Have to ask 'what conservative thing' might Perry do; say. ..re immigration and sanctuary cities? Both pretty big 'things'. Will he bend to Muslims/Islamists in Texas as well? What 'exactly' is Perry's conservative approach to reforming health care?
As for Mitt's pals; am wondering 'who' they are. Certainly, no Repubs or Demrats, for that matter; inside the Beltway are showing signs of goodwill to Mitt. Right now; Mitt appears a 'man with few inside friends'; but he does have a country and plenty of conservative tea-party supporters; it would appear.
If one reads his policy recommendations; his resume; you will see Newt as far more Conservative - and far more impressive - than Rick Perry's Democrat past; and Mitt Romney's past and present.
Have only to go to hist campaign site or just check wikipedia. His accomplishments and his success through leadership are more than impressive. And you cannot miss the conservative architecture in his ideas/policies either.
I have posted links and quotes to show Gov. Perry’s conservative positions and you have read them and dismissed them. He is strong on border security (and not being a dictator could only bring the Texas legislature so far during the last session). We now have photo voter ID and as to the instate tuition, that was a 2001 state decision to combat the unsecured border and federal dictates dropped in our lap to deal with and pay for.
As for your bringing up the lie about “Muslim/Islamists” - I must assume that you are tied into the anti-Perry smear machine pushed by the communist writer Robert Spencer. There is nothing about Perry “bending to Muslims” (but then you know that).
Rick Perry was a conservative West Texas democrat (as you well know) until the GOP party was built up and then Perry became a Republican (1989) and eventually the first Texas Lt. Gov. since Reconstruction (1998). And in his last election brought in a GOP super-majority; served 2 terms as Chair of the RGA. It goes on and on in that strong conservative, American exceptionalism, military service sort of way.
