It’s not for a lack of trying that Romney didn’t get installed in the Capital Hill Club, is it?

Besides, Romney is Obama Lite.

So what other points do you want to make?

Well let's see... both Perry and Romney are D.C. "outsiders" seeking to get themselves installed in Washington. Both have spent years in state politics working the system (Perry moreso than Romney, although since Romney is the son of a politician you could say it was in his blood from the start). Romney was an anti-Reagan guy and "independent" during the Reagan years until he discovered that wouldn't play well with the crowd he needed to move up in politics, so he changed sides. Perry was a Democrat and pro-Gore guy during the Reagan years (and Al Gore was NOT a conservative in 1988 no matter how much Perry supporters try to pretend Gore's 11% conservative rating was decent),until he discovered that wouldn't play well with the crowd he needed to move up in politics, so he changed sides.

Bottom line? These guys have far more in common with each other than either has in common with the tea party and reformers.
