Team Obama Seeks Online Help To Fight Perry

Forget the Gallup poll showing Perry leading the GOP field. Proof positive that Rick Perry is strong medicine is this online form on Obama's campaign web site where malcontents are invited to complain about Rick Perry's policies as governor of Texas.

We Texans who have experienced Gov. Rick Perry's failed policies firsthand have an important story to tell the rest of the country.

Then the aggrieved Texan is presented with a text box to describe the the atrocity.

"Your feedback will help hold him accountable on the campaign trail, inspire fellow Texans to get involved, and introduce his record -- his actual record -- to voters across the country," Hector Nieto, the campaign's Texas director, told Texas supporters by email blast today. "Your words will remind him that even as he runs, he won't be able to hide -- a lesson he apparently hadn't learned as recently as last week. That's when his campaign explained that the positions he took in the book he wrote just nine months ago, like saying that Social Security is unconstitutional and `a crumbling monument to the failure of the New Deal,' no longer represent his views."But what other Americans are just starting to learn about -- and, frankly, reject -- Texans have dealt with for more than a decade. It's up to us to make sure he doesn't get to run away from the truth."

It's not just Perry's record as governor that scares the Democrats. Like Sarah Palin he is the liberal's anti-Christ. Unlike Sarah Palin, Rick Perry has been in public life years longer than Obama in a large state with an aggressive news media. There probably will not be much in his public record that has not been reported, debated, spun, and archived for future reference. There are a few issues in Perry's governorship such as the Gardasil mandate and the Trans-Texas Utility Corridor, that while contentious issues in Texas, probably wouldn't attract much more reader attention than the legal notices sections in local newspapers. It not the Perry policy that gives liberals heartburn it's the Perry persona, something they may just have to live with for eight long years.
