Friedman is NOT a conservative.
Perry may be an empty suit whose most noted saving grace is his awesome hair, but at least he's the closest we get to a Republican in the whole sorry bunch.
And Liberaltarians.
I didn't say these folks are all conservative on all issues. They just typically vote for Repubs here in TX.
To many Texans the boarder issue is ALL that matters. All other issues are on a back burner.
I'm just telling you what I have been hearing. I talk to a lot of people. And a lot of big Repub donors.
Just fyi.
Perry is nto a conservative either, he is a rat with a R by his name.
