Perry criticizes Sen. Boxer and the tone of the debate

In the Politico story Perry makes a good point.

Republican Texas Gov. Rick Perry lambasted Sen. Barbara Boxer on Tuesday over her comments that Republicans are “acting like” domestic abusers by shutting down the government.

“That’s not the type of positive, intellectually engaged debate that you want to see on the Senate floor for sure,” Perry said on Fox News’s “Fox & Friends.”

“I think it’s very offensive to individuals who have worked hard across this country to stop domestic violence,” he continued.

Perry also mentioned the work of his wife, Anita, on the issue and said Boxer (D-Calif.) will most likely walk back her comments.

“My wife works for the Texas Association Against Sexual Assault. I would suggest to you that Sen. Boxer would be reeling that comment back in before the week’s up,” Perry said.

I doubt she has the intellectual integrity to comprehend her own insults.  But it is a reflection of the Democrats style of argument over the funding of Obamacare and spending in general.  If you disagree with them, you are a terrorist according to the President and a domestic abuser according to Boxer.  This inability to craft a reasoned argument for their point of view shows just how shallow their thinking is on the subject.
