And the last thing our Republic can take is another pay-to-play, big government crony capitalist. To put Perry together with Congress would be a complete disaster.
The GOP would also be out on its keister again in no time. Deservedly, but even an earnest independent tea party effort would probably just put the Dems in power again.
I can't agree more. Perry has never shown the first sign of being the type of revolutionary reformer/outsider that this country needs in the White House. He knows how to play one on the campaign trail, but once he's back in office, it's back to big government, crony politics as usual.
At best, the man's a center-right Moderate. He's not a firebrand crusader who will take a wrecking ball to the establishment status quo in Washington. He'll fit right in with that culture.
