I’ve watched Perry for the six years I’ve lived in Texas. I’ve even voted for him twice in that time, but only because he stank a lot less than his competitors.
In my observation, he’s a center-right Moderate. All of the tough conservative talk out of him is reserved for election time. Once he gets elected, it’s back to being the professional politician’s politician.
We could do a whole lot worse than Perry, but he will not be the sort of president this country is in desperate need of right now. We need a fighter, a crusader, a bare-knuckled reformer, who will set this country back on its Constitutional, small government, individual freedom track.
Perry will give lip service to all of that, but none of it will happen on his watch.
Excellent post, telling the truth.
“We could do a whole lot worse than Perry”
Bumper sticker?
When did you live in Texas, Winifred?
Then who is the man? Cain...?
Perry will give lip service to all of that, but none of it will happen on his watch.
I've said that I'm a broken glass republican. I held my nose and voted for McCain (Palin helped ease the pain), but I just don't know if I can do it again.
” Perry will give lip service to all of that, but none of it will happen on his watch. “
Hmmm....we agree on this, and you eloquently highlighted the right reasons too.
