So why is it, really this is a question for the lefties on this forum, that Perry is unfit to run for office and is just a stupid Texan just like Bush because he forgot something under the pressure of the campaign?
I wonder if that is why Obama has EVERYTHING written for him and put on a teleprompter. Is it because he is an idiot? Probably not. So should we just allow teleprompters for everyone on the debates so they have the same advantage as the bully pulpit of the president?
It would be nice to see some real honesty from some of the dems on what they think about this instead of the party line.
