And of the key MSM's tactic is to turn conservatives against Perry, claiming he is not "conservative enough", to knock him out in the primary.

Their other tactic is to claim Perry is too extreme, to turn independents against him, in case they are not successful in knocking him out in the primary.

How about this, from the op-ed:

So expect lots of name calling. That may not work either. The “Texas cowboy” frightens Eastern liberals, but other Americans may find Gov. Perry’s decisiveness a refreshing change from the wuss in the White House who’s been described — cruelly but accurately — by New Hampshire’s Manchester Union Leader as “the Last Responder.”

Isn’t Mark McKinnon a lefty?

That is the whole problem with the GOP, they stand up for people like Scozzafava while slamming conservatives like Palin.

Perry is handling the heat about 100x better than Sarah did in 2008/2009. Sarah folded up like a cheap rug when they came after her.

Perry is a moderate. Sarah is a conservative.

Perry hasn’t even started taking the flak that Sarah has survived and thrived though.

The good thing is that since we already see everytyhing the liberal media has to throw out there, the constant echo chamber of the impotent shills here realy has no effect. If they wanted to actually help their candidate, they’d be finding positive articles to post instead of embarrassing themselves regurgitating DUmmy talking points.

Forget the Democrats or the MSM, all they need to do is read this forum to get all the hateful rhetoric against Perry they will ever need.

This is a disgrace and an embarrassment to hear these people call them selves Conservatives. They aid the enemy and contribute to our own defeat. Simply because they think they have a candidate who will rise above their narrow view of the real world. And sadly, their candidate will most likely not join the race and has even make that subliminally clear. Yet they refuse to believe it and completely ignore it.

Palin endorsed Perry for governor and called him a “true conservative”.

Was she lying?

He is a crony capitalist pay to play politician. He has sold out before to corporate interests. He likes to spend tax dollars as corporate welfare, his own mini-”stimulus”. He is in favor of illegal aliens and against a border wall.

He is not strong on property rights (TTC would have displaced a million Americans from their homes and businesses, like something out of China)

He is not a conservative. He is a gummie politician with no set ideology.

It is worst that people who are conservative would whitewash so much about Perry. No more Bushes or McLames.
