You’re arguing with a fence post. South40 despises Perry and will not attribute anything good to him. Give up before you get a headache. :)

I don't despise anyone. I do despise liberalism and pandering to the ILLEGAL hordes who have invaded this country. That pretty much sums up La Raza Rick's career. But thanks for chiming in Buckeye.

btw...I missed you on the thread about Perry praising Hillary. Why no defense of your favorite liberal governor there?

Hillary is a “very, very capable public servant, great secretary of state, first lady,” ~ La Raza Rick Perry

And you think this man should be POTUS? lol!

True, noted from past headaches. :-)

It's expected that anybody who serves as governor for 14 years is going to make some enemies. Nobody's perfect; anybody is going to make some mistakes.

In Gov. Perry's case, he's made a few -- the Gardasil controversy, the Trans-Texas Corridors, his response to people who objected to in-state tuition for illegals.

Still, on balance, I believe the evidence supports the notion he's been a helluva governor. Under Perry's administration, Texas has been the most successful state in the union -- nobody can argue otherwise.

That said, I'm not a Perry-for-President guy; I'm rooting for Cruz. I recognize that Perry probably isn't conservative by commitment, but more of a conservative by political calculation. However, if he were to win the nomination, I'd support him enthusiastically.

South40 is just one of those enemies Perry has made over the years. The Gardasil controversy (or something) sent him over the edge and blinded him to Perry's larger accomplishments. That's his problem, not mine, and it's his right.
