Perry used to be a ‘Rat years ago. He still has ‘Rat inclinations. He’s tried to sell out Texas farmers to Spanish business interests for a toll road from Mexico.
But on the whole, he’s more of a conservative and libetarian than most of them currently in the race, the sane ones, anyway. AND, he is able to use the word “Secession” in a sentence describing what States can do if oppressed by the federal government.
He does have charisma, too. If it came down to a choice between him and Cain, I would have to really think about it. With most of the rest of them, it would be Perry, no hesitation. Rick Santorum would be the only other real hesitation for me. He’s the man who should be president, IMO, I just don’t know if he has the charisma to get it done.
