Stick a fork in Rick Perry. He’s done. Regardless of how he did during the debate during the broadcast, the still photos of him grabbing Ron Paul by the wrist with one hand and pointing at him with the other signal the beginning of the end for his campaign before it has even started. Given Democrat proclivity to engage in Mediscare type campaigning, Republicans of all types should avoid appearing to intimidate the elderly. He handed them a campaign photo on a silver platter with that one gesture. If you thought Carl Rove’s anti-man crush on Perry was bad before, just wait. And regardless of the disparity in their ages, there’s line between swaggering cowboy and bully and Rick Perry crossed it. So long Rick. We’ll pick someone who can keep his hands to himself regardless of any perceived provocation.

Another insitefull comment from the peanut gallery.
gekster (Diary) Thursday, September 8th at 4:46PM EST (link)You should really get out more.

“It’s such a fine line between stupid, and clever.” – David St. Hubbins
By all means...
phlogiston (Diary) Friday, September 9th at 12:02AM EST (link)…let me know where I can find these diaries vs comments rule. I double checked the Redstate posting rules subpage just to be sure – nothing there on diaries vs comments. In fact I don’t see anything I did that violated any of the rules. No profanity or vulgarity. Personal attacks? Not by me. At me maybe. So what rule have I broken Mr. Moderator?
Remember, folks: friends don’t let friends call site moderators ‘crazy’ on this forum.
Rule 1: Don't be stupid and obnoxious.
mbecker908 (Diary) Friday, September 9th at 12:08AM EST (link)You’ve shattered it.
In other words,
phlogiston (Diary) Friday, September 9th at 12:12AM EST (link)Don’t post anything you (or Bill) disagree with?
Got it.
Remember, folks: friends don’t let friends call site moderators ‘crazy’ on this forum.
We generally don't boot people for being stupid.
Bill S (Diary) Friday, September 9th at 12:24AM EST (link)Obnoxious is another story.
“It’s such a fine line between stupid, and clever.” – David St. Hubbins
So there is no rule Bill
phlogiston (Diary) Friday, September 9th at 7:12AM EST (link)So there is no rule, vis-a-vis comments vs. diaries Bill. Your buddy made that up and you (as all-powerful Moderator) decided to back him up. And I’m the one who’s “obnoxious?!” What a standard THAT is.
Apparently the dominant rule at work here is an unwritten one that says, “thou shalt not say anything remotely, possibly supportive of Ron Paul.” For the record, I’m no Paul-bot. I think he’s nuts. But obviously the crazy person on the stage that night got way too deep under Perry’s skin. That says something about Perry, and it isn’t flattering. In my opinion, it’s disqualifying. I’d still like to know what’s officially “obnoxious” or otherwise rule-breaking about saying so.
Remember, folks: friends don’t let friends call site moderators ‘crazy’ on this forum.
Compared to you, RonPaul is the model of intelligence
mbecker908 (Diary) Friday, September 9th at 10:07AM EST (link)common sense and decorum.
You are simply off the chart stupid and obnoxious. And you are completely ignorant of politics and the media cycle. Go play with Alex Jones.
My personal policy...
Bill S (Diary) Saturday, September 10th at 11:22PM EST (link)is to ignore idiots, as they’re generally not stupid enough to keep at it. You were obviously an exception.

Laughable and wildly pathetic...
APA Guy (Diary) Thursday, September 8th at 4:50PM EST (link)First of all, it’s Karl Rove…with a “K”…
Second, whenever you put forth an analysis prefaced by “Regardless of how he did during the debate…”, you tell us you really don’t care how the candidate performed on the national stage or what he stands for.
Your consternation is so…useless…and unwelcome.

phlogiston (Diary) Thursday, September 8th at 10:58PM EST (link)…you’ll post your reply twice just to make sure everyone sees it? Great, I misspelled “Karl… with a K” Rove’s name. As if that makes a difference in the basic point?
I don’t care how a candidate performs or what he stands for? Where on God’s green earth did you pull that out of? Actually I care very much how a candidate performs, both on the national stage and off, when the cameras are on him and when they aren’t (or he at least thinks they aren’t). The ability to “perform” well wouldn’t mean so much to you if you had been paying the slightest bit of attention during the past two years.
Remember, folks: friends don’t let friends call site moderators ‘crazy’ on this forum.
You have been here long enough to know...
APA Guy (Diary) Friday, September 9th at 8:27AM EST (link)…that the double posting thing happens incidentally, not by design.
The truth of my comment stands. If you DO care how a candidate performs and what he stands for, you wouldn’t have written this useless drivel. I did notice, however, that you are going out of your way to defend Ron Paul downthread…which may or may not be telling, but is curious either way.
Adios…next time, write something worth wasting 5 minutes of my life for rather than 30 seconds…
Wow, my respect for Perry
izoneguy (Diary) Thursday, September 8th at 5:22PM EST (link)Just went UP 10 points….
Perry should have given that old gas bag a right hook and layed him out.
The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.
Meh...
J. Leg (Diary) Thursday, September 8th at 5:22PM EST (link)This isn’t going to hurt Perry.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. He’s just telling Paul to cool it.
What I’m looking for is a more thorough explanation on his change of heart about the abuse of executive power he used. As well as some of his crony capitalist tendencies and his views on immigration.
But overall, Perry’s a solid conservative. He’s a good candidate and standing up to Paul is only going to help him in the eyes of conservatives. It’s a non-issue in the general election.
J. Leg, you didn't watch the debate, did you?
lineholder (Diary) Thursday, September 8th at 11:18PM EST (link)Perry actually provided a relatively sound explanation of the…how is that you phrased it? “Abuse of executive power?” Just for clarification, that is in reference to the Gardasil incident? Yes, he provided an explanation that for that.
I think someone posted a link to the youtube copy of the entire debate on one of today’s diaries, if you’re interested.
Here is the link to the 8 part debate on youtube.

The only problem with that series of pictures
mbecker908 (Diary) Thursday, September 8th at 11:14PM EST (link)is we don’t have one showing Perry slapping the s**t out of the idiot Paul.
He wasn't poking his finger in Paul's face

Rule #1 when you try to manufacture a scandle is to make sure that nobody close to the parties will dispel the innuendo.
My rules of the road for primary season.
Rule #1: Vote for YOUR first choice in the primaries
Rule #2: Vote for the R in the general.
Rule #3: Don’t let anyone convince you to violate Rule #1 or Rule #2
Rule #4: When in a center-right argument, reaffirm Rules #1-#3–it will help us all to get along better.
Rule #5: If you are using the language of the left, you probably aren’t furthering conservativism
Rule #6: The priority is issues first, candidates second, and supporters third. Nobody is bigger than the issues. Conversely, if you spend your time focusing on supporters, you are wasting everyone’s time.
STOP THE MADNESS!
A reduction in the rate of spending increases is NOT a cut!

Requiring someone to pay their medical bills is NOT an individual mandate!
Reducing tax rates is NOT a tax increase!

phlogiston - As a senior citizen (over 70 and female),
pttx333 (Diary) Friday, September 9th at 12:25AM EST (link)I feel that I do have some moral authority to refer to your “diary” as ridiculous. And as a really creaky little old lady – apparently your opinion of anyone over 70 – my conclusion is that Mr. Perry was not accosting Mr. Paul at all. You see, in Texas we are touchy-feely folks and can’t seem to make a point without touching the one to whom we are speaking.
Now, if Mr. Perry had “beaten the tar” – a Texas phrase, doncha know – out of Mr. Paul and sat on him for a spell, I might take a second look, but I’m sure even then I would come to the same conclusion which is:
Get a life! Your comment is beyond ridiculous, it is out-and-out bizarre. In fact, I’ll go one step beyond – you, sir, are insulting the elderly!!!
pttx333, we in SC have a phrase that seems to fit phlogiston well:
yoyo (Diary) Monday, September 12th at 11:08AM EST (link)“Bless his Heart” — That is very polite for, “Stupid.”

pttx333 (Diary) Monday, September 12th at 1:58PM EST (link)As I’ve posted on RS before, you can get away with saying most anything negative about another if you follow it with “Bless her/his heart.” LOVE IT and use it frequently.
And another angle to that is as a “seasoned” citizen, you have an added advantage of go a little above that with a “perils of Pauline (or Paul)” routine. You know, use the blink-blink thingy – that works well also! There are definite pluses to attaining the seasoned status.
Aren’t we happy to be from the Southern tradition? I know that I am.
And you have a wonderful day also, ma’am/sir! Thanks for the support.
I love that pic
powertothepeople (Diary) Friday, September 9th at 1:40AM EST (link)and too bad Ron Paul can still see out of his eyes. Ron Paul wants to hide behind “civility rules” all while spewing obnoxious nonsense, pushing buttons on everyone, doing nothing to reign in his rude, disrespectful, and bat crazy tin foil supporters. He is an absolute embarrassment to the party, his state, and this country. He wants to run around blaming the dead for their own death on 9-11, and so far he has gotten away with it. Perry has always been a straight shooter and I have no doubt he put the fear of God in that old bastard. I guarantee Ron Paul knows he will not be allowed to push Perry around ever. He is a joke, a POS, a scumbag, and a joke and should be treated as such. It is about time he is excluded from all debates this election cycle and any other he chooses to run in.
And sorry bub, guarantee anyone who likes Perry, likes him more after seeing those pics and those who were yet undecided, are now fully in the Perry camp. May even get some moderate dems who were embarrassed by the other joke of this country, Obama, because the know Perry will never bow to any foreign dignitary.
I can not wait till this country does two things in 2012, gives Obama his pink slip and hands the Paultard his retirement papers so he can slither away from our lives.
