In Gov. Perry's case, he's made a few -- the Gardasil controversy, the Trans-Texas Corridors, his response to people who objected to in-state tuition for illegals.
Still, on balance, I believe the evidence supports the notion he's been a helluva governor. Under Perry's administration, Texas has been the most successful state in the union -- nobody can argue otherwise.
That said, I'm not a Perry-for-President guy; I'm rooting for Cruz. I recognize that Perry probably isn't conservative by commitment, but more of a conservative by political calculation. However, if he were to win the nomination, I'd support him enthusiastically.
South40 is just one of those enemies Perry has made over the years. The Gardasil controversy (or something) sent him over the edge and blinded him to Perry's larger accomplishments. That's his problem, not mine, and it's his right.
You are right in one respect; I am but one of the many who see Perry for the fraud that he is. Just last week he praised Hillary. A real conservative would never have done that. Nor would a real conservative have worked to keep Ted Cruz from going to Washington. But your boy did that and more. Factor in his history of being pro-ILLEGAL alien and there is ample reason for most here to not like him. I realize there are people like you who are the exception and that is fine. I have no issues with those who fail to see him how I do. But I will continue posting his horrendous history in every thread wherein anyone is presenting him as some sort of conservative savior to the issue of ILLEGAL immigration. With his history of being pro-ILLEGAL alien, Perry is the problem, not the solution.
