Perry is obviously running a progressive style campaign.
You’ll notice all the claims of lying by those opposing him but so far I’m not seeing them offering up any proof of these so called lies.
Who is running his campaign, Media Matters?

Hard to believe, but not everyone in politics wants a free lunch by Rick Perry and Mark Sanford
The Wall Street Journal
As governors and citizens, we've grown increasingly concerned over the past weeks as Washington has thrown bailout after bailout at the national economy with little to show for it.
In the process, the federal government is not only burying future generations under mountains of debt. It is also taking our country in a very dangerous direction — toward a “bailout mentality” where we look to government rather than ourselves for solutions. We're asking other governors from both sides of the political aisle to join with us in opposing further federal bailout intervention for three reasons.
...
Our Founding Fathers were clear and deliberate in setting up a system whereby the federal government would only step in for that which states cannot do themselves. An expansionist federal government of the last century has moved us light-years away from that model, but it doesn't mean that Congress can't learn from states that are coming up with solutions that work.
In Texas and South Carolina, we've focused on improving “soil conditions” for businesses by cutting taxes, reforming our legal system and our workers’ compensation system. We'd humbly suggest that Congress take a page from those playbooks by focusing on targeted tax relief paid for by cutting spending, not by borrowing.

Not recent political spin but rather what he was saying years ago.
Could be.
