Perry said it was the wrong choice of words and he had the humility to admit his mistake.
What would he have to do to gain your forgiveness?
Rick Perry doesn't need my forgiveness nor do I believe he wants it. This isn't even about forgiveness. It's about his having revealed his true feelings regarding conservatives like myself who think giving taxpayer funded subsidies to ILLEGAL aliens is wrong.
It's an ideological difference of opinion in which forgiveness doesn't play a part.
