Liberal? Uh no. One can criticize him on certain issues like anyone else but to call him a liberal is ridiculous.
Certain issues? He has a long history of being liberal on issues. That makes him a liberal.
Liberal Rick Perry praised Hillary by saying she was a great Secretary of State. A real conservative would never have done that.
Nor would a conservative have worked to keep Ted Cruz from going to Washington.
Nor would a conservative have opposed a border fence.
Nor would a conservative try to impose a nanny-state executive order to force females to have injections of unwanted, unnecessary and unproven vaccination.
A real conservative would not have endorsed the man who has waged war on the TEA Party, RINO Mitch McConnell, for reelection.
A conservative would not give taxpayer-subsidized financial aid and instate tuition to ILLEGAL aliens.
A conservative would not characterize as heartless the conservative voting base who opposed such handouts for ILLEGAL aliens.
Perry is no conservative and his record proves it. But youre free to defend his liberal past if you so choose.
