At least Newt attempted to make government more conservative—I can’t see where Perry has ever done so without simply following others’ leads.

BIG disconnect there: Newt and Nancy kissing on the couch and cuddling global warming and Newt's penchant for needing the spotlight -- because of that, the spotlight landed on his head during his roll out. Besides, he just isn't going to go the distance in a hard race. Newt has great ideas but he flits from one thing to another -- he loves ideas but wanders off, and his people have to direct his focus back to the matter at hand.

I’m not a big Newt fan, but even though I’d never vote for him for President, I can’t argue that he tried to promote smaller government after being elected, even if it was just for a brief period back in the 80s and early 90s. What’s Perry got to show for his years in office? A dead coyote, a ton of appointed cronies, favors to his corporate donors, and a bunch of talk...and I don’t know if anyone’s ever even seen the dead coyote.
