As a Texan, I say HECK NO. He is as wishy washy as they come, we have to force him into a corner to actually do something conservative.

I hear you, but if he’s the only thing standing in the way of Mitt getting the nomination, then bring it on.

At least he has a shot of beating Obama, Mitt doesn’t have a prayer.

[dfwgator]

And it would be worth it, just to hear Perry tell Obama, “Adios, MoFo!”

[arrogantsob]

Is there a more conservative major politician in the country?

[Melvalena]

Totally agree!

[normy]

So I guess with Perry we can expect tax hikes, more spending on social programs, huge defense cuts, less clout in the world, more distancing from our traditional allies (Israel, Britain, Australia), ballooning deficits, more Federal control over States rights, more EPA intrusion, more abortion, more pandering to 3rd world dictators, less friendly business environment, more gun control and probably higher unemployment. Yeah screw Gov. “Goodhair” /sarc

Not only is he wishy washy as hell and used to playing up special interest groups for his own gain, he scares the hell out of me. He could have put a stop to the DNA crap with Texas newborns and the DNA stuff being sent off to the federal government, and it took going to court to get that program stopped, a program administered by his alma mater.

He pushed for the biggest land grab in Texas since the Spaniards arrived and he was going to use that land grab to help build his precious super corridor that would eventually link up with a national super corridor from Mexico to Canada. Oh and he was pushing confidential no-bid billion dollar contracts that involved a Spanish company that hired his buddies, and making his buddies like Rudy Giuliani a lot of money through legal consultations.

Speaking of his buddies, a pharmaceutical company hired some of his buddies, and then after an election, Perry tried to mandate that every parent in the state be required to get their young daughters a vaccine against a sexually transmitted disease, and he tried to do it without the legislature or parents having any say, but making it an executive order.

There was a teenage girl that was kidnapped from Texas and taken into Mexico and Perry didn't raise a fuss, but some blond lady loses her husband while doing something incredibly stupid and Perry is all over the media.

Perry's biggest donors are home contractors and I don't think it's a coincidence that Texas has been soft on illegal immigrants, because you don't need to drive around subdivisions under construction to figure out where a lot of the labor comes from.

Let us not forget that Perry wasted millions on webcams to "guard" the border as well.

If Perry, God forbid, somehow became President, he is going to shove his NAFTA corridor down our throats on a national scale.

I will vote for a third party before I ever vote for Rick Perry again.

“I say HECK NO. He is as wishy washy as they come”

That’s what I have understood from other conservatives who have followed him (I haven’t kept up with his career). It seems I have heard he is soft on immigration issues and had a lot of people riled about the Meh-hee-co/Canada freeway a few years back.

[SaraJohnson]

He has not been wishy washy with Obammy. He’s also truly upset about the open borders now that the Mexican cartel has arrived in America.

[Clara Lou]

No. No Perry. He beats the heck out of White, his last opponent for governor, but that’s about as far as that goes. No Perry for POTUS. No.

[jospehm20]

Compared to those who have declared so far, Perry is good.
