This entire thread is disingenuous. Nowhere in it did Rick Perry write a letter urging the passing of TARP.
This entire thread was pretty much a waste. The substance was dealt with so quickly that it devolved into a shouting match of which I somehow managed to be a central part, and then it was just a dumping ground for anything people could think of to attack Perry with.
If articles were really being posted so we could discuss what is in them, and determine the truth, then we would work very hard to keep each article’s thread focused on the article.
When people just start throwing in accusations, it becomes clear that they don’t want to discuss things, they just want to attack. No rational discussion can take place when a thread has 5 different things to discuss.
Since this was a new topic (kind of — the video was new, the letter we dealt with a while ago), it had to be discussed. But that was done long ago in this thread.
