During one commercial break, Perry and Rep. Ron Paul, a fellow Texan, continued their spirited exchange on stage. After other candidates stepped away, the pair continued to talk and, at one point, Perry spread and extended his arms while speaking emphatically to the congressman.

"Another commercial exposing me like that, and there is going to be an unfortunate plane accident."

There should be a SuperPAC - anti Rick Perry.

 

[jrice]

if Perry did push Paul we have got to get the video!

 

[BuddyRey]

Do you guys really think Perry might have made some physically aggressive move toward Ron during a break in the debate to mess with his concentration or intimidate him? If so, I sure hope the campaign or Ron himself addresses it as soon as possible.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Man, it looks like Ron's campaign got a rise outta 'ol Gardasil Rick. heh

Seems to me that would look good on the front page, but perhaps it isn't a decision I should make while I'm seeing red.

Do it!

 

[Shane Harris]

I bet money this had something to do with the (admittedly) below the belt reference to him being a cheerleader haha " if you ever bring up my cheering history again ron i swear..."

 

[RonPaulFanInGA]

In seriousness, Perry is probably saying something like "you shouldn't attack a fellow Texas Republican" and "remember Reagan's 11th commandment".

Yes, and it didn't affect Ron's concentration. Paul will just ignore. He won't do anything.

 

[notsure]

O No. Somebody better hold me back!

 

[JohnGalt23g]

Hell of a lot of good that did John F. Kennedy...

I think it's safe to say they've upped their game over the last 50 years...

 

[Bruno]

Do it!

Drudge did, so I don't see a problem with it. Nor would I have regardless.

 

[AggieforPaul]

Im not sure what to make of this pic. Perry is clearly trying to be the alpha male here putting his hand over Ron's and wagging his finger in his face, but Ron's nonchalance in the face of all of it is a positive. Bush used to do this too, when he and Putin would greet each other, they'd both go to great lengths to try and make the other one look submissive through body language.

Rick Perry is just begging to be exposed, the establishment backing him is really a good thing. It shows how desperate they are and also there is no way Perry will win if he is properly vetted! I mean some candidates have past issues that are "merky" but Perry has a warehouse full of skeletons!

 

[IDefendThePlatform]

My favorite so far, although they all rock. +rep

 

[low preference guy]

I am not a cheerleader, I'm a YELL leader.

 

[rp08orbust]

Does anyone remember this?



If exploited properly, this could end Rick Perry's campaign.

 

[JohnGalt23g]

In seriousness, Perry is probably saying something like "you shouldn't attack a fellow Texas Republican" and "remember Reagan's 11th commandment".

If he's really that thin-skinned as to react that way in his first debate, then his candidacy may well be as short-lived as some here would hope.
