Thank you for clarifying.
I do often make my criticisms of Perry somewhat indirect, because whatever I think of him as a candidate has nothing to do with the ideas I am supporting (or inclined to support), for example, in the 999 plan.
Even so, I think you’ll agree that what some may perceive as “backhanded swipes” at Perry (or any other candidate) is not the same as saying Perry (or any other candidate’s) supporters are stupid, ill-informed, etc. We just disagree on how the Perry candidacy is playing out.
So I see that as consistent, not counter, to my advice. The main thing I’d like to see is people not taking “swipes at their candidate” as insults personal to them or their intelligence! And also I’d like to see people go ahead and take their shots at a candidate without feeling the need to add on an actual personal insult of that candidate’s supporters!
Thanks. I appreciate the convo.
My pleasure. As long as the focus is on defeating Romney and Obama, we will both be on the right track.
