He should have gotten a 30 sec reply after Bachmann made the “madness” statement, but Wallace kept going on his own agenda - he knew the questions that were coming.
Perry’s got history, and a proven “hard core right conservative,” according to “On the Issues.” He has fought for pro-life, pro-marriage, pro-business laws and resisted pressure over and over to raise taxes or try for an income tax. He lowered school taxes in ‘06, fought for tort reform and the new “loser pays.” We have voter ID, a new law prohibiting illegals from getting a driver’s license.
He pressured the Senate to pass the sanctuary cities ban, but the House, with 150 members (101 of them Republican) balked with Republicans including big donors and even grass roots anti-immigration activists told them not to pass the bill.
The whole Legislature has passed this bill into law, twice, and refused to over turn this year.

On the Issues. He has fought for pro-life, pro-marriage,
Except that Perry supported a pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage candidate for President by the name of Rudy Giuliani in the last election. Some have claimed Giuliani's stances on other issues are more important, but if you are a serious pro-lifer like Perry claims to be, you don't compromise when it comes to somebody who supports the murder of babies. You just don't. It's even worse when that person is running for President and could appoint justices to the Supreme Court, which could influence those very same issues.
He pressured the Senate to pass the sanctuary cities ban, but the House, with 150 members (101 of them Republican) balked with Republicans including big donors and even grass roots anti-immigration activists told them not to pass the bill.
Those big donors include Perry's biggest and richest donor, a homebuilder, and Perry did not criticize him or go in and lobby against his efforts. Of course that same donor not only has Perry bought off, but he's got Dewhurst and Straus bought off as well, so it's no surprise. They do his bidding or stay out of his way.
