I guess you'd include Mr. Cain in that? Or just Perry?
Whatever...
Will88, you're a FReeper. So I love ya, brother.
But you're a moving target and already have your mind made up.
See you around the forum.
God Bless You...
Cain has spent most of his life as a businessman so we don''t have a long history of his political leanings. But if you can't recognize and respect what it takes for a black man to become a successful businessman in American, and then become a conservative politician in America, then you're not dealing with reality.
Rick Perry is an opportunistic politician who checks to see which side the bread is buttered on. And that he was still supporting a Dim for president in 1988, after the Dim party's two decades of anti-American, anti-military policies, after Jimmy Carter, after two terms of Ronald Reagan, well, there is really no way to explain Perry other than that he is an opportunistic politician.
You and other Perry supporters are making some of the most absurd arguments I've ever seen on FR to try and deny Perry's past and even some of his more recent policies as governor.
Perry is a politician; reminds me of Slick Willie, but not as silver tongued. He'd be too much like GWB and John McCain for me, and he'd never be able to shake that widespread border state politician malady known as "Pander to Hispanics". And if the party doesn't resist that temptation, they'll dig their own political grave by ushering in long term Dim majorities.
