However, Perry’s controversial statements – about Texas secession, the unconstitutionality of Social Security, his refusal to acknowledge climate change, his comparing homosexuality to alcoholism, his doubts about evolution and his questioning of President Barack Obama’s patriotism — may have already inflicted grave damage and, perhaps, destroyed his chance to become president.

It's the Politico - who expects facts from them? I challenge them to find an official quote where he said Texas should secede, or to find out where the constituipn allows for Social Security.

The other allegations are plusses for him - homosexuality and alcoholism are abnormalities and even if the 'condition" cannot be changed, the ACTIONS can be. I know homosexuals who opted to not practice the activities due to their own religious beliefs. I am a recovered alcoholic (always an alky, but not suffering from active drinking). Global warming is a fabrication that we cannot cause and could not stop if it were happening. As far as "having doubts" about evolution, what's wrong with that? Evolution is a theory, not a Law than can be absolutely proven any more than creationism can be disproven. Perry never said it's bunk, he just expressed doubts - a rational and healthy state of mind.

Your post is spot on. I believe the naysayers about Perry are simply trolls with their bag of talking points that have been passed from one blog to the next by many with little mind to intellectually explore what is being said. As Ann Coulter said in her book Demonic, they operate like a lower mind-state pack.

When Perry compared homosexuality to alcoholism, and said that scientists drum up phony climate change data to make a buck, I reached for my check book and sent him a nice campaign contribution. This told me he knows the name of the game with politicians and grant money.

When you ask a homo how many sexual contacts they have in a week, that tells you that there is a certain amount of addiction involved in the lifestyle.
