Perry’s a good Republican. He’s only a conservative when he’s running for office. That is the sad state of Perry running.

I’ll support a conservative first and hold my nose and vote for Perry only if I have to do so. Wouldn’t be the first time. Or second. Or third.

Read post #11. Perry’s a strong conservative.

I've never held my nose voting for Perry...I did for McRino and Cornyn...but not Perry. You are right Perry is conservative on a lot of issues and on others he is a moderate. I think if you have a list of 30 questions you'd see mostly a split...but I've always considered Perry a moderate.

We need the right person who can beat Obama...I believe it is Perry. I don't won't voters sitting home and not voting for a candidate and that'd happen with Sarah Palin. She is disliked that much by a majority of voters and nothing will change that.

Since you are from Texas and have lived under Perry's governorship, your opinion as to his conservative credentials holds weight with me. Texans should best know whether Perry is a real conservative when his actions aren't under scrutiny or whether he is a CINO and just hides behind the credentials for political expediency. I say that as your neighbor who has been trying to open FReepers eyes about our once aspiring governor-wanna-be-president Huckster who tried to convince folks his record was conservative too.

I wish more Texans would speak up and say what they think of Perry, before we let his bus get to rolling too fast and we find out we've locked ourselves in having to support another GOP candidate that's really been chosen by the high up GOP string pullers.
