Perry, naive? Give me a break. I guess him implying that people against making Gardasil mandatory was a “conservative Christian” thing to do.
I do know, the Dream Act is not a conservative position.

Yes, throw Perry in the briar patch with that one.
Everyone who attacks Perry on that will be viewed as a racist, while Perry will come off to the growing Latino community to be a guy not to be afraid of - particularly since Obama hasn't really turned out too well for Latinos.
On principle, the Dream Act is evil because it embodies the ideas and political favoritism we despise. Nonetheless, this is political calculus that apparently has been successful in previous Perry campaigns. Just Win, Baby.
If you really think this out though, the Dream Act is more symbolism than substance and works splendidly with the Left who deep in their hearts hate Latinos and think they are morons, but their ideology tells them that they are exactly the same as any other demographic in areas that they think matter.
The Left think that with the Dream Act, thousands of Latinos will push aside white kids for those coveted seats in Freshman English. The rest of us know that they will likely wash out of Freshman English as that is what the class is for. Reality says illegal aliens don't have the infrastructure (interpret that as you may) to succeed alongside Americans who have English speaking, educated parents. Furthermore, unless there is a lot of drug money involved, I'm not sure how an illegal alien is going to be able to finance all of those things not underwritten by the Dream Act. How does securing a school loan work without any documentation?
