Love the guy. I think he's an honest broker and can get things done.

FR has gotten into the habit of demeaning every available candidate. When will it stop.

No candidate can be all things nor will they be in agreement on all things. I think Perry is the best of the best despite any differences we may have.

I agree. If you listen to some FReepers, every candidate is horrible.
We have to remember that they are all 1000% better than the Current Occupant of the White House, and they deserve some respect for considering putting their hat in the ring in the interest of serving the American people.

I like Paul Ryan, Rubio, Perry, Santorum, etc., a heckuva lot better than the Democratic alternative.

I’m not interested in disparaging or attacking Rick Perry. Any vitriol I have would be better spent on other uniparty candidates such as jeb or jabba the christie or piaps. That said, I’m done showing up for candidates that are only marginally better than the ‘rat.

So why would I want to show up for Rick Perry? He’s got a questionable record on amnesty, he’s a corporatist, and his record on gun freedoms is sort of ehhh.

"When will it stop."

Never.

FWIW, to a lot of constitutional conservatives, the major problems in the US begin with being invaded and can only end when the invasion is stopped. I'm not familiar with Rick Perry's attitudes toward that, but if he doesn't demand that the border be enforced and all invaders sent home, I'll never vote for him.

It's not just another issue. It's the one that needs to be solved, or we're doomed.
