Why don’t you explain your candidates border positions? Maybe your could persuade some Perry supporters to his/her side.
I’m not of the “pick your pony” gang mentality type mindset. I’ll vote for the best person (declared candidate or not) I can find when the general election comes up. I’m not into the two party nonsense our Founding Fathers explicitly warned us against falling prey to. If the best I can find is a Republican, so be it, if not, so be that, too.
Conservative =/= Republican
