You Perry APOLOGISTS are too much. I shall rebut.
“In state tuition (DREAM Act)-veto proof majority in the TX legislature.”
So why does he STILL SUPPORT it (to the extent of calling his opponents ‘heartless’)? Maybe because he always did agree with it, just asking?
“Sanctuary Cities in the special session-killed by Strauss and Dewhurst”
Easy enough to fix with a SPECIAL SESSION of the legislature. It was a very important issue for CONSERVATIVES - he chose to let it die last June...seems that it wasn’t so important to him.
“Pro-life....parental consent/sonograms before abortions/defund planned parenthood’s abortion activities”
Not on my list. But there have been a lot of pro-life Democrats too. Just pointing that out.
“Pro 2nd amendment..Absolutely, Unequivocally. No question he will defend my 2nd amendment rights..stated that there are illegal guns on Campuses in TX..he wanted there to be Legal Guns..died in legislature, IIRC Defends Puppies against predators much to the consternation of PETA.”
Also not on my list. But it’s probably worth mentioning that Harry Reid was also pro-gun. That didn’t make him a conservative.
“Sued the EPA. Instructed State Regulators to weigh the impact of onerous epa regulations on economic benefits to TX.”
Also not on my list - but it’s probably worth noting that California governor Gray Davis was demanding that the federal government pay for illegals. In other words, WHINING about something does not make you conservative. Now, if he told the EPA to go to hell, and told the companies to ignore their orders, I’d probably be broke now, because of giving him campaign donations. But he seems perfectly happy to leave things at the whining stage.
“So, you may say gardasil..(didn’t happen)”
Doesn’t matter. If he proposed to legalize gay marriage but the legislature stopped him, would he still be a conservative?
“TTC, (didn’t happen)”
Same as above - he carried it for at least 5 years, and it was ONLY when it was going to hurt him in 2010 did he back off. It was the biggest LAND GRAB, by far, in US history, and it was only the threat of being unseated that stopped him. I have trouble giving him a pass on it.
“and all your other false flags.”
Most not even attempted to be addressed.
“You can say Perry isn’t a Conservative, but I’m not buying it anymore than I’m buying the Prosperity Gospel a lot of Preachers are selling these days.”
You can call him a conservative...it’s a free country. Romney calls himself a conservative - they all do. Perry’s problem is that he has A RECORD, and other than some near-token conservatism (guns and sonograms) he hasn’t shown a whole lot of enthusiasm for the cause.
Romney bankrupted the state of Mass and was a disaster as governor. So bad he didnt bother to run for reelection because he knew he would lose.
Why does he get a free pass on this. He was an absolute disaster for the state.
What qualifies this filthy rich liberal to be president? Inquiring minds want to know.
Pro-life is not on your list? Pro-2A is not on your list? Opposing the EPA is not on your list?
Tell me, WTF are you doing at FR if those issues are “not on your list?” The first two are cornerstones of the conservative cause.
