I tried to read it, but when the supporting material comes from Politico and NY Times it’s hard to take it seriously.

I really much rather hear why to support Perry than a hit piece on another candidate. Trashing another GOP candidate seems to be to be saying, “Vote for my candidate because the other guy does bad stuff.” It’s, in essence, going for the default vote reminiscent of McCain, Dole, et al. It might make a good strategy for the unwashed masses, but won’t do much on FR but stir up trouble. Perhaps that’s your goal?

FourPeas—

Two things to consider:

1. Running a news operation is expensive. I don’t have the luxury to operate a newsroom the size of NYT or POLITICO. Therefore, unfortunately, we have to accept some of our news reporting at face value, from the source. And we have to judge for ourselves if parts of the story appear credible.

2. I have written pages and pages of positive stuff on Perry. This was my first ever solo negative piece I posted here that I can recall. I felt that someone needed to say it first: Cain is not qualified to be president.
