I am not a big Perry fan, but he has been governor of my state for over two terms now. Even though I disagree with aspects of his record as Governor, the premise of the article is absurd. Perry’s views are quite different from those he held 20 years ago. He isn’t a RINO. He has been inconsistently conservative, but predominantly conservative nevertheless. He has been excellent on life issues, and he has in word and deed been trending more conservative.
I support Bachmann, but much of what is being said about Perry on FR is distorted, unbalanced, and, in some cases, deranged.
t isn’t an article, just another Blog Pimp spewing out nonsense.
You say Perry has been “predominantly conservative nevertheless”. Is TX more conservative because of Perry’s leadership or is TX more conservative and has forced Perry to be “more conservative” to stay in office?
I believe it is more a factor of the later. Remove the restraint of the states conservatism, and Perry is a weak as they come.
