As a Perry supporter who tends to click on most of the Perry threads posted here, I’ve seen a disturbing trend.
There’s a certain group of miscreants — I think they are mostly Cain supporters, who just jump on all the Perry threads to post insults.
They don’t say anything substantive but just really childish, ugly insults.
I’ve never done that on a Cain thread and I don’t think most Perry supporters do.
Now the Newt people are getting almost as bad.
What’s with this falling madly in love with a candidate?
I’ll say here and now that I like Rick Perry a lot and think he would make the best president out of the group we have.
But I don’t worship him.
(he is cute, tho)

Actually, a number of them are phony “Cain Supporters”...they are mostly Paultards and DNC types pushing the weakest candidate in the field (Cain) and trying to disrupt the conservative side. They are best ignored or occasionally toyed with until their mom’s tell them to go to bed...

Couldn't have said it better. Thank You, altura. I'm from Texas and have lived under Perry since he was first elected Gov. I'm not so very Proud of him and I damn sure don't worship him (I don't think he's cute either), BUT I see noone else that can possible capture this Country's (and the GOP’s) imagination right now. The Texas Political highway is filled with ppl that counted Rick Perry OUT (to soon).
And Furthermore, I refrain from posting on Cain and Newt threads (as much as I possibly can).
I wish it wasn't like this, BUT, Damn it's Primary Season, put your Hat and your Boots on and Dream of me at night, not Rick Perry.

There were plenty of Perry supporters who early on after Perry got in the race, were pushing the idea that a vote for anybody but Perry was a vote for Romney. I'm not saying you did it altura, as far as I know you didn't, but I remember seeing it way too often and I think that is what really energized a lot of people to jump into Perry threads. Pushing the notion that a vote for a certain candidate is the same as a vote for Romney is about as childish and ugly as you can get. I see some Cain supporters doing it, although I'm not sure they if they are doing it ironically to mock the Perry supporters who claimed that Cain = Romney or if they are being serious.
This happens every election year though. This time around, the media is taking a more active roll in trying to give us Mittens, but this time around, the Tea Party movement is in existence and not going to allow them to do that.
Whats with this falling madly in love with a candidate?
Are you referring to people who post a certain number of threads supporting their candidate every single day, and who include a lot of pictures of their candidate?
I don't think they are in "madly in love with a candidate", I think they are getting paid to do post. I don't care how much you like a candidate, no sane person would wake up and post a bunch of threads like that every single day and post all those photos as if Cain or Perry were the head of some weird cult of personality. I get a chuckle out of certain people who do post those threads or who like to post a lot of candid photos of their candidates, because it just reminds me of something like you'd see in North Korea.
