Just when you think you’re not bending too many ears with ‘the same stuff’ – something new catches a breeze.
Governor Rick Perry of
There was already a plethora of candidates. New additions needed to be ‘different’ and probably strident. But Mr. Perry’s entrance into the already crowded field seem to ruin everybody’s aim. All of a sudden – and we’re not blaming it *just* on him – but most everyone in the contest started shooting at one another… and the result was not pretty.
At the moment we’re in need of settling back and remembering whoever gets the nomination does not need to go into the final round with gaping wounds that give an enemy advantage in a contest which comes at such a serious time in this Nation’s affairs – indeed in world affairs.
Perhaps I’m waving a flag or shouting “Wolf, wolf, too loudly or too often.” But damage has been done to the cause.
We DEFINITELY need to stop firing at one another! Charging Mr. Romney with putting a major hole in the ship of state – or guaranteeing attacks will come because of untruths or simply tromping all over his integrity makes us look like a herd of RINO’s wanting to draw blood no matter at what cost. Even in shooting wars there have to be certain rules of engagement and proper conduct of battle… like not shelling hospitals or firing at schools and hospitals. That’s the same caliber of attacks that some exuberant candidates have been mounting against fellow soldiers… people on the same team. Quit that! It’s an instruction that needs to be voiced over and over lest we shoot our fellow soldiers.
Sorry to be so adamant and strident about this… but I’ve seen it happen before and we must not let it happen again. The important thing is to stand firm on principle and not get desperately fired up to ‘win at any cost, no matter who gets shot at.’ That’s not the way of winning or prevailing in the cause.
There’s a lot more that could be said… and possibly needs to be said. – but let’s rememeber – we teach infantrymen to throw hand grenades at the other side. Not drop them in our own soldier’s knapsack!
Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”
POSSIBLY I COULD LUCK OUT – OTOH?
Just a Minute: According to the Washington Post – and other major papers – Gov. Rick Perry is committed to the next debate in
It’s not clear how many verbal jousts are yet on tap. Estimates range from seven between now and the end of 2011 – to 18 max. With the whispers going around – and increasing talk about the need to “really spend time with actual voters” it’s hard to draw a bead on a moving target. Recent predictions I’ve heard are that Mitt may not win
Perry’s top man told the Houston Chronicle he didn’t see fitting many debates in the schedule was really very likely. So what’s really gonna happen? The sun most likely will continue to rise in the East … I’m Jack Buttram. (END)
