--- End quote ---

As a matter of fact, he used to be a Democrat didn't he?

bullit:
Yes, he did.  In fact, he was the state rep for Alfonse Gore's 1988 presidential campain (before Al went off the deep end).  That being said he 1) saw the light and 2) Everyone used to be a Democrat in the Republic of Texas, but hey...everyone makes mistakes.....like Johanns, Bruning, et al.   

JimP:
Like I said, if he comes out advocating serious spending reductions (a la Herman Cain) then maybe I could vote for him....... As it is, if he is another G. Bush (Bush Light?) Big Government "Conservative" (Hah!) ..... I'd rather lose than vote in someone who gives false hope.  Hell, even Ron Paul would be preferable, as at least he'd tell you the truth as he saw it, instead of telling you what you want to hear, in order to just get elected.  I'm not sure Mr. Perry did not just change parties because he thought he could get ahead better with an R behind his name.

True, Ronald Reagan used to be a Democrat..... I'd like to see what else Mr. Perry has done ....... has he reduced the size of the Texas Government?

Dan W:
Yes... just give me 4 more years of Obama

bullit:
JimP....I would highly encourage you to take the time and look at Perry.  No disrespect intended, but your comments are very misinformed ala "As it is, if he is another G. Bush (Bush Light?) Big Government "Conservative" (Hah!)"  He is not.  Paul Burca who is a long time editor for Texas Monthly magazine (which is pretty darn liberal) has written extensively on Perry and is pretty fond of him at the end of the day.   
"Hell, even Ron Paul would be preferable, as at least he'd tell you the truth as he saw it, instead of telling you what you want to hear, in order to just get elected"  That's part of Perry's "problem" now with the Drive By Media....he speaks his mind and is darn clear about what he intends to do and doesn't care what the schmucks think. Keep in mind Perry ain't got no pedigree that's why he is driving even the establishment "Repubicans" crazy.   Of course the Man-Child in the White House attempted to arrogantly marginalize him today too by saying he's going to give Perry some slack as he's only been in the race a few days.  Is that what we want 4 years of????  Bring on Hillary if that's our option.
