Perry: Trump a cancer on conservatism, I won't stay silent on his mean-spirited politics
http://hotair.com ^ | July 22, 2015

I’ll quote a little but you’re better off reading the whole thing. There’ll be lots of media noise around it for the next few days, especially after Trump responds. And it’s a fine indictment of Hopenchange even apart from the Trump stuff. He’s trying to do two things here, picking a fight with the media’s favorite candidate to gain some reflected exposure and re-introducing himself to righties who disdain Trump but aren’t sure which way to go yet as an alternative. This is Perry telling Trump-haters, of which there are many, that their choices aren’t between Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz.

By the way, when was the last time one candidate attacked another this extensively this early in a primary? You can imagine that in the context of a primary challenge to an incumbent president, where the insurgent wants to make a comprehensive case against the tenure of the man in charge, but I can’t recall an example in an open field like this one.

In times of trouble, there are two types of leaders: repairers of the breach and sowers of discord.

The sower of discord foments agitation, thrives on division, scapegoats certain elements of society, and offers empty platitudes and promises. He is without substance when one scratches below the surface.

He offers a barking carnival act that can be best described as Trumpism: a toxic mix of demagoguery, mean-spiritedness and nonsense that will lead the Republican Party to perdition if pursued. That’s just the warm-up.

Donald Trump is the modern-day incarnation of the know-nothing movement.

Mr. Perry, attack Hillary and the GOPe instead of Trump and you will garner support. Until then you will lose.

And Fox, you better embrace the anger because the status quo will not stand.

Perry is ending his campaign much sooner than I thought he would.

“By taking the side of the leftist media, Rick Perry and Nikki Haley have totally destroyed their political careers”.

Your comments got me thinking about these lowlife weasels that call themselves Southern governors. We all know how the worthless Haley started the purge of all things Southern with her caving into Al Sharpton and the rest of the race-baiters on the Confederate flag, but it was actually the little twerp RINO GW Bush who kick started it. When he was governor of Texas he purged all Confederate memorials from all state grounds, and then his dimwitted successor carried on the scorched earth campaign of all Southern heritage in the State of Texas. Chickenshit, worthless RINOs that cave into liberals every time their elbows bend. The fat version of little George did the exact same thing in Florida! Cowards of the first degree.

I did not know that about GW. The Bush family are ALL rabid Statists. The Bush family should take their disgusting relatives back up to liberal Connecticut. They are fake Southerners.

I despise every last one of them.

Glad he was.

There must not have been many online here watching. The exchange between Megyn and Puntz was one of the most one-sided, presumptuous and biased I've seen concerning Trump's comments. Totally biased and intended to make Trump look bad.

Dragging Puntz back on to rehash it once again, four days after it happened, could have only one intent behind it. According to Puntz, Trump has lost the primary.

I’ve noticed that about Fox....and it’s very disappointing. CNN is running more objective stories on Trump....

And....he wears hipster glasses.

Perry’s a pandering politician (say that fast three times).

Dare I say it? Why not?

Rick is acting like a Dick.

Man, I used to like the Guy until the Dewhurst love fest anyway, but he is really getting on my nerves.
