I like Perry because of his stand on life and family issues. He really understands that life begins at fertilization and believes that the family is the basic unit of society. He pushed for parental notification, the Woman’s Right to Know Act and for stricter ID for the guardian of minors seeking abortion. Even the Gardasil Executive Order included instructions to make it easier on parents who wanted to opt out of mandatory vaccines.
That being said, Medina has no record of working for legislation in Austin, sued the Republican Party of Texas for following the rules we voted on in our Convention, plays the race card based on her husband’s family, and hangs out with Alex Jones and Libertarians. Even before her implosion on Beck, she didn’t look like a Republican to me, and had already stated that she wouldn’t back either of the other candidates if she lost. We have no evidence that she can achieve any of her agenda, because she has never worked any legislation through Austin and has only served as a spoiler for the RPT in the past.
She’s a RINO of a different sort then?
Perry seems to be responding to the public outrage, which is good. At least his political insticts are telling him to move to the right.
I can understand people being embarrassed by how she is portrayed as a truther, even if she has good solid pro life, pro 2A, pro 10th, etc.
And they seem to prefer a candidate with sorta acceptable positions and a RINO track record to someone who might embarrass them.
It seems that the opinion is that they want someone who isn’t establishment but is still part of the establishement, i.e., experienced; not a conventional mainstream politician, but not someone far from the mainstream. Different, but not really different?
I think different scares people.
