Just because you say Rick Perry is conservative doesn't make it so either. His affection for open borders and crony capitalism alone disqualify him from wearing that label.

Herman Cain is solidly conservative on both issues.

I think Rick is a nice enough fellow, but I've seen the same governing style in our last president from Texas. We'll get nice rhetoric out of him, probably good supreme court picks, but little or no border enforcement or fiscal restraint.

Since Cain's position on issues is fluid, at best--I can't say how conservative he is or isn't. He has no record to judge.

As far as Perry on immigration, I believe his record has been greatly distorted here. The fact is, he is realistic and honest about it.

He is not telling people he will build a fence just because that is what they think is best, while he had a military report done that clearly advises otherwise.

I am all for capitalism. You want to call knowing how to attract business and how to play the game cronyism, then so be it.

Cain's success as a CEO puts him in the crony capitalism category. IMHO, it is lack of depth/record, seriousness, and consistency on the issues that is cause for greatest concern.

All I have to say on W. is thank God he was president on 9-11 instead of Obama.
