Messups seem to count with other candidates.......!

Perry has never lost an election. He served six years in the Texas Legislature, then became Texas agriculture commissioner. He served as lieutenant governor for one year under Gov. George W. Bush, then ascended to the governorship after Bush became president. Perry has since won election as governor in his own right two more times.

Do you not think he has been vetted by now? They will continue to throw the same things at him that is being done here on the forum.

I don’t for a minute believe Perry will ‘fade’ and I’m long past the ‘blame Bush’ stuff.

Have a nice evening.

How many people outside of Texas know anything about who is in our legislature or who is our agriculture commissioner or who our Lt Gov is or know that Perry was the lesser of two evils both times he ran for governor?

I'm talking national vetting.

Yes indeed. And conservatives aren't going to like what they find out about him. Open borders, Dream Act, multinational health care, Mexican trucks taking American jobs, the Guardisal executive order, replacing a conservative on the Supreme Court with a moderate, etc, are not going to play well in most of the country. And most of the country hasn't heard these things yet.

So you can believe his record doesn't matter because he won some state elections, but I doubt that you are right.
