As I see his record now, I think that both Rush and Sarah overrate Perry. He seems to me to be a political chameleon who tries to play both sides. IMO, he is a moderate who happens to live in Texas. E.G, his flight to attend a mosque groundbreaking is disturbing to me. This is pandering, pure and simple. Bob
You could be right. I generally consider the views and opinions of Palin and Limbaugh to be well founded and worthy of consideration, but they are mere mortals, and as such hardly infallible.

I believe you're talking about the Ismaili Muslims. I don't think he gave up his Christian faith to visit with them. Tens of thousands of them live in Texas. Perry is supposed to be the Governor of the state, I don't see how he can ignore them.
I guess I've pretty much heard all of the arguments against Perry, and obviously there are many, which is to be expected, given Perry's long public career.
There are legitimate concerns. The Guardasil E.O., the TTC, and his early immigration views seem to cause the most agitation among his detracters. Those are flaws, but I get the impression Perry learned from them. To me, that's where his experience pays off, he won't make the same mistakes again.
Actually, he's not my first choice, I prefer Sarah Palin. They seem to like each other and I see them as a dynamic team.
Can you imagine a Perry/Palin or Palin/Perry ticket! Two experienced conservative Governors in the Reagan tradition, from our two largest energy producing states! Drill, Baby, Drill! :)
