“The Tea Party committed suicide by turning on Perry.”
You’re Goddamn right about that!!!
Enjoy Mitt, err, another 4 years of Obama everyone...
The Tea Party motto:
The perfect are the enenmy of the good.
New Tea Party slogan:
Just us! we are fair weather friends!
*sigh*
1) Tea Party candidates are NOT in favor of giving tax payer money to illegals for college.
2) Tea Party candidates do not trash fellow conservative voters by calling them Heartless in the national Republican debate.
Perry is GOP guy and NOT tea party. Herman Cain is way more of a Tea Party candidate than Perry.
The Tea Party has NOT turned on Perry. There are plenty of Tea Parties out there and I know for a fact there are plenty still supporting him.
I am thinking the basics require getting the controversies out there early sometimes priming and timing the leaks yourself to fit your own calendar. Phase II will be addressing it sufficiently and overcoming it. Overreach and backfire of opponents can be part of the equation and manipulating and managing the fallout is the challenge for all candidates. Perry’s campaign will do this, or be replaced, or be gone and fade entirely. He is still in the game today. The backfire is also
still underway today, and the overreach is raising its head.
