I don't think he talks like a conservative, he just says he is one.

In a speech in Mexico in 2007, he said he supported completely open borders, calling for the “free flow of individuals between these two countries who want to work and want to be an asset to our country and to Mexico.”

RINO to the core.

"RINO to the core"

That's why the "PRESS-titutes" will keep shoving him in our face.

Rick Perry is what the establishment Republicans want,
an ex(?)-Democrat that doesn't want to do anything about Illegal Immigration,
he issued an executive order mandating that Texas girls receive HPV vaccine,
he burdened Texans when he extending in-state tuition to children of undocumented workers,
and Perry has opposed the creation of the Mexico–United States barrier, which is meant to keep out illegal aliens.

He's NOT a Conservative. I have very mixed feelings about his candidacy. On the pro side- He's done a great job for Texas for 10 plus years, governing as a financial conservative. He has the appeal, gravitas, whatever to whip the crap out of Buckwheat, as well as the money. He CAN and WILL win the primary and the election. On the Con side- I have a close, trusted relative, whom I refuse to identify, who worked for Perry closely, and he hates him. He says that Perry has surrounded himself with thugs, just like obama. He says Perry IS JUST LIKE obama. For myself, I find Perry to be very scary, but still better than obama.

Perry’s speeches make GW Bush sound like a sissy.

But of course the Perry record doesn’t match the tough rhetoric.
