Perry is not a real conservative. So far his poll numbers keep drooping.
It is all self inflicted. The reason for it is that he is another compassionate conservative in the Bush vein. He sure isn’t what I am looking for. In fact, I know of nobody who mentions him.
He has a lot of baggage and looks as though he has no problem climbing into the sack with special interests.
He has no way to the top. He chopped off his own chances in the first two debates. All he has is money, but money can’t buy you love. Those were fatal mistakes. Any attempt to walk them back will not be seen as genuine.
“All he has is money, but money can’t buy you love”
If the liberal Romney gets the nomination, indeed money has bought love.
I differ with you on Perry not being real conservative. Other than the tuition for kids of illegals in Texas, which overwhelmingly passed the Texas legislature (It was not exactly an executive order from Perry), he has governed as a conservative should govern. He is a States rights governor. Pro-2nd amendment, pro-life, marriage between one man, one woman. He has never flip-flopped all over the map like Romney on these social issues. And Texans have put him in office three times as their governor. There is absolutely no comparision in his conservative record as gov of Texas and that of the liberal Romney when he bankrupted his state with RomneyCare. Romney was a dismal failure as governor. And if you can remember how bad George W. Bush was in every debate he ever had in his life, you wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss Perry’s chances. It’s the media that is trying to destroy Perry, while at the same time pimping for Romney and Cain, who will lose to Obama. That’s why the liberals tell you how great Romney and Cain do in the debates. Cain hardly says anything of substance, and Romney is an arrogant blowhard. But sure as the sun coming up the next day the media will tell you they did the best in the debates. Gingrich “won” that last debate, but to hear the media, he didn’t participate.
