Ron Paul's reaction to rick perry grabbing his arm photo

[Chainspell]

incase you guys missed it! I think it's damage control on Ron's part. When I started reading about people saying we should make a big deal out of that photo. I thought, well hang on, that's gonna make Ron look like a little girl who can't handle being in politics. Cant handle butting heads together that he has to cry about every little thing.

So this was a splendid response, it's like a non apology apology type thing. It's like he's hinting that it happened but he doesnt think its a big deal at all. Bravo Ron!




part 2 was posted hours later:

Hate to say it, but I seriously doubt he doesn't remember. I've been around awhile and Rick Perry did not look happy. Maybe Huntsman should tell us what was said. lol....

 

[sluggo]

Rick Perry is still an asshole.

 

[RonPaulFever]

If the last person on Earth I expect to lie to me is, in fact, lying to me.....well then.

Rick Perry is still an asshole.

That's (supposedly) what she said.

I did notice in one of the pictures that Ron was laughing while facing Huntsman.

At first I thought it was a big deal, but who the hell knows?

I think people should stop bringing it up, the campaign obviously isn't going to discuss what actually happened.

This response could be used against him. To claim he can't remember something that happened less than 24 hours before giving this speech does not look good.

lol yeah but seriously he cant remember that but he can remember everything else but i know some people are dumb enough to buy into that. but its true also that while having a conversation with someone you don't remember if he held your hand or waved his hand around. not unless you know you're gonna be asked later lol.

Yeah, like he couldn't remember what state Perry was governor of? If Perry was on the verge of out of control, I'd say he owe's Ron one for not kicking it up a level.

I like the way this writer for Huffington Post spins it:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/08/rick-perry-ron-paul_n_954440.html

Basically the news media talks about a two tier, but there is a middle tier in Ron Paul. And although the media refuses to admit it, Perry getting in Paul's face is proof Paul is rattling some cages.

My main concern is with the age issue, Ron's enemies will surely use it to imply his faculties are failing. Get it?

Nice vid.

Maybe it is just his way of saying to the Perry camp, Sorry your not all that intimidating, and whatever you had to say just wasn't substantive enough to bother with remembering.

He was just joking around. geez.

 

[LibertyEagle]

He says it's a non-deal, so I am going to take him at his word.

Okay, that's that, then. I think plenty of people have seen those pics. It's time to move on.
