“And FTR, he did not say racists.”
Two debates ago; “And the bottom line is it doesn’t make any difference what the sound of your last name is.”
- Rick Perry to Wolf Blitzer
Which is him telling those of us that are against illegal immigration, and freebies to these criminals, that we need to shut our racist mouths and vote Perry.
As an accomplished writer, I am sure that you possess the ability to tell someone to go to hell in such a way as to make them look forward to the journey. That is pretty much what Perry did here.
Well that was a tiny point of my post — and I certainly don’t disagree that one could infer that - I mistook your post for a more direct quote of what he said. Sorry for the crossed wires.
Not that it matters, the comment was bad enough as is.
I think you may be giving Perry and his advisors / coaches / advisors too much credit for smoothing out a journey to hell. Sounded more like pure clumsiness to me. He really fades late in these things.
Either way, he is paying a price for it.
