Rick Perry is absolutely NOT a conservative. His stand on illegal immigration, his paternalistic vaccine mandate, and many other issues show that he’s a statist.
Truth is, we never really had a Republican presidential candidate who was tough on illegals since Eisenhower.
What other issues? People like to throw out the immigration and guardisil, but what are the other examples in his 10+ years. Both of those positions deserve examination, but they also must not be overblown. The guardasil thing was no tight but must be kept in perspective. Immigration, and border control? Mixed bag. He’s put huge resources into border protection. Mor Duran other states and above an beyond what the Feds will do. On immigrants hear..not so good, but perfectly in line with the rest of the conservative elected officials in the state of Texas. If Perry can prove his ability to campaign and debate effectively, he’s a pretty solid conservative outside of thse two oft repeated issues.
Do you prefer Romney or Ron Paul?
