To 6 - Are Palin, Limbaugh, Levinu; Inhofe lying when they attest to Perry’s conservative bona fides? Yes or no. Because it can’t be both ways. If Perry is a “RINO” then you, and anyone else, are as good as stating that the aforementioned quartet are liars.
I am not a number, I am a free man.
Your point is valid, but here’s what I take from the misguided post...
An ad maker who worked with Pawlenty is an ad maker, he isn’t a RINO or an arch conservative or whatever...he makes ads for money. That’s how he makes his living. If he’s good, as appears to be true, it’s to Perry’s credit for hiring him.
Does the ad present Perry in RINO imagery? Absolutely not.
Therefore, the complaint is a crock.
Let them go ahead and use the RINO label over and over and over again — pretty soon the term will be rendered useless. Actually, I think it already is.
jla makes a good point. Either Rick Perry is a conservative or Sarah Palin is a liar. Which is it?

Some people have a negative personality, sometimes called a "Masochistic Personality Disorder", where defeat and loss is the only goal so they, often without reason, will tear down anything and everything no matter if it is good, bad or benign. Markers include this habit of aggressive provocative conduct - in this case, constantly sniping and deliberately antagonizing.
If you understand the symptoms and the underlying cause, then you can decide whether to ignore or enable continued antisocial behavior from them.
But by what criteria do you define conservative? They may mean that he’s the most conservative of the bunch and acceptable to a lot of people as a coalition candidate. He’s acceptable to me but I don’t carry his train.
Perry: He’ll put the adults back in charge.
