We don’t make special open threads for all of these. This one’s supposed to be good.

  1. This crowd is NOT down with questioning Cain re: sexual harassment. They consider the matter gummed to death.

    In its way, it’s almost as bad as the guy who shouted to let the uninsured guy die.

      1. It takes one tremendous raging self-important ego to think ya got what it takes to become Pres and Parry’s bullshit & bluster just failed him on the national stage.  He’s got himself to blame for this monumentous FAIL.

        Anyone feeling sorry for this schmuck ought to seriously seek some counsel ’cause yer sympathy node is whacked.

      1. He gets criticized the next day for saying a different department than he had in his book, or on his web site, or whatever. But nobody notices that stuff.

        Really, he’s been in 28 debates with these goons already, and he hasn’t figured out that it’s all bluster and cheap applause lines? It’s hard to imagine anyone being dumber than George W. Bush, but there can be no doubt anymore. At least Bush could remember people’s names, stick to simple talking points, and jokingly dismiss any question that was too hard or awkward to answer. Perry has never demonstrated any skill at anything except keeping his hair from getting messed up.

    1. Having high profile sexual pedophiles in the news at the same time that Cain is being accused of being a sexual predator is the convergence of stories of abuse.  The Penn State stuff is sickening and to have it on the front page along with Cain’s alleged sexual misconduct does him no favors.  

  2. A- free press galore.

    B- No one is surprised to remember he has to take off his shoes to count past ten.

    C) SNL will make it funnier – but everyone will be talking about Perry.

    D) The GOTP defender spin meisters will make him the victim. They’ll dig up some video of Obama looking like an idiot (probably not the “57 states” thing, but something) then they’ll produce one of The Great Communicator himself looking stupid.  (There’s  more than a few to choose from – and I’m not talking about illegal arms deals, or accidental/ on purpose nuking Russia jokes.)

    In the end  he’s just regular folks, everyone makes mistakes heh – heh , and let’s get back to the point of cutting the gov’t in half.  

    1. If he’d just said “well I forgot the third one there for a minute, but I tell ya folks, I’m not gonna forget to cut government when you elect me!” or some such blather, he might maybe, just maybe, have gotten out of this with a shred of dignity intact. But his “oops” at the end was utterly, breathtakingly, bad: the worst debate moment ever. It made Admiral Stockdale look brilliant by comparison.

  3. I appreciate his passionate plea that to deny education to anyone (especially undocumented immigrants) is “heartless”

    It’s too bad to see that his position on immigration though is where his real nose-dive with the GOP started to take place  

  4. is that the departments of Education, Commerce and Energy must go away. This has been a mantra with them for decades.

    Perry flubbed this, and flubbed it bad. This makes it crystal clear that he is simply paying lip service to the hard right. It’s like a self-professed Christian being unable to name all three members of the Holy Trinity. “Lessee, there’s God, there’s Jesus, and then there’s, uh, uh, there’s, there’s, uh, Paul! Ha ha, uh, not Paul, but, uh, uh…. Sorry, uh, I can’t remember.”

    He didn’t look like an idiot simply to us, he looked like someone who isn’t a True Conservative ™. This is the end of his career in politics.

    1. So the Great Flip-Floppinator wants to do away with the EPA?

      I’m upset enough with Obama that the thought of voting for Romney was just barely beginning to register for me. Maybe he’d be as liberal as the Teabaggers fear he’ll be.

      But now he’s supported the Personhood initiative, and wants to eliminate the EPA? Thanks, Mitt, for restoring at least some semblance of sanity to my political leanings.
