If you find that Perry has not been a disappointment, then you must be far more moderate than I am and many of the Tea Partiers that I know who live there. Many months ago I heard Perry talk of how he had a vision to strengthen States rights, and to strengthen the power of the governorships. I thought, finally he seemed to be showing some conservatism, and some vision. He was asked if he was going to run for President, and he said no, his plan was to make the governors more powerful than the President - that he had a real vision for moving the country back to how it was laid out in the constitution. I was impressed with that. He should have run with that. Too bad.
I called you “bitter” because it seems that anytime anyone says anything negative about Perry, you don’t just disagree with them, you attempt to cut them down with your comments - like you’re spitting out the words as you write them. It seems a little unnecessary. I’m not your enemy. I just disagree about who’s best to run for President. I realize that Newt is flawed - I said that. But, when he’s on message, and most of the time he actually was in the House and as Speaker, he was brilliantly conservative.
If you’ve visited the many posts I’ve made on Gov. Perry where I good naturedly took hits from posters who had someone else they supported — and responded with information and links, you might not feel the need to personally attack me.
I feel that grabbing onto Newt is a dangerous path and I will say it.
