Nice summation of Perry.
August 13, 2011 Rick Perry's Announcement Speech at Red State Gathering [YouTube]
Well, if the LA Times loathes him that badly, it says very good things about him in my book.
I’m still in Sarah’s corner though.
“Politics: If you thought the Republicans in control of the House were an uncompromising bunch, they’ve got nothing on Perry. In Texas, the governor has never been known for reaching across the aisle and pressures moderate Republicans to toe the conservative line. He believes the GOP lost its congressional majority in 2006 not because of an unpopular war but because the party compromised its small-government principles. Under a Perry administration, it would be Rick’s way or the highway.”
Sounds good to me!
