Think about this for a second...he was a democrat during the following elections, Carter against Ford and then against Reagan, then Mondale against Reagan, and then Gore (not that he won the nomination) against (Dad) Bush. I was just a kid during most of these elections but I remember them quite clearly and I can't imagine being a democrat during these times. Has there ever been a more obvious choice that Reagan vs. Mondale?
If you were to constrain your choices to Perry or Romney vs. Obama, either one of them would be better. What makes Perry a better choice, in your opinion, over Romney?

Perry to me is more “real.” Romney changes his views on issues that are near and dear to me as a conservative depending on the office that he is running for. He is a liar (not that they all aren’t) and a bad one at that. He was pro-abortion AND a Mormon at the same time? That tells me that his faith is nothing more than a prop to him.
Perry was a Democrat yes, but there is no evidence that I can find that shows he was a liberal. In the eighties it was quite possible to be the former without being the latter. Perry was not pro-gay “marriage” or pro-abortion at the same time that he claimed to be a member of a faith that is anathema to those things.
Perry has a jobs record that beats Mitt and crushes Obama.
