Anyone who believes that nonsensical spin out of the Perry camp is dangerously naive.
But it is clear he did want the government to take action at that time. I think you would be hard pressed to find any real candidate, declared or not, who did not support the government taking action in the 3rd quarter 2008.
I am not saying I agree with it. The government did a lot to create the mess with their meddling in the first place. But I find few republicans that spoke out in mid-late 2008 that was against some form of bailout.
Perry is obviously running a progressive style campaign.
You’ll notice all the claims of lying by those opposing him but so far I’m not seeing them offering up any proof of these so called lies.
Who is running his campaign, Media Matters?
