Nice try, but there is nothing in Perry’s resume’ to suggest that he is anything but a political opportunist. His core values were those of the liberal democrat party (not a more conservative Kennedyesque democrat party) until he saw that the political future in Texas was not Yarborough liberalism but Republican conservatism.
His stand on amnesty indicates that he has not had a true conversion, but is just trying to please voting constituencies, like in Texas the service industry and the hispanic vote.
He can drop the jobs created line too. Governments do not create jobs - they can only destroy them. Left alone the American people and economy will create wealth and prosperity. That is why Reagan was so successful - he didn’t create government programs - he got government out of the way.
Nothing other than his record, which is about 90% conservative.
He can drop the jobs created line too.
Given that Texas has created half the jobs in the nation since Obama took office, I don't that will happen. And, it is the pro-business policies of Perry and the state of Texas that created those jobs. Denying all that makes you as irrational as a slug at the Daily Kos.
