It is fortunate for us that nobody elected you spokesperson for the Tea Party. Or apparently the keeper of facts.

For example: The TP does not agree with Perry on his opposition to the border fence.

Perry does not oppos a border fence, He is a strong proponent of border security, including fences wherever they will be helpful, and not just a waste of money. NumbersUsa rated Perry good on border security. He's actually taken ACTION on border security.

Or this:

The TP does not agree with Perry on his opposition to Arizona trying to defend itself from the ILLEGAL hordes that he wants to make citizens.

Perry does not oppose Arizona defending itself. IN fact, he strongly supports them, and had his AG file a brief supporting Arizona in court. He didn't want to copy the Arizona law in TEXAS.

If you can't defend your own candidate, and I know that is especially hard after tonight's debate, as Cain has pretty much conceded he is a neophyte on foreign policy, you could at least try to find factual stuff to attack Perry for. He did a few bad things you could cite.

Operative word being "did", because he actually has a record. It's probably easier for you supporting a candidate who never did anything, because that way he has no record you have to pretend doesn't exist.

“The fact is, it’s 1,200 miles from Brownsville to El Paso. Two things: How long you think it would take to build that? And then if you build a 30-foot wall from El Paso to Brownsville, the 35-foot ladder business gets real good.”

Associated Press
MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry says he opposes a fence along the U.S. border with Mexico.
Speaking to hundreds of New Hampshire voters at a private reception Saturday afternoon, the Texas governor says a fence would be ineffective and take too long to build.

And the only reason Perry said that the Az law was not correct for Texas was that he recognized some of the legal issues Az law would face.
For instance, Perry made it illegal to “prevent” law enforcement from asking for peoples legal status.
It is law, in Texas.

Brewer attempted to “mandate” that law enforcement ask for legal status, and that was immediately challenged in court.

Perry also recognized the problem of fencing the border.
How is Brewer ever going to fence the border of the Tohono O’odhan Indian Nation and Mexico?
She can’t do it. The Reservation is a sovereign nation.
