From the sounds of it, there are Freepers who are not on his side, either but I don’t understand why. I view him favorably and even supported him at the caucus. I know there are those who cannot forget his gaffes at the debates but I cared more about his record. Hey, what do I know, I never choose the right one at the caucus.
His ‘gaffes’ - they will always find something when they want it. Yet, they couldn’t do what he has done. I, too, look at long term performance unlike the ‘instant’ generation - ‘look what he just did’.
During the primairies, I looked at all the candidates and researched their backgrounds.
The major factor in Gov. Perry’s past that bothered me was the Trans-Texas Corridor. There were issues with that project, mainly it was being built to facititale mercantile interests that would exist after the establishment of the North American Federation, something that is enormously unpopular and, hopefully, never happens. (The Bush family are big supporters of it, including the New World Order - Global government under the UN.)
This project seemed just like the kind of big government project conservatives despise, yet Perry is supposedly conservative? Nope. I wasn’t convinced that Perry was what we should have as a candidate, but I do like him as a person.
