Just the opposite of what some Texans have posted right here at FR. It's amazing how people deemed "conservative" can have such radically different opinions of the same person.
Also, just so you are aware, we have some here on FR who are Michele Bachmann fans and have been very vocal on FR in her behalf, a few who still would like to see Sarah Palin get into the race and while they are easy to get along with here in Texas, others are ruthless on Perry on FR, and some that untruthfully post on FR that are most likely Bob White supporters (the liberal Dem who ran against Rick Perry in his last Governor's race and who still has ambitions here in Texas, getting ready if Perry were to stay here in Texas) who are keeping up the fight under-the-radar here.
Plus some here in TX (and on FR) love Perry's pro-life accomplishments (hard to beat by anyone's measure), but really dis like his moderate immigration stand (pathway to citizenship). That immigration issue is probably the one issue Texans are most divided on and which Rick Perry will be pounded on by Texans and non-Texan alike, and you will see that influence how some Texans feel about Perry regardless of how conservative he is otherwise. That is simply a deal breaker for some people.
And one person here just insists he acts like a bully, but then again, that FR poster acts like a bully to everyone regardless of what they think of ANY candidate or ANY issue, so take that one complaint or leave it.
I can see where it can get confusing here on FR, but remember, it's a big state with lots of people, and Rick Perry has been voted in again and again, so while he has done some things that have not been 100% popular, he's been voted in again and again by an extremely conservative state.
And remember, I wasn't talking about Texas citizens here I was talking about the Texas legislature who work with him. That is what YOUR question would have more referenced when you asked if he would veto conservative policies at which time I gave you what Perry's conservative Texas co-workers say about him.
Here again is what I said, and it DOES pertain to our conservative supermajority legislature, the ones Perry works with in Austin, our state capital, and not the ones posting here on FR.
My previous comment:
Also, my husband and I are friends with a couple of the conservative state representatives here, and they couldn't be happier with what this conservative supermajority has accomplished with Rick Perry. Perry has given them much support and help in getting conservative legislature through, and he has done so with plenty of cooperation with them. They are downright tickled to have a conservative supermajority, and they are tickled to have Rick Perry to work with.
