The bottom line is Perry is a great candidate to take back the White House and get us on a conservative path. In reading all of his critics and objectors' opinions, I come away with "Man, he is smart. Good move, Perry."
Where he distinguishes himself from people like Palin, Bachmann, and Paul, is in his bringing people together and not driving wedges. I realize a lot of idealists view this as pandering or weak, but the reality is you have to play poker to win a presidency. Play smart, and play wisely.
Can't see any other candidates with this resume except for maybe Pawlenty and Romney. I think as time goes along, they both lose supporters to the Perry camp.
Sounds like Bush to me... and you only get one chance to fool me. Bush was a disaster for our Conservative ideology... and I just do not see any difference between the two. We shall see... but I do not think that he can run and hide from the things that I posted... and he cannot win without people like me... and so far we are leery.
