I’ll quote a little but you’re better off reading the whole thing. There’ll be lots of media noise around it for the next few days, especially after Trump responds. And it’s a fine indictment of Hopenchange even apart from the Trump stuff. He’s trying to do two things here, picking a fight with the media’s favorite candidate to gain some reflected exposure and re-introducing himself to righties who disdain Trump but aren’t sure which way to go yet as an alternative. This is Perry telling Trump-haters, of which there are many, that their choices aren’t between Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz. By the way, when was the last time one candidate attacked another this extensively this early in a primary? You can imagine that in the context of a primary challenge to an incumbent president, where the insurgent wants to make a comprehensive case against the tenure of the man in charge, but I can’t recall an example in an open field like this one. In times of trouble, there are two types of leaders: repairers of the breach and sowers of discord. The sower of discord foments agitation, thrives on division, scapegoats certain elements of society, and offers empty platitudes and promises. He is without substance when one scratches below the surface. He offers a barking carnival act that can be best described as Trumpism: a toxic mix of demagoguery, mean-spiritedness and nonsense that will lead the Republican Party to perdition if pursued. That’s just the warm-up. Donald Trump is the modern-day incarnation of the know-nothing movement. He espouses nativism, not conservatism. He is negative when conservatism is inherently optimistic… But most telling to me is not Mr. Trump’s bombast, his refusal to show any remorse for his comments about Senator McCain, but his admission that there is not a single time in his life that he sought the forgiveness of God. A man too arrogant, too self-absorbed, to seek God’s forgiveness is precisely the type of leader John Adams prayed would never occupy the White House… When a candidate under the Republican banner would abandon the tradition of magnanimous leadership of the presidency, when he would seek to demonize millions of citizens, when he would stoop to attack POWs for being captured, I can only ask as Senator Welch did of Senator McCarthy, “Have you no sense of decency, sir?”… Resentment is the poison we swallow that we hope harms another. My fellow Republicans, don’t take the poison. If you want a sneak preview of how Trump will reply, here you go. One smart thing Perry’s done here that the rest of Trump’s critics in the field haven’t is that he’s committed fully to the antagonism. He’s not doing Lindsey Graham style potshots at what a “jackass” Trump is, which is easily dismissed by voters as squabbling. He’s presenting his critique as something important not just to the race but to conservatism. And now he’s going to be a guy who’s watched at the debates when he wouldn’t have been otherwise. The plotline until now was “how will Jeb Bush cope with Trump’s attacks onstage?” A new plotline is “how will Trump cope, and voters react, when Perry makes this argument to his face?” Looking forward to it. Here’s a new ad from Team Perry countering Trump’s reminder that Perry once asked for his support. The admiration apparently went both ways back in the pre-cancer-on-conservatism days. Rick Perry unloads in speech: Trump is a cancer on conservatism and I will not stay silent on his mean-spirited politics
Poster Comment:
Perry is trying to bootstrap his campaign in the early states by attacking Trump and trying to keep the daily public exchanges with Trump going. I'm not sure it can work, especially in such a large candidate field.

Rick Perry ~ Trump is a cancer
Spoken from the very man who could have stopped most of the illegal invasion of 3rd world smelly taco eating shitbags... but since Texas's number one trade partner is MEXICO, you will love them smelly turds like Bush did.
I'd be taking shit too, about Trump, if I had your record and Trump campaigns on building a wall.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح

Rick Perry unloads in speech: Trump is a cancer on conservatismWhen he first took office as governor in 2001, Perry went to Mexico and bragged about his law that granted “the children of undocumented workers” special in-state tuition at Texas colleges, the first state in the nation to do so.

I'm curious as to what Rick Perry knows about Conservatism other than it's a word in the dictionary?
“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.â€

Rick, if the stove is to hot, time for you to get out of the kitchen.

In an article, Perry can make his three points against Trump. But in the debate, will it be "Well, there's (1) …, and (2) and…for 3,,,I go nothin'"?

Well, the first GOP debate will have 10 candidates.
Perry is caught in a six-way tie for 10th place.
So this explains a lot about why Perry is going all out to keep a spat with Teh Donald going. Perry wants to climb into that first debate on Trump's back.
Perry has always been a political animal. You have to admire his savvy. But I have no idea if it will work. Perry still hasn't erased the public's recall of his flubs in the 2012 debates.

Was Perry high last time around? I read he may have had some sort of surgery or injury and was on pain meds?
In any case Trump's way of speaking is classic Queens street talk.
#7. To: Pericles (#6)
Yes Perry was on pain killers after back surgery .
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

That must have accounted for how goofy and airheaded he seemed. He looked high to me a few times.
#9. To: Pericles (#8)
yes ,this time you will see a much better candidate ;and unlike Trump ;he has actually dealt with the migration issues through his state .

I don't get why he had to run the first time around - especially because he was copying Bush mannerisms - and Bush was poison. He looked like a Bush clone.

LOL, yeah the way that Rick Perry has "dealt with the migration issues" in Texas was to pass a DREAM act giving instate tuition to the Mexican invaders and to stage a few photo ops at the border.
Rick Perry said that people who oppose rewarding illegal alien scum with taxpayer funded goodies are "heartless". He has consistently sided with the Mexican invaders against the American people.
And really, it isn't any surprise. He isn't a conservative, he's a traitor to this nation. He's one of the enemy within the gates. He isn't at all a conservative, in 1988 he was a Democrat campaign manager for Al Gore.
