If you'd like, you can contribute this to the new, "Day in the life of Perry" thread.

Here's the smaller govt advocate handing the Texas treasury to ACORN looters.

The fact is Perry has repeatedly been elected by arguably the most conservative electorate in the country. If he is a RINO then the word has no real meaning.

Right now my candidate is Michele Bachmann, and it might be Sarah Palin, should she make the decision to get in the race.

Once again, you haven't got a clue. No suprise there. Thinking is clearly not your strongsuit.

.

And so who are you going to listen to, some of our most revered Conservative icons or the vicious Looney Left?

>Sarah Palin threw her endorsement to Rick Perry for governor-. She recently restated that she likes Perry.

>Rush said that Perry is his dream candidate. http://gretawire.blogs.foxnews.com/rush-limbaugh-on-the-record-3/

>Michael Reagan praises Perry:
“If you don’t believe Reaganomics can still work in this day and age, for whatever reason, I say you should look no further than the state of Texas.
Under the leadership of Gov. Rick Perry, Texas has championed and built upon the concepts my father used to rebuild America in the 1980s..
In short, Reagan Revolution is alive and well - deep in the heart of Texas.”

>Ted Nugent is a close friend and supporter

Are you going to listen to of dozens of Perry’s fellow politicians and scholars or the vicious Looney Left?

Read the official statements of dozens of Perry’s fellow politicians and scholars (both Democrats and Republicans) have had to say about Rick Perry: http://www.politico.com/arena/archive/rick-perry-for-president-in-2012.html

All (including Democrat opponents) have called him a staunch Conservative, and not one of the dozens issuing opinions has mentioned the vaccine or TTC.
Apparently they don’t consider these things an issue. They DID mention Perry threatening to secede from the unionas a strike against him.
What Perry actually said; “You know, my hope is that America and Washington in particular pays attention,” Perry continued. “We’ve got a great union. There is absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, you know, who knows what may come out of that? So. But Texas is a very unique place and we’re a pretty independent lot to boot.”

Until 1989, Rick Perry was a conservative Democrat. He switched parties as, like many Democrats including Ronald Reagan and Phil Gramm, he saw that party moving farther and farther to the left. Under Perry’s decade as governor, hundreds of Texas Democrats have followed his lead and become Republicans. As a former Democrat, Perry can speak to that swath of his former party that has become disenchanted with their party as President Obama has taken it even farther to the left, in a way that few Republicans can. He can also speak well and credibly to all wings of the national GOP, from the fiscal cons to the social cons to the libertarian set.
He would appeal to all segments of the Republican electorate and would come armed with a record of economic success and a commitment to liberty that no other contender can match.

The Perry trashing is hardly in the best interests of our Conservative agenda. The Loony Left does not need any help from us in character assassination of our Conservatives.
Our Conservative candidates are not perfect.
None of them.
They have all made mistakes and carry baggage.
But what we must do is try to run one that has a chance of winning the White House from the Marxist/Muslim usurper.
We MUST win, or Hussein will finish America.

We had best trust the opinions of our Conservative icons.
We have to run someone capable of winning this thing.
As much as we love our Palin, Backmann and Cain, they simply cannot win.
We must run someone with a proven solid record and cross-over appeal. Even with all his faults, that someone is Rick Perry.
They all have their faults.
There is no perfect Conservative candidate.
Never has been.
Never will be.
We are forced to choose the best of the lot.
That’s just the way it is.

He’s one of the few who get it. View this short video where he states most eloquently that Muslims- ALL Muslims are the enemy.

Party before country...Compromise conservatism, profits regardless of consequences, the kings clothes look fine...The better of two evils...It's not conservative discuss issues that make him look bad... If ya don't support our man, you're a troll, a liberal..Dissent will not be heard or tolerated...To disagree means your operating outside established party protocol and authority!
