Sorry, DRey, I’ve been at this too many years to ignore the red flags. Your side is trying hard to trivialize objections that in better times would have derailed Perry without question or hesitation. Now, out of a fear of Obama, too many on our side are willing to turn a blind eye to serious defects. It is Beck’s Overton Window in operation, the Hegelian dialectic, intentionally deployed in just these circumstances to keep us tacking ever more leftward. It’s root of power is fear, combined with a manufactured urgency (aka “never waste a crisis”), only this time the “crisis” is Obama himself. I urge you and your fellow Perry backers, if you truly love your country, to set aside your fear and let your judgment be ruled by reason and courage. Choose, just this one time, a proven reformer like Palin, not one more in a long line of business as usual politicians like Perry.
