The bashing on Perry threads is definitely a two-edged sword. Raising legitimate questions gets one attacked for supposed “bashing” by supporters.
Unfortunately, this seems to be all too common amongst the various factions. They cannot persuade, so they resort to name calling.
For the record, Perry is acceptable in my book, but he is not the top of my list right now. I have my eye on Cain.
Romney is not acceptable.
(And everyone can spare me the “better quality crap sandwwich speech” about Romney. My minimum standards aren’t that high, and he isn’t even close.)
