From a Conservative Blogger inside Texas, on Governor Rick Perry
He was a champion on pro-Life issues, and he never raised taxes (in a consequential manner) or made pre-K an emergency item. In partisan fights against the Democrats, he was a reliable ally. Unfortunately, both in Texas and Nationally, the most important fights are no longer with Democrats. From Austin to DC, it’s the legacy Republicans who are killing conservative public policy. Rick Perry had a terrible habit of allowing those legacy Republicans to eat his lunch. And that’s why Rick Perry’s second Presidential campaign failed to gain traction….
Perry folding to in-state establishment pressure is news to me, but seeing as the RNC needed Perry to mess up the Texas Primary for Jebby’s long night to the nomination wouldn’t keeping him on life support until after the primary be in the best interest of the legacy Republicans?
