I never said that Perry is a RINO. That is a term I do not use, as what is defined as a RINO actually IS the Republican establishment, and has been for at least a century.

That said, while I agree with you that Perry has the electoral potential against Obama that Reagan had against Carter, I do not put them in the same weight class as conservatives at all. I do not see the same depth or ability or passion. I would be delighted to be proven wrong about his potential, but it will be Perry’s deeds that persuade me. Not recommendations.

What you said is very understandable. I was not saying that you were calling him a RINO though. I meant that in a broad sense.

I have been learning about Perry very intensely lately. Believe me, he is every bit as much passion as Reagan did. The difference is that Reagan was such an unusual orator and his whole persona was one in a Billion.

But Perry is also very much a great and dedicated Conservative, minus the “Compassionate” rhetoric.

I think Perry would be another person that will pick good SCOTUS candidates for us like Bush did since I think he would know how to avoid another person that votes the wrong way surprisingly.

I am 90 percent sure that a liberal on the court will either die or retire during the next president’s term, whomever that is.

It’s going to happen. I do not want Obama picking that replacement.

Pretty soon, we will need to replace conservatives as well.

That is why we must take over the Senate as well.
