By “Ideologues” is meant “conservatives”. Thanks shield.

Rick Perry is a great governor with great ideas. I once supported him, but I fear that as the nominee, he’ll lose.

Perry is the classic example of what I feel is wrong with the GOP in general: They’re horrible salesmen.

Perry can’t SELL himself, that’s the problem. He’s NOT stupid, by any means, but comes across as a bumbling fool to the non-conservative voting populace. I don’t know if he has the ability to overcome that.

I do not subscribe to your negatives.

Perry’s conservatism and his record are stellar.

And why, when challenged in the 2010 Texas Primary by the Bush-Rove-Hutchison money-muscle establishment machine — Perry came from 20 pts back and rolled to victory 20 pts ahead.

But thanks for your opinion. Everyone has one.
