GOP Rivals Target Perry in Debate Criticism

Republican presidential contender Michele Bachmann said Thursday that social conservatives don't have to settle for a nominee who does not share their values, and rival Mitt Romney said the party should nominate someone from the private sector – double-team criticism of front-runner Rick Perry.

Romney and Bachmann opened a forum on faith and freedom ahead of Thursday night's televised GOP debate with sharp criticism of their chief rival. Other competitors were following at the event tailored to the religious voters who are a key part of the party's base of support.

Bachmann said 2012 is a time for the GOP to nominate someone "who is a true social conservative." She didn't mention her rivals by name, but she has criticized Perry's positions on illegal immigration and mandated vaccinations.

    I suspect that Rick Perry consumed a large breakfast this morning. He was bound to be very hungry, since Mitt Romney ATE HIS LUNCH in last night's debate.

    There are too many contenders in the race, and each has some baggage or positions that could ruin their chances. I am still waiting for a statesman, not a politician, to run for president. We are in such a mess as a country, we need someone who is very astute, a Daniel, or a Joseph, a person, most of all, who fears God and walks in faith.

    Michele Bachmann is a nice woman, but she is barking up the wrong tree. Romney who lives in a glass house should not be throwing stones at Rick Perry. Considering Gardisil, Perry stood in front of the people of the usa and said he made a mistake when he mandated gardisil. The mandate was over Ruled bt the Texas Senate, and no one in Texas received a shot under the mandate. Although Rick Perry Has a Heart the size of Texas, he needs to rethink his position on free college tuition for Illegal Aliens. The Border Fence that will run from Texas to California would cost Billions and would do very little to stop illegals from either Tunneling, or using ladders to get by the fence, using cameras and the national guard is the best way to monitor the Border. Im still a Rick Perry Fan, and he still has my vote.
