No, a "talking point" is a stupid canned statement such as "Gore was a old fashioned pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-tobacco conservative Democrat who wasn't into global warming when Perry endorsed him" -- such freepers then cite a description of Gore '88 from Communist News Network as their "source" and ignore the mountains of evidence from his ACTUAL speeches and votes at the time proving beyond a doubt that Gore had a solidly liberal record when Perry endorsed him.

Seeing Perry as eerily similar to Bush isn't a "talking point", it's a simple observation people can make by simply watching videos of the two of them speaking to voters and comparing Bush's 2000 platform to Perry 2012. I don't need to have a scripted statement claiming they're alike, all I need is people to check out the candidates for themselves. Anyone who isn't blind, deaf or dumb will pick up on close similarities between the two.

Ironically, rebuttals to this are "talking points" as well... insisting they're not alike by claiming "the Bush clan hates Perry" (even though Perry himself denies this and says they get along great), and claiming there's "huge differences" simply because Perry "didn't attend an ivy-league school"

I agree to a point, though I think they're delivery is quite different. Peryy's more a bull in a china closet who has to keep his temper under control...it can fire on a dime with barely a nudge. Where Bush appears to be more even tempered though known to have his days of rage as well. But yes...they do seem to be much similar.

You were a big-time supporter of Tommy Thompson in 2008, and yet you lecture others about supporting RINOs? That’s rich.

To people who are familiar with both over years of exposure, know you don't know what you're talking about...a fact, not a talking point.
