With every debate, Rick Perry shows that he lives in a glass house regarding flip-flopping. He publicly criticized Arizona’s controversial law to deal with illegal immigrants. Tonight, he tried to reverse his position by saying that he joined Arizona’s suit against the federal government over the law. In other words, he was against enforcing immigration laws before he was in favor of enforcing immigration laws.
If he always flips in the right direction, that’s a lot better than nothing. Still, it would have been better for Perry to have settled on these things a few years ago than to be evolving in the middle of debates.
