The conventional wisdom here inside the beltway has shifted hard in the last 10 days. What was considered Mitt's nomination is now considered Rick Perry's to lose.
On the surface Rick Perry looks pretty darned good for the average Conservative. I've mentioned that fact here before.
Since he appears to be a serious contender I'd ask our Texans to weigh-in on the guy.
He says all the right things regarding 2A, yet in all of his time as Governor of Texas, Open Carry is still not permitted, Concealed Carry requires a license, and Gary Marbut's Firearm Freedom Act has not made it to law in Texas. Will a President Perry actively and aggressively push to recover lost ground on 2A issues? Do you see him working to repeal GCA '68 or NFA? Or, will he meet the Enemies of Liberty in the middle and compromise?
He claims he will work to repeal Obamacare, yet his website declares that he will work to modify Entitlements. Of course, that means he will not challenge the unconstitutional nature of FDR's injuries to the republic.
Is there any real chance a President Perry will make genuine Constitutionalists happy...or is he simply singing the song that the R base wants to hear?
