I like what you’ve tried to do here.
I’ve come to use an evaluation over the years in how closely a candidate who states they are conservative acutally governs or conducts themselves privately. Honesty (truthfulness), a belief in smaller government, and a governing style that respects the values and concerns of citizens and the US Constitution are just examples.
Some people will say anything to get elected: Mitt Romney is an example.
Rick Perry plays politics to power and has, in the past. involved Texas government in projects that Texans didn’t want.
Neither man exhibit conservative values in action.
Herman Cain will be a gamble. He has a record but it doesn’t involve governing. I have not yet began to conduct research on him and have not formed a solid picture of his stances on issues and how he has lived conservative values.
I know enough about Romney and Perry to know that neither man is presidential timber IMHO.
As I’ve said, this my personal opinion. I’m not debating their worths as potential candidates in the future 2012 race, just relating what I’ve found and why I will not vote for either man.
I agree.
I can certainly agree. I am not 'all about Rick Perry'. I do not believe anybody should be all about any one candidate. Our 3 branches of government were formed to prevent such tyranny.
I also trust legislatures and congress to keep the executives in line.
