To depart from a path, don’t you have to first be on it?

He’s certainly worked Washington well enough from the Texas end under the “old model.” This is all oversimplified talk.

I suppose it’s not for us who “have no heart” to judge in that respect, eh? Non-defense of borders is now a conservative tenet?

"I'd suggest that we all stop trying to tear down the other conservative candidates in the race and instead concentrate on trying to build up our own personal favorites. Who knows? May even discover an acceptable conservative (if not a great conservative) in the bunch. We've never had a perfect conservative yet. Not even the magnificent Ronald Reagan. We and they all have warts."

That’s a truism form of statement, but that doesn’t make it apply to Governor Perry.

If you were to list his known lifestyle, his known upbringing and values, his known positions on cultural and economic issues, which many of us have listed, ad nauseum, you could NEVER show him to be a liberal.

We’re talking an entire life, an entire record, a man’s character.

If you narrow it to gardasil or TTC, for example, he listened to people who went to the mat with their objections. Had them in his office and heard them out. In the end, those things never happened. The straw man, the straw dog as Rush calls it, is not the point, the actual playout of events is the point, and not beating a dead horse to try making it deader than it is.

If Governor Perry is a liberal, words have absolutely no meaning. The word conservative has no meaning, either. All is meaningless drivel, if with his entire life and record he can be branded a liberal.

I am suspicious of those who try to brand a Reagan voter a liberal. A Southern Reagan voter a liberal. A Southern Reagan voter “Bible thumper”...I mean that kindly, a liberal. A military veteran, Southern, Reagan voter, Bible thumper a liberal.

An anti Federal power, states rights-er, a liberal.

I suspect the branders, not the Governor’s conservativism.
