See my later post.
Perry supporters never did to others what was done to them.
I’ve posted negative posts about Santorum because I don’t like him.
Everybody has done this. I’m talking about a concerted hate movement. You don’t know about it. Lucky you.
And now, even now that Perry is dropping out after a noble effort, they’re still making their snotty remarks. It’s in their DNA.
I’m for Newt, but I really like Rick Perry. He’s a gentleman and is showing honor. I think you’ll see that lots of people feel that way about him.
Maybe so, but I read some pretty “snotty” stuff coming from the Perry folks as well. Just saying. I wish everyone would just support their candidate and stop the negative crap. Everyone. Including me.
I've never seen so much vitriol and outright lies spread on here about Perry. Certain members on here called for him to be killed, put words in his mouth, decried him for not wanting to build an electric fence in the middle of the Rio Grande, declared that he personally allocated money from the TEF to businesses, even though he didn't have the power to do so, accused him of personally writing words on a rock, called him gay, called him La Raza Ricardo, bitched because he didn't use his double secret special powers to force Mexico to change recruitment marketing techniques within Mexico, and said that he wanted to be the president of Mexico.
I have no problem with people not supporting Perry based on style and facts. I do have a problem with people on here spreading lies about him. I have absolutely no use for these people now, as they have been exposed as hacks who are completely ok wtih spreading lies about people. Even when the lie was exposed, they kept spreading them. I had to deal with one idiot yesterday who just kept spewing nonsense. This idiot was saying that Perry was a liberal, and that John Kerry was more conservative than W. Bush. Once I realized that this person was illogical, I stopped wasting my time. If Perry had said Jesus was his savior, they would bitch and say that he's not. If Perry said the sky is blue, they would bitch saying Perry's stupid, and that it's really red.
Perry did not have a great campaign opening. He messed up in the first debates. I'm not blinded by reality. However, he's a good man. He's a good governor. He's a conservative, and he loves this country. I salute him for making the effort and for jumping out before a key primary. And I will make it a point to meet him soon, shake his hand, and thank him for what he's done.
I will support Gingrich now, as I think he's stronger than Santorum. I have issues with Newt, but those issues are smaller than Romney's. I honestly hope that Newt is a changed man, and that if he wins the nomination and the presidency he will not bring dishonor to the office. Romney and Obama must be defeated, and I hope that Newt is the person to do it.
To those who backed Perry, thank you. For those who didn't, but were respectful of him, thank you. For those who are the scum of the earth on the level of the Clinton smear machine, I can only hope that you change your ways.
Here's to a SC win for Newt!
