Dear Governor Perry

Just as the title, Perry cements his reputation as a powerful governor, implies; this article discusses Governor Rick Perry’s sense of entitlement. Having been governor longer than any other governor in the state of Texas, it is clearly known that he is a strong conservative.

As strong of a conservative that Perry is, the author of this article is just as strong to let everyone know how conservative Perry is. The author’s opinion is laid out thick. The overall impression received from this article is that Perry is a power hungry politician. The article does have quite an influence though since quotes from Republican politicians were frequently used.  These quotes which attack Governor Perry do support the author’s stance.

Though this author did not give Perry a break, many legitimate topics were brought up. Perry’s affiliation with the Tea Party and the state budget were discussed. Perry’s strong influence over the Texas House and Tea Party were discussed also. Though at times the author’s thoughts were not always clear, the message the author wanted to send was strong. 
  

 I would have liked to have read more facts about why the author has this particular stance. The article became repetitive. So instead of reading repeating opinions, reading more examples of why Perry seems to be so powerful would have made this article seem more reliable. And, if the author had mentioned some stances that coincides with Perry’s stances, the author’s overall opinion of Perry would have been that more powerful and influential. 

The author’s views and opinions were fine. But the critique was to the author’s deliverance of the information. A strong attack will not display a strong article. I would rather the author hold back on the emotion and present a more factual based article. Instead of using quotes from politicians or political scientists, the author should use more concrete facts to support the article.
