Well Billboy, I’ll never change your mind on Perry. You’ve already staked your claim somewhere else. I read your signature tag line there. I get it. Does that make me an asshole?

My mind was made up before Perry announced... seen his record as Governor of TX over the past decade. I'd vote for him over Obama if that was the choice, but suffice it to say he'll never be my first choice in a GOP primary. I find it unfortunate his fans talked him into running for President and now he's helping split the conservative vote.

Generally, this has been my experience with Perry supporters:

1) Perry supporters come up with some new spin-of-the-week why Perry is such a great tea party conservative (stuff like "Al Gore was more conservative than most Republicans when Perry endorsed him")

2) I respond that latest virtue being touted about Perry is untrue.

3) Perry supporters call me a liar.

4) I post irrefutable evidence that their claim is untrue (in the aforementioned example, proof of Al Gore's far left voting record in 1988)

5) Perry supporters respond by calling me a "HATER"/"BIGOT"/"PURIST" ... (e.g. "You just HATE bible beliving Christians, don't you?! Well, nobody's PERFECT! You anti-immigrant BIGOTS never give up!)

6) Return to step #1 the next week.
