The early Bush years were during 911 and before he had revealed himself to be a RINO of Rick Perry proportions. :-P
Most of the country was united behind him then.
But yes, unity would be nice. I can't see it happening though as many, myself included, will never accept Perry for anything but what we already think/know he is. But we can at least try to be more civil in our discourse as we conservatives attempt to open your eyes. :-)
Cheers.
If I change my mind about Perry, it will be by his doing alone, not by listening to other misguided opinions. (Take no offense by that.) I come from Military cloth, and Rick Perry, very much belongs to my strong band of Brothers. He served, still serves, and is a man of high honor in my opinion.
