above. I think these are pretty intensive & fair interviews; the last one with Gingrich was very informative. Hope Perry proves to the world he's not the idiot of popular caricature; he's my 2nd choice, if Gingrich should fall.

Did you even watch the interview? Nope, you just started posting the same tired crap.
One who purposely and deliberately (that purpose usually being self-amusement) starts an argument in a manner which attacks others on a forum without in any way listening to the arguments proposed by his or her peers.
He will spark of such an argument via the use of ad hominem attacks (i.e. 'you're nothing but a fanboy' is a popular phrase) with no substance or relevence to back them up as well as straw man arguments, which he uses to simply avoid addressing the essence of the issue. A member of an internet forum who continually harangues and harasses others. Someone with nothing worthwhile to add to a certain conversation, but rather continually threadjacks or changes the subject, as well as thinks every member of the forum is talking about them and only them. Trolls often go by multiple names to circumvent getting banned.
My comments do serve a purpose. To oppose Perry. Don’t like it? Tough.
And a Texan.
“Why on earth would he keep being re-elected, if he had trouble expressing himself.”
Because he didn’t “do” debates and of the few he did through the years, they were on PBS and few people would see it and they were short. He travels the state and shakes hands and utters these words in no particular order: “smaller government, lower taxes, tort reform (that would come out as law reform if he didn’t remember “tort”), etc.
The above is fine if you don’t have serious opposition and he didn’t because Texas is major Republican. Being the President of the United States is quite different and requires communication skills all the time and every word a President says is important - all over the world.
I worked for Perry every time he ran (been around him for years at gatherings, parties, workshops, etc.), but I cannot do it in good conscience for President - I just can’t. Sure, I would like our President to be from Texas, what Texan wouldn’t, but this country is in serious trouble and I have to, with my knowledge and serious contemplation, choose the one I think can do the best job of literally saving this country from destruction.
I’m not going to write all this again but wanted you to know why I can’t choose my own governor for president.
There is a presidential debate tomorrow night on CNN.
People who feel unworthy to shine somebody else's shoes (especially a politician's, for crying out loud) don't have much self-worth and there's always a good reason for that. Underachieving is almost a given there.
Now, really, you're going to have to stop digging yourself deeper.
I have things to do now and don't have time to keep clarifying and explaining things for you.
Anybody else up for babysitting for a while? I've gotta run.
That guy is so far out there he now thinks he can tell a Texan what a Texan is.
For 18 months of his life.
Do they recruit you people, at a daycare?
Oh no! Have you been waiting all this time? When can you be here? FR is not a good medium for these skills. FYI, this week is very busy for me.
Cut the pay, cut the time AND cut the budget for staff.
Now I'll talk slowly for you..."Not worthy of shining his shoes" is a figure of speech. Are you familiar with that concept?
I haven't achieved what Cain has and neither have you.
See my post 104 to Shield.
You are attacking posters. That isn’t debate. That is trolling.
The issue is did you watch the interview and can you provide an intelligent reason why what he said today is wrong policy wise?
If you didn’t watch the interview, then kindly STFU with the personal attacks. You posted the first troll post and threadjacked the discussion off of the interview to yourself and Perry supporters. You fail in debate. I will give you an A+ for trolling though.
When the two Bushes each sat in the Oval Office are you telling me that you regarded them as New Englanders?
Get real.
More racism isn’t helping your position.
Must be terribly busy. You’re here.
Yes, I saw him and saw the hesitations trying to find the right words. See my post 104 to Shield.
PSSST buccaneer81: I’m not a white guy.
No, I've achieved different things, based off of my own particular talents and strengths. And I'm not done yet.
And there is no politician to whom I feel inferior.
Judging by your posts on here, I can see why you would, though.
Now, there are some people I have been or would be very honored to meet.
I got to meet Ronald Reagan in 1992 and was very honored. I would be very honored to meet someone like Margaret Thatcher.
But I do not feel inferior and I also do not hold Herman Cain up nearly as high in my estimation as the two aforementioned.
I can support candidates. I do not fawn all over any of them.
