Rick Perry is Tea Party's Dream Candidate?

The New York Times posted an OP-ED piece explaining how Tea Party supporters should be supporting Rick Perry.


The piece itself covers a few things. The first giving credit to the media for bouncing the public focus of the GOP field from candidate to candidate. He admittedly says this, but then backs this up using media driven statistics and an unnamed GOP operative from Texas. If I wanted to cherry pick polls for statistical proof, I could run headlines that Ron Paul is the clear front runner, but we know that that is not what the MSM wants us to hear.

Next, Rick Perry as the Tea Party front runner? The author is neglecting the candidate who started it all and represents the very issues that the Tea Party is concerned. He cites one book authored by Mr. Perry, but none of the many books authored by Paul. To this article's author's credit, maybe he's only read one book in his lifetime.
