Before you speak please research. Reagan was also a former democrat; he reached across the aisle, he had moderate magic with values of a conservative.I am not cheerleading Perry necessarily but I am sick to death of people on this forum bashing Bachmann,Perry and screaming RINO former democrat; ONLY to promote someone that is not even running.If one person calls Cain a RINO and says Sarah is running blah blah I will call each and every post out!If Perry is so RINO why did Palin endorse him? He can’t be that bad or worse than McDemocrat or Romney!I prefer Cain or Bachmann West-I WISH over Perry but you can bet your sweet patootie ABO will be voted for.We can’t change the ponzi scheme rat fest and republican sell outs over night. Imagine Obama four more years! It ain’t going to happen.
Three reasons I can think of:
1. His opponents were worse.
2. If you are eying a future in national politics favors given now pay big later.
3. She didn't always make good endorsements.
I think we'd all pretty much agree on the first one. The second one is trying to read someones intent, and even though several FReepers believe themselves fully capable of that I won't try it. The third contradicts the first, so it's just thrown in as a fact, not necessarily germane to this situation.
