Perry has flaws, and his endorsing Rudy was an absurd thing for a Texas governor to do. Nevertheless, he is something of a conservative with some RINO tendencies. Currently, Perry is trending strongly to the right. He isn’t my first, second, or third choice, but he is better than Romney, Gingrich, and Pawlenty.
Perry is a globalist who has given the UAE and Saudi Arabia unfettered access to the education system in Texas, including allowing an arab sheik to build a school for Texas’s ‘poor’ children, a muslim school doncha know.
He was in favor of the TransTexas corridor and using eminent domain to take the land to build it, then let a Spanish company Cintra ‘own’ the transportation corridor and charge whatever tolls they want on the roads to ensure their profits. In addition that road would have not had any border inspection either, as a perk to Cintra and the Chinese who are building the port of entry on the Pacific Ocean.
