Right now I am liking Perry too! I am also aghast at the “self-proclaimed “conservative” masters” and their basic ignorance regarding the vetting process.
Check this out:
“There are times when pundits stake out positions for the right reasons, and there are times when they seem to stake out positions for the sake of attention. I’ll leave readers to judge for themselves what’s going on in some of this vitriol being hurled against Perry at the moment. I wouldn’t go as far as to throw around the “fringe” label. Vetting Perry is perfectly fine and necessary; smearing him is irresponsible.
The fact is, Perry can win. The other fact is, for us over here on the Right, Perry is in many ways the man the left thought George W. Bush was. He has a real record of success. That record is attracting positive attention from people who have been adversely slammed by Obama’s reign. Those who look for the “perfect” candidate will look forever in vain. But to the extent that some spend their time tearing down perfectly solid candidates who can defeat Obama and reverse the damage he has done, they’re inadvertently doing The Won’s bidding.”
