I’m not a Perry fan but there are an awful lot of cheap shots being landed in that first line.

That’s me too. I want him to do well, but he hasn’t so far.
Having said that, he is way to the right of Obama and any major elected Democrat on jobs, taxes, regulations, education, terror and a lot of other issues.
He is somewhat to the right of all Democrats on border security. He is consistent with some Democrats on some other immigration issues, but so are a lot of Texas conservatives.
And he had an awful night last night in the debate, but there is time to recover if he has it in him to step up his game. (I don’t know if he does or not.)
Why can’t we just discuss his weaknesses in light of these realities instead of lobbing bombs about him being just like a Democrat and other horse tripe? Such vents may make the poster feel better but it does not add to the conversation nor does it engender sympathy for their particular candidate.
I've only read Riehl occasionally, but that opening paragraph causes me to lump him in with the likes of Andrew Sullivan, Ann Coulter, and the harpies that post at Huffington Post and Firedoglake. I didn't read the piece farther than the first paragraph.
