I met him through a very wealthy friend. Prior to meeting Perry I was texting this friend one night and had asked him what he was doing. His response was that he was in his jet going to a "debate". I said "what? you are a raging Democrat!". My friend said he had known Perry since college and besides that he had decided it was best that he support Republicans. It was very shocking to me. I was floored because this fellow was a HUGE Democrat. He also happens to be by far the smartest human I have ever met. I have met some pretty bright people and could name names you would recognize. This fellows only flaw was that he was a Democrat. But no more. FYI, I have been around Bill Clinton and he is a used car salesman. A very crafty one.
I have chatted with Rick Perry for a bit one on one and have been around him during various get togethers. His ability to remember peoples names is astounding, including family members of people he just met. One interesting thing about him is his stories on all the stem cell treatments he has had. He has had numerous ones and they helped him a lot. Unfortunately, his back issue was very bad and it is my take he messed up in the debate due to pain medication.
If my MEGA RICH Democrat donor can change Rick Perry certainly can. I'm a big fan of Ronald Reagan and have read a lot about him. He made big changes in his political views so it is possible.
Bottom line? I hated Rick Perry til I met Rick Perry.
Uh, you did know Perry supported Al Gore?

A man of “two minds” cannot be trusted. Either he was wrong before or he was wrong before.
If you don’t admit you were wrong before, then chances are you are “politically expedient”.
Frankly we have ENOUGH “Rich” dudes and Professional politicians. I think we need new blood instead of “hoping” the good ol’ boys change their heart as often as their underwear.
Bottom line - Rick Perry is a big government smarmy politician. I have been at several public situations where I observed him first hand, and he was always surrounded by a sea of brown nose supplicants.
