Perry is a crony capitalist. We all know he pushed the Gardasil thing because of connections to the drug companies. I refer you to this Freeper post from a Texan discussing his land grab for the Trans-Texas Corridor:

Stop lying about Newt. He was never a lobbyist. At the same time you seem to have no problem when Perry hands out political favors to lobbyists. Guess what, lobbying is also called free speech. There is a pro-life lobby just as much as there is a pro-choice lobby. Citizens are allowed to ask their government to do things. It’s when the government does things that hurt the rest of us that there’s a problem.
Science doesn’t mix with politics any more than religion mixes with politics. You cannot evaluate science based on a political bias. I can be a conservative and believe in global warming if I want to. A political party telling me what science I should or should not believe in is no different from the church telling us the world is flat. Newt spoke out in Congress against Al Gore’s cap and trade scheme and has been outspoken about developing all of our energy resources, fossil fuel and otherwise:

Newt made millions off of selling his books. No different than Palin, his books sold better because his name was well-known, but there’s nothing UNconservative about making money in the free market. For once we ought to have someone in high office smart enough to be a great and popular writer on something like two dozen books who doesn’t need anyone to ghost write them for him.
Perry has been over the 13th (THIRTEENTH) largest economy in the world. In case you haven't bothered to read (you can read can't you?) more jobs have been created in TEXAS than the entire US combined in the past 3 years while the Fuhrer has been _resident.
Perry has signed more pro-life legislation than any former a-hole politician resulting in 12 Planned Parenthood abortuaries being shut down due to lack of funding
Perry is STATES RIGHTS (a.k.a. 10th Amendment)
Perry is 2nd Amendment...no compromise...check out the dead coyote that tried to attack his dog while jogging
Perry has signed TORT reform ...a.k.a. LOSER PAYS and is now an enemy of trial lawyers (the man should have a gold star pinned to his chest because of that alone)
Gov. Rick Perry has received the Defender of Jerusalem Award, which is given to public figures who have demonstrated support and commitment to the state of Israel and its capitol, Jerusalem. (2009)
The Texas State Guard (TXSG) is one of three branches of the military forces of Texas, reporting to the Adjutant General, and under the command of the Governor. The other branches of the State Military Forces of Texas are the Texas Army National Guard, and the Texas Air National Guard.[1][2][3
Gov Perry actually served his country in the Air Force and was a Pilot.
Gov Perry is an expert, just by virtue of being in the state of Texas, in the energy industry in his state and is AGAINST cap and trade.
Gov Perry has vowed to repeal the hideous deathcare A.K.A. Obamacare that WILL kill our economy (along with our infirmed), when it's presented to him.
His family (Anita & in-laws are in the medical field...and they KNOW... the damage that socialized medicine will do to this nation)
And on top of everything else? Rick Perry could kick Barack Hussein Obama's ass from coast to coast...figuratively and literally. WHAT THE HELL ELSE DO YOU WANT IN A CANDIDATE?? Really I want to know, just what the hell else it is you people want from a Presidential candidate? You want perfection? Well even if Christ Himself were running there would be some on FR bitching about that 'love your neighbor' thing.
Newt Gingrich? Michele Bachmann? Ron Paul? Please, for God's sake! We need a PROVEN individual...And it sure as hell is not the others in the field.
Let's truly change this course...this is it ...there will be NO DO-OVERS.
