Actually I’m more amused by the desperate attacks on the messenger but nothing that proves the message to be false.

Yep. It's pretty hard to miss the dearth of any counter arguments or debunking data, thus far on the thread.

Fact One: Perry has a less than stellar record on issues that conservatives care about.

Fact Two: Bringing his less than conservative record to light, or attempting to discuss it, brings forth howls of anger and protest from some of his supporters.

Fact Three: That reaction isn't drawing any new supporters to Perry's camp.

I'm not saying that Perry's shortcomings are even necessarily final deal-breakers for most conservatives, but those shortcomings ought to be confronted calmly and intelligently, so that our side completely understands who we may be getting as a potential nominee.

I’m reaching the sad conclusion that most “conservatives” talk a big game about wanting to clean up government but talk is a lot cheaper than action.

I finally get acknowledgement about the AIG chief hosting a fundraiser for Perry and then an explanation that everybody does it so its not worth worrying about. (but they sure as heck worried about money AIG gave to Obama, McCain, Romney and others)

Hate to say it but the destruction of America won’t only be on the heads of liberals. All I can do is look out for my own soul and I will face my maker knowing that I at least tried to save America and played no further role in her destruction.
