Ignore Romney!

GO AFTER The Won with a vengeance!

Convince voters that you're the best candidate to take on obama in the general election.

I really don’t think I have rose colored glasses, after all, I was one of the few who recognized that Fred Thompson wasn’t serious. Remember? No, the person to go after is Romney unless we want to lose again like we did with McCain. I don’t know if Perry is the guy to win, but I know that Romney is not.

All this time I thought the prime directive was to get Obama out of the White House. Another four years will seem like an eternity,

Perry has a record? Apparently not much of one

Just how electable is a candidate who, despite being Governor of the state for 10 years, cannot even persuade a majority of his own Texas state party to vote for him?

Plenty of time to go after Obama AFTER Super Tuesday. You start going after him now you give him time to come up with the ammunition to defeat you in November 2012

Perry must do a lot better in the debates very soon.

I'm pretty sure the pundits all said that, two or three debates back. Perry has flopped in every debate, and he's not coming back, no matter how hard the Perrywinkles stomp their feet.

All Boy Perry had to do was bring plans to the table out of the chute, articulate them and outlast the rest of the field in going after the 75% of voters who don't want to have anything to do with Romney.

He failed.

Cain has been going after Obama for a while now. I have yet to see anything consistent, damning and strong from Perry against Obama. And where was Perry in criticizing Obama *before* he declared?

I am calling all you blind Cain loyalists industrial strength hypocrites. You claim Romney is undesirable but yet, Cain does NOTHING to go after Romney and you're all lathered up about Perry. You're going after the wrong person.

Until Cain goes after Romney, I will believe he is in this WITH Romney. He has even said he'd be Romney's VP and Romney continues to praise Cain.

“Perry has shown almost no interest in attacking anyone but Romney”

Perry jumped on the CNN bandwagon claiming that Cain is not pro-life. Now that his campaign is hopeless he must have cut a deal with Romney, or with Obama. He is in full Kamikaze mode along with Michele Bachmann. This will not end well for him.

The private sector creates jobs. The government only creates Government jobs.

You're not wearing the rose colored glasses! I just included you in the ping. I apologize for the confusion.

Look, I met and personally spoke with Rick Perry. He could not have been nicer or more gracious and friendly to me. He's not evil or liberal, but he has some serious problems, but I will vote for him if he's our nominee.

I don't think he helps himself AT ALL, by engaging in petty squabbles with Romney. I think he has to sell himself to the voters and that the best way is to be himself!

Drop his idiot handlers! Be himself. He thinks obama is a disaster, so say so! Go after obama. That will make Romney look like the squishy milquetoast he truly is!

Rock ‘em, sock ‘em Perry! Be a fighter against obama!

I would give the same advice to Herman Cain!

Go for it, BIG TIME! NAIL OBAMA!

Ignore Romney, the be all to everyone imposter!

If Rick is as good at destroying others as he has been to himself, then others should be worried. :-)

Perry is in Kamikaze mode, but his target is Romney.

He just took the opportunity to take a small jab at Cain when given a chance, but make no mistake Romney is and will continue to be his primary target.

Perry won’t help himself any, but I think with enough effort and money he will be able to hurt Romney’s numbers, especially since Romney is such a target rich environment.

I don't think Perry has what it takes to "destroy" Cain. I think he will only destroy himself.

I'm most compatible with Rep. Bachmann at this point, but she's only getting 4% in Iowa and the other candidates voters have to go somewhere.

I'll be watching closely at the other candidates the next 3-4 months to see whom to support..

perry did personally and dishonestly attack Csin during his “Values’ speech which tells me that he has none.

Perry is such a spoiled brat. Waaaaa. I am not winning so let me destroy a real conservative. So much for being a patriot. He is pretty much a traitor to America with his lies about being a conservative. Bottom line is I am grateful that this skunk is done and it was his OWN fault.
