Never seen any conservative get this hammered so quickly and so intensely.

Then you haven't bothered to watch any national elections.

Both Palin and Reagan were subject to far far worse abuse then anything Perry has faced to date

Perry has been subject to the most superficial basic scrutiny of his words and record. He has not faced the sort of nasty attack politics that both Palin and Reagan faced from the national media.

If Perry cannot handle this minor heat, he is never going to survive the much worse heat the National Democrat Campaign will direct at him in 2012.

Face it Perry is just not ready for the national political stage.

[Reagan Man]

Again, you don't know wtf you're talking about. Been following elections since 1960 and involved since 1968!

Reagan took serious and endless abuse for decades, from both sides! Palin has been subject to a steady stream of nasty attacks mostly from the left for the last 3 years. NO GOP candidate I've ever seen has ever taken this much abuse in such a short time frame following an announcement for potus. Especially not from his own side --- Republicans and so-called conservatives. Lots of half truths, falsehoods and innuendo. Cheap pot shots!

You are one of those Perry smear merchants. I hope you enjoy GOP nominee Romney because sadly, that is what you're gonna get in the end.
