Conservative Texans would not vote for Perry for President. He was okay as governor because Texas has a weak-governor system, more symbolic than real leadership. PR Rick was fine for that job.
Our most valuable post is Lt. Gov, because he sets the agenda for the legislation that will be considered. We are working to have a real conservative, Dan Patrick, beat the GOPe candidate, David Dewhurst, for that office in the May 27 run-off.
I agree, but there are many Texas FReepers who insist Perry is a die-hard conservative as are they for supporting him. An objective assessment of the man and his record proves he is anything but conservative.
