Gov. Goodhair also flirts with conservativism right around election time but always fails to commit.

Well, for one Perry could pass on his Globalist, pro illegal stance, but Palin already got that from MCain ;-)

"Perry is clearly the flavor of the month among Republican insiders," ...

That's one of his biggest problems.

Karl Rove says he and consultant David Weeks persuaded Rick Perry to switch parties and run for state agriculture commissioner

Texas Gov. Rick Perry draws mention in GOP consultant Karl Rove’s autobiography with attention
focused on Perry’s win for lieutenant governor in 1998 and Rove’s role in his pivotal earlier
switch from the Democratic to Republican party while he was a third-term member of the Texas House.

Rove writes: “Rick Perry had planned to retire from the legislature until his best friend,
David Weeks, and I talked him into switching parties and running for the GOP nomination for
agriculture commissioner.” His book, “Courage and Consequence, My Life as a Conservative
in the Fight,” was published March 9.

Perry is 100% certified Bilderberg Globalist.

Palin is said to be influenced by this person, or that person, but there’s really nothing in her record at all to suggest that Palin is a Globalist at all.

5. He’s Bilderberg’s preferred candidate.

With Perry in, the grey-skinned, grey-haired duo of Pawlenty and Huntsman haven’t got a chance.
Perry did not, however, “create” any jobs here in Texas: he wisely got the hell out of the way, and, as anywhere jobs are created, the private sector did the work.
Nor is he much of a true conservative, only having been a Republican for a decade or two.

But I’d vote for him over Romney in a heartbeat.

Perry was in a all girl 80s hair metal band before he was a Democrat State Legislator and a Democrat Campaign Manager for Al Gore in Texas? Did not know that.

Well, there is the fact that her main foreign policy adviser until very recently was Randy Schueneman, a DC lobbyist who is on George Soros' payroll.

And her support for the Law of the Sea Treaty, which would give the UN taxing authority and control over about 70% of the earth's surface, and the resources that go with that.

He's been a Republican for almost 25 years and was considered a conservative legislator in the 80's when he was a Democrat.

On jobs, you make an environment friendly to job creation and let the private sector take off and Perry has done that. That's all a President can do. He is pro-life and pro-gun and anti tax and his record proves that. It's crazy to think a guy who has been those 3 things his whole political career is a Rino.

The guy has been spoken about glowingly by everyone from Palin to Michael Reagan to Rush Limbaugh.

"got the hell out of the way" is key. I sure wish more damn politicians would do that, the whole country would be better off.

Not pro-life for all. He makes exceptions.

And he supports overt pro-aborts for the highest office in the land.

Those are the facts, and so, I don’t give a rip who has spoken “glowingly” of him.
