"WHY are Bachmann, Cain and Paul protecting Romney?"
Yeah, that does not sound strange and half baked at all./s
Well, Bachmann, Cain and Paul are and perhaps Santorum. That leaves Newt and Huntsman who are staying out of this. Newt says he’s tired of Republicans going after Republicans and taking our eyes off Obama.
“So everyone but Perry is in the race to protect Romney?
Yeah, that does not sound strange and half baked at all./s “
I wouldn’t go so far as to say everyone in the race is there to protect Romney, but it’s pretty clear from every debate so far that there appears to be some kind of secret agreement not to go after Romney and Perry is the only one that didn’t get that memo.
How else do you explain the fact that all these so-called conservatives have not been shy about pointing out Perry’s flaws (of which there are certainly a few) and yet have not so much as uttered a syllable about all the liberal postions and inconsistencies in Romney’s record-which are about 10 times worse than Perry’s?
I’d like to believe otherwise, but based on the conduct of all the candidates on stage (except Gingrich and Huntsman), the plan seems to be to tear down Perry and leave Romney alone. That’s what I’ve seen in the debates so far, tell me where I’m wrong.
