Your post makes perfect sense to me. I’m just not gettin’ this whole anti-Perry thing. People here treat him worse than they treat obama. They guy governed the most conservative sate in the country for a decade for heaven’s sake.

Yes, he has governed the most conservative state in the nation...but as a MODERATE, and border-line liberal when it comes to immigration. That’s why we’re so mad at him...I’ve been here in Texas and he hasn’t lifted a finger on immigration (i.e., E-Verify, Sanctuary Cities, and lots more)...and has just made things worse (Dream Act).

If we had a conservative as governor, Alabama and Arizona wouldn’t be running circles around us when it comes to dealing with illegals. What has gotten us angry is that people from elsewhere in the country automatically assume that since he’s governor of Texas, and a Republican, then he MUST be conservative. Not true in our case.

Doesn't seem to matter. Some folks do take honest exception to Perry's immigration record but see him as a legit candidate. Otherwise, you have those who ignore the facts, those who enjoy being obstinate; and those who see Perry as a threat to their own candidate. The heat Perry is taking does seem excessive and at times highly irrational.
