Perry on the Hot Seat

On the blog Mean Rachel a post titled "The Blnd Response" attacks Governor Perry's motives and accuses him of lying and taking the easy way out. This post attempts to call out Governor Rick Perry on is lack of care and effort with the true needs of the people, portaying the image that he sits in his high chair all day long and looks out for only himself, and his campaign rather than whats really the issue. The author is definitely not a Perry supporter and it's clear that this post was intended for an audience who feels the same. Considering most of the points in this post are opinion based and have no quotes or evidence, it would not be difficult for somebody who disagrees with this post to create a counterargument. Although it is easy to agree with a post such as this if you are not in favor of Perry because it is exactly what you want to read or already believe. The author constantly insults Perry's motives, calling them easy saying "What's not easy, and what requires a little more hair gel than quoting passages from Joel, is actual work" however everything the author says is without textual evidence or any quotes, therefore basing it all off his own opinions in the entire post. The logic behind their argument may be understandable and make sense, because who says that Perry truly knows what is going on with the people and that he understands what "work" people are faced with, but thats something we have no proof of. As well as having no evidence to support their argument, the post is extremely brief and does not really go into any detail on the issues it mentions. I don't necessarily disagree with argument the author makes against Governor Perry, however the support and structure of the argument is poor and a weak one.
