“You don’t get elected Governor of the most conservative state in the union three times if you’re not doing a good job.”
unless your primary opponets are as weak as KBH (or worse), and your general electyion opponet is a run of the mill Democrat.
Electorial success doesn’t prove Conservative credentials, else we would be shouting out Olympia Snowe’s “conservatism..........”
Give us all a break, the Texas gov., even while running for office against KBH had to seek help from real Conservatives to ge re-elected, because his first administrations didn’t make the case you say it did. Guess clothespin sales peaked in Texas in 2010.
KBH won three Texas Senate elections with 67%,61%,65% and 62% of the vote. In 2010 she had the backing of the Bush clan and Dick Cheney in her run against Rick Perry. As for Perry bringing in conservatives from outside Texas, BFD! This is hardball politics. Politicians campaign for other candidates all over the country. Sarah Palin endorsed Rick Perry in 2010 and even came to Texas to campaign for him.
>>>>>>Electorial success doesn’t prove Conservative credentials..
That is true. As I pointed out Perry has governed as a conservative for the last 11 years. His policies have kept Texas competitive in creating jobs, keeping taxes low with restraints on spending. Along with serious tort reform and reductions in regulations. Perry also signed a bill into law that closed down ALL Planned Parenthood abortion on demand clinics throughout the state of Texas.
You need to get your facts straight and keep them straight.
