Actually, I can only find one issue I have serious disagreement with Perry, immigration, where he isn’t as bad as a lot of folks claim. He’s not for “open borders” or “amnesty”. But here’s a short list of things to like about Perry...
1. Pro-gun.
2. Pro-life.
3. Pro death penalty.
4. Global warming skeptic.
5. Pro-military veteran.
6. Pro-drilling.
7. Pro-business, regulatory reform.
8. Has the guts to call Social Security what it is.
9. Strong on 10th ammendment, limited Federal government.
I like your short-list! I tried to come up with a short list and it ended up being way too long. You’ve narrowed it down exactly.
Bump!
Perry has a record to back up everything on that list vs others who only have the rhetoric. Good speeches and debates go along way but actually walking the walk is so much more meaningful.
Some candidates have no record actually doing these thing. Others candidates like Romney have a record doing the opposite.
No man is perfect. Rick Perry will improve in these debates and will be the advocate against Obama that we need.
Pretty much where I am. I am afraid he is going to be the Fred Thompson of this cycle though.
