The biggest mischaracterization of Perry's position has been on immigration. The fact that he has more confidence in putting "boots on the ground" along the border, instead of relying on a fence that can be climbed over or tunneled under where there is no one around, is a logistical judgment, not a question of being against border control.
Texas Rangers already have been put along the border to guard the places where the federal government has failed to guard it. Former Sen. Rick Santorum's sound-bite attempts to paint Perry as soft on border control have apparently been politically successful, judging by polls.
But his repeated interrupting of Perry's presentation of his case during the recent debate is the kind of cheap political trick that contributes nothing to public understanding and much to public misunderstanding.
I have far more questions about those who would blow this error up into something that it is not. Error-free leaders don't exist — and we don't want to end up settling for a warm body.
Ultimately, this is not about Perry. It is about a process that can destroy any potential leader, even when the country needs a new leader with a character that the "gotcha" attackers demonstrate they do not have.

That is exactly Perry's stance!
Nope, you are assuming and that makes an ass of you.
BTW, Obama and the EPA are on track to shut down 20% of our coal fired electric plants next year.
Do you know who is suing them?
Rick Perry and Gregg Abbott.
I honestly believe that Perry knows who the players like Lisa Jackson and the other czars are.
He already has them under pressure.
I expect he will clean house.
Jackson gone, Holder gone.....
Good night sweet prince!
You can’t imagine anything you don’t want to see, but he refused the questionaire, just like Obama.
Palin is the only candidate that is strong on guns; Perry is obviously hiding something. John Kerry pops into mind when I see Perry.
Perry is weak on the gun issues.
His rejection of National Gun Rights’ questionaire is a huge red flag.
The only right we don’t have in Texas is the right to open carry pistols.
It’s kinda rooted in the Texas constitution, it has nothing to do with Rick Perry.
Perry is very pro 2nd amendment.
You are disingenuous if you think Perry is anti 2nd amendment.
Can you name another candidate that openly promotes CHL?
Or state reciprocity for CHL?
Perry led the nation on the Castle Law.
>> “Clarity is trolling by posting sourced comments?” <<
.
Clarity is lying as usual.
Twisting the intended meaning of a comment, and ignoring the true context of McCain’s campaign and their positions that Palin was honor bound to support.
Are you also a liar like Clarity?
Why did he refuse the questionaire?
What is your general opinion of others that have refused the questionaire?
As opposed to the Perry campaign refusing to pick up this particular obscure piece of mail from the Post Office, has Perry done anything in Texas to undermine the 2nd Amendment?
You’ve seriously got to be joking.
Maybe he had more important stuff to do than take the questionnaire.
Stuff like passing CHL in Texas and passing the Castle law.
>> “He has been defining the debate since he brought up SS in the first debate” <<
.
In his limited cognition he may think so, but all he has done is give the Mediots a stack of powerful sound bytes with which to destroy him if we screw up badly and let him be the nominee.
He’s dead, thank God, and it’ll be fairly smooth sailing for Palin noe that he’s out of the way.
The so-called debates are doing nothing but loading up the library with ammo to help Obama.
Childish BS and you know it.
Has his introduction of the MHC curriculum (indoctrination) into Texas schools been misinterpreted too?
Last I looked he was still in second place, and Cain (as much as I like him) has received NO Vetting.
