I am now a Citizen Cain.
I am a Cain guy too. Gov Perry concerned me because there has been too many undercurrent rumors of him acting like Clinton. Using state troopers to get hookers (including possibly gay ones) and being coked up.
I am from NJ where we had a gov (McGreevey) who was gay for many years until his gay lover outed him in a sexual harassment suit when he did not get the post for NJ Homeland Security. Like many NJ we were surprised but my friends from his hometown of Woodbridge were not surprised. They knew of rumors when he was the mayor of the town. I know Perry supporters say he has been in politics for a long time and such acts cannot be hidden. Well Clinton and McGreevey were hidden but rumored for a long time too. Perry supporters have berated me on FR for bringing up this allegation. But note, none of the GOP candidates face this allegation, why only Perry??? If untrue, why does it persist thru Perry’s long political career? There may be no proof, but my gut says the GOP should not risk it. 2012 is too important to risk such a scandal in the next POTUS.
For a more substantial issue, Perry lost me on illegal immigration. Jobs are tight and the last thing I need is a POTUS who can go soft on this issue. He suffers the same problem as GWB, he has a TexMex wife. Wives with liberal views can affect their conservative husbands, especially on pet or personal issues. Just look at the last Gov of CA.
