I see a President Perry as being very good on: healthcare, taxes, spending, judges, guns, abortion, reducing business regulations, tort reform, the military, and social issues among others.

I see his primary weakness as: immigration. I'm wary of his use of executive orders, but he seems to have learned a lesson. I know the TTC was an issue that would have involved eminent domain, but I also realize that proposal did not go forward after conservatives expressed disapproval.

Rick Perry is not perfect. No candidate out there is, but he would be solid on most every issue I care about. He has also shown he both listens to and responds to conservative criticism.

He also would be better than Romney, and a million times better than Obama.

I know I won't convert you, and I'm not even trying to. Just realize that many conservatives are frightened about the primary options that exist if Perry does indeed fall by the wayside, as he appears to be doing.

With all due respect I have no Idea why you thing Perry is any kind of an answer for the big real problems we have as a nation. Romney is not either they are both disasters waiting to happen. As far as spending goes we have a 31 billion deficit that we did not have when he came to office so thats NOT true. He would be no better than Bush when it comes to that. The TTC was did not go forward but he fought tooth and nail for it and its not really dead. Perry nor Romney are what we need. We need a real conservative like Palin. If she does not get in my number 2 choice would be Cain although I don't think he is ready but the great GOP is not giving us good choices like always.

Another major problem with Perry is crony capitalism. During his tenure Texas state government has selected business winners and losers just as much as the federal government.
