One guy mentions he has never lost an election - that proves my basic point he is a politician not a convservative.

That's a good point. Reagan lost a few times. Reagan obviously did not change his mind he just kept running on the same agenda each time and finally the people got it in 1980.

Darnit, I guess that I could have brought up that point also. Perry NEVER had to win a contested primary for governor. He got elevated to the spot when Bush was elected president. Once there, he sure as heck knew how to keep any other Republican from challenging him.

That still doesn’t mean he’ll be a good president, or even a decent president.
