Perry was a conservative Democrat, when he switched to Republican over 20 years ago. He believes in states rights, marriage is between a man and woman, and other conservative view points. He has butted heads with Obama several times about TX, especially the EPA. People should not compare him to President Bush. They are nothing alike personally. Perry can beat Obama, but I am not sure that any of the other candidates can. Perry has a resume, Obama has a teleprompter.
Ya ya ya.. Perry is this.. Perry is that.
I need someone who will SHUT DOWN THE BOARDERS! NOW!
Perry won’t.
NEXT!
You got the talking points down, n00b. Of course you also failed to mention “Conservative” Perry endorsing deranged moonbat Gore for President and Giuliani in 2008. If Perry had been a FReeper, he’d have been ZOT’ted. If you’d been here then, you’d know that.
Oh, PUH-LEEZE. Yep, Perry was such a conservative Democrat he endorsed DUKAKIS and GORE...and as a Republican, endorsed GIULIANI. Yeah, ol’ Rick the recovering Democrat is practically John Birch himself resurrected, he’s so conservative. /sarc
And as to his electability, well, why would anyone care if Perry can beat Obama if he’s just going to be another Dubai-portin’ border-opening Assistant Democrat? Based upon his record in Texas, where he has shown ZERO leadership in shrinking government, or devolving power to the local level, or even asking the feds to do their jobs at the border, he will be nothing but another staunch unitary government fan if he is elected to federal office. He’s only butted heads with Obama when it suited him to do so politically—he sure hasn’t put up any border fences or acted to compel Texas law enforcement to inquire about immigration status.
Yeah, Perry has a resume, and if anyone actually reads it, it’d be obvious Perry isn’t the man for the Presidency. Hell, he probably wouldn’t even be GOVERNOR now if Debra Medina hadn’t stumbled over the truther issue back in the last primary. Heck, so-called genius campaigner Perry had to have a three-way race to keep himself in the picture against a lefty fool like Bill White—IN TEXAS!
What does it take to shut you shills up? Actions speak louder than words! The man is only a conservative when it serves his purpose—in this case, when an election is near.
