View Full Version : Rick Perry Says it was a Mistake to Debate

Many political observers agree that Rick Perry's dismal debate performances have helped spark his dramatic collapse in recent polls. Now, not surprisingly, the Republican presidential hopeful insists his biggest mistake in the campaign so far was agreeing to participate in the forums at all.

"These debates are set up for nothing more than to tear down the candidates. It's pretty hard to be able to sit and lay out your ideas and your concepts with a one-minute response," the Texas governor told Fox News's Bill O'Reilly. "So, you know, if there was a mistake made, it was probably ever doing one of the [debates], when all they're interested in is stirring up between the candidates instead of really talking about the issues that are important to the American people."

But Perry also conceded he had made mistakes during the debates, including when he said critics of a push he led in Texas to allow the children of illegal immigrants to attend state colleges and universities at in-state tuition rates did not "have a heart."

"I used the wrong word there," Perry admitted.

Wow, this guy just does not speak well. I don't think the other candidates feel that way about the debates. Who is to blame for Perry's own words? Perry, not the debate format. How does he think he could have gotten the nomination without attending the debates?

That's what killed Paul in 2008. He just looked like a deer in a car's headlights. That said, the debates aren't helpful at all.

For the voters that is.

Rick Perry is arrogant enough to think he should have the voters' votes without even speaking to them? For shame! Truly if one cannot articulate the basic believes that he or she holds true, then he or she does not deserve the highest office in the land. Perry should return to his wretched state and attempt to conserve whatever pride he has remaining.
