Now that Rick Perry has come across as an insincere person who just memorizes talking points and parrots them, it is clear that there is no chance he will get the nomination. It is best for this Karl Rove stooge to quit the race. Maybe, he should donate all the money he has raised to the Cain campaign.
His supporters have probably deserted him after realizing that he just makes insincere claims about cutting down the government. Perry's insincerity is very typical of Karl Rove's puppets.
Correct?
Actually, in this case, it's just one FReeper with delusions of grandeur.
That was PERFECT, it cannot be explained much better.
That’s the ticket... trash talk the other camp then invite them over for tea
Your analysis is really quite excellent. It is not a complete match for the way I see things, but very good anyway.
I tried to support Perry because he looks so solid on paper (aside from his immigration problems), but for me it has become absolutely clear he can not communicate effectively enough to be President. I certainly don’t dislike him, I think he’s got a good record and I feel confident he’d make mostly the right decisions as President - but half the battle of being President is being able to persuade people that conservative changes are the way forward and I don’t think Perry can do that.
I simply can not take Herman Cain seriously. Period. I don’t think he will be the nominee, and if he were I think he’d lose in a landslide. I will not be supporting him (though I will certainly vote for him in a general election on the off chance he wins the nomination). Also, I do not support a national sales tax and the answer to every problem is not 999 - that got old and tired a long time ago.
So, I am left looking for a conservative candidate to support. For me, the only viable option left seems to be Gingrich. Newt has his problems no doubt, but the one thing he does exceptionally well is intellectually communicate conservatism - he fundamentally understands it, can discuss the very core of its meaning in a debate format or in any give and take conversation. So for all his problems, I think I am left with supporting Newt - and I am actually beginning to think I should have been all along. I am not satisfied with these choices, I wish Paul Ryan had run myself - but the field is what it is and is not going to change. Out of the bunch, Gingrich is both qualified on substance AND communication skills.
I can’t speak for Jim Wayne.
But I can say that I’m pretty hard core anti Rove.
So, nope, I’m not cutting any candidates a break. Not now or ever.
It’s a Simple Rule.
If you were Ever Managed By Karl Rove, you are unacceptable as a candidate.
Rick Perry was Managed By Karl Rove.
Therefore, he’s unacceptable.
Very Simple
That is the story that they like to tell.
Karl Rove would like to have control of the candidate he likes and the candidate he doesn’t.
1 simple rule - never vote for any candidate that Karl Rove has ever managed.
Your candidate proved himself the biggest retard in the history of politics and you’re saying that I don’t listen to facts? I guess Perry hasn’t run out of money yet.
You don’t feel embarrassed to be hyping Perry still?
You should be.
That’s a fact right there.
Way to inspire support for your idol, skippy. LOL
I'm not hyping him -- in fact, I've pretty much given up on him (of the other declared candidates, Cain and Gingrich look best to me). However, I'm really big on basing my decisions on objective reality.
I say that Perry's presidential shortcomings have nothing to do with his association with Rove nearly a quarter century ago. Are you saying that if Perry had never met Rove, he'd be an acceptable candidate to you? I doubt it. That's why I'm saying this long-ago association is irrelevant to his suitability for office today.
find a worse youtube than the perry youtube.
Sometimes there IS a biggest retard.
If Perry never met Rove he might be running against Obama for the Democratic nomination.
But the argument is about Karl Rove, not about Rick Perry’s suitability for office.
What makes a candidate a Karl Rove candidate?
1) If Karl Rove ever managed you.
That makes Rick Perry a Karl Rove candidate.
Sorry you are not getting the applause you had hoped for.
