The applause identified Rick Perry as the crowd favorite when he took the stage in Tampa for Monday night’s Tea Party debate , greeting his lesser rivals as “fellas.”
But two hours later, those fellas – and a gal from Minnesota – had made some serious progress toward exposing the broad-shouldered Texas governor as an empty suit.
A few things. First of all, no one is perfect. Everyone has made a bad decision or two.
Second, as governor of one of the largest economies in the world, Perry has had to make thousands of decisions and sign thousands of bills. Are there decisions he would like to change out of those thousands? I am sure. And who is attacking him? Other than Romney who only ran one term and created about 10,000 jobs, all the rest all have never signed one bill in their life. They just hide behind a voting record along with 435 other members. And all they can do is attack 2-3 things about him in thousands of bills. Not a bad record actually.
Third, he has explained the HVC and how there was an opt out and how he would have done that differently. Case expalined, should be enough said, but they have nothing else. And the SS Ponzi scheme statement? Anyone who looks up Ponzi scheme can see that he is almost dead on! Those under 35 paying into it today have a very slim chance of seeing any of that money bakc unless it is fixed. It is a total Ponzi scheme right now. Those in early will get money back but those paying in now are paying to make up for the money lost. If the marker was called on that right now to pay back everyone that has paid into it, the money is not even close to being there! He NEVER said he wants to totally get rid of it. He wants to fix it but people keep saying that he wants to get rid of it when hs has come out and said he doesn't.
The liberal media and even FOX are attacking him. So he must be doing something right.
Definitely not a Perry fan.. Yup, he used his office to funnel a huge amount of money to a supporter. I do believe this has become a prerequisite to being elected. He's a panderer. That's what the voters like.
