What I like about perry is that he is genuine.
He is principled.
He sticks to his guns, but if he is off the mark, he reassess his position.
He aint no slick shyster.
If I can add to this, his core principals are right. He believes in the sanctity of Life. He believes govt is to big and to intrusive, not that it just needs to be managed better. He believes people should be free and able to defend themselves. He trusts in the invisible hand of the marketplace.
I remember a lot of POTUS I admire who were put down for not being the slickest guy in the room. I'll tale the genuine guy every time.
He’s also a true and unwaivering anti-Washington conservative which sends shivers up and down the spines of DC insiders, including Republicans.
