Strawman argument since I haven't seen a Perry critic on FR yet who's reason for disliking him is "I will only vote for a candidate who agrees with me 100% of the time"

We're not looking for a "perfect" candidate. All candidates have flaws. We know that. Perry's problem isn't that he's "perfect" but that he's far from ideal. It's not unreasonable for freepers to want a reliably conservative candidate with a track record of winning tough elections. Perry isn't that candidate.

And it really is ridiculous for the Perry fan club to bring up the "nobody is perfect" argument but in the same breathe claim Sarah Palin's endorsements ARE perfect and must NEVER be questioned.

I am not in the Perry fan club, nor the Palin club. I will support anyone (except cut and run) who wins the Republican nomination. I am just saying sometime Freepers expect too much. We can wish, but if we expect perfection (in our opinion) we are asking too much.
