That’s a good point, it’s not so simple to answer the question. But really, it’s the most important question of all.
RINOs, who were at first thought to be conservative, are everywhere.
This tells us how widespread the problem is. And the problem, simply put, is corruption. Corruption of principle.
The antidote to corruption in a politician is a very rare quality. Meaning that the vast majority of politicians who sound conservative during a campaign are in fact, to varying degrees, untrustworthy. We know this from common sense, but so often we forget it. Me included. But objective, historical evidence can shake this problem.
I’m a Palin guy, because I’ve seen what she did, at great personal risk and when it seemed politically nonviable, to fight against crony capitalism and corruption in general. I’ve seen that she keeps her word. If Perry has this quality and it is in his record, I will be very pleased.
Keep in mind, words from the mouth of a politician during a campaign are highly unreliable in the absense of a record—a high score on the most important test.
Thank you for your reply.
Perry will have to make his case to you and the country.
I’m putting as much out there about Perry as I can find (and trying to keep spinners and such, more “honest” than not).
In the end only God knows a man’s true heart.
Let’s pray He guides our choice.
But she quits. That is not a good trait for POTUS nor a conservative one at that.
Perry has 30 years of public service on his side. There’s plenty to check him out on. He is the most experienced candidate in the race as far as governing and executive experience goes.
The ultimate question, or test, of a good candidate as I have explained in this thread can be put in a different way:
The Ruling Class know which of the contenders can be rolled. And they know who will put up a fight. Signs point to the fact that they fear Palin the most.
This is the ultimate test. There’s no way the left can cheat on this test to make their guy look better than Palin, because their efforts are visible.
