He appears to have done his homework on this, but not having examined the raw data ourselves we can’t expressly vouch for his calculations. However, he seems more than willing to defend his work if and when it is challenged. Read his entire post and see what you think.

There have been a host of other issues including the Gardasil executive order, the death penalty, education, immigration, the Trans-Texas corridor, secession, the relative weakness of the governor’s office, his past support for Al Gore, his sexual orientation, his relationship with Muslim-Americans and accusations that he is a member of the Bilderberg cabal.

That’s a whole lot of stuff to try to address in a single post, yet Garnet92 over at Pesky Truth does an amazing job of not only providing the background for eighteen (18!) different lines of attack, but providing sources to support his responses to each. Do yourself a favor and bookmark his post for future reference.

Is any candidate going to be “perfect”? Of course not. Voters have to weigh the entirety of information available to them about all the candidates. They then have to decide for themselves not only who is the best available fit for their preferred policies, but who they believe is most likely to be able to win in November 2012 and get a chance to actually turn those policies into law.

Is it Rick Perry? Is it Mitt Romney? Could it even be someone who hasn’t declared yet? No one can say for sure right now, but as we’ve said before: the more information we have about the pros and cons of each candidate, the better informed and higher quality that decision will be.

To borrow a phrase from Fox News: “We report, you decide.”
