[CA 2007] "In what is the QUOTE OF THE WEEKEND at the California Republican Party Convention, Texas Governor Rick Perry “CALLS OUT” California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger:Wow, CW!“It’s a sad, sad state of affairs when liberals campaign like Republicans to get elected, and Republicans govern like liberals to be loved…”
Texas GOP Governor Rick Perry CALLS OUT California GOP Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
Your quote from Governor Perry identifies EXACTLY what my concern with him is, that he will be another "Schwarzenegger" -- and CAMPAIGN as a conservative, but GOVERN as a liberal.
Many of us in California allowed Arnold Schwarzenegger to convince us during the campaign that he really **was** a conservative -- because we so desperately WANTED him to be one -- in spite of the many warning signs to the contrary.
But, as it turned out, the Governator's HEART wasn't in it, and as soon as the going got rough for him as a CONSERVATIVE, he punted -- switching over to more "popular" LIBERAL policies, so that he would stay loved.
Once bitten, twice shy.
My gut tells me that Sarah Palin's conservative principles are rock solid, and unchangeable.
I do not (yet) have that same confidence with Rick Perry.
Always remember whenever someone tells you that sending people to Mexico is inhumane we have millions of Americans who actually go down there at their own expense to have fun, or to vacation.
