At one point does one advocate for enough liberal causes before you will admit he is not a conservative?

I am not seeking a perfect candidate, just a conservative one and RINO Rick is far from being conservative.

Why do you Perry apologists think calling Perry out for his liberal leanings is an attack? It's part of his record as governor of the state of Texas. You may think we should overlook his past but his past is exactly what we should all use to form our opinions.

It's very simple, really. Perry has things in his past that I and many are just not willing to overlook. Perry apologists are willing and do. It gets no deeper than that.

Now that you mentioned “Appologists”.......

So you jump a Perry thread but you rarely see Perry supporters jumping Palin threads decrying her support of a windfall profit tax on oil companies which is very left wing, or her state receiving $1.80 in federal welfare for every dollar it sends in. Perry;s Texas gets .94 back on each dollar.

Palin is no where near Perry in executive experience when you live in an insulated state so far removed from almost any actual American problem. The state is smaller than about a quarter the size of Houston population wise, taxes oil companies for revenue and receives the 3rd most federal welfare of any state.

Alaska has no income tax or sales tax. How on earth does that translate to Washington when your budget consists of Federal welfare and oil money? If she ever made it to DC she would have to adopt Rick Perry's Texas model. I promise Perry wont adopt the Alaska model because it's unrealistic
