I do not agree that Rick Perry has said anything out of the ordinary. He has spoken the truth on most issues. I would agree he needs to tone down some of the firebrand but at least he speaks directly to his beliefs.

There are two competing cartels in Mexico that are creating havoc along the borders and into the USA. Perry's suggestion of aiding Mexico with troops is what we may need. Certainly it will curtail drugs being brought to the US

His statement suggesting social security is a ponzi scheme is correct. He never said he would dump it. he did say he would make adjustments which is what this program needs

His approach at helping young women deter cervical cancer may have been wrong but was done with good intentions.

I do not know if Perry will be my choice but I do believe that any Republican candidate that has an appreciable chance of defeating Obama will continue being diabolically attacked by liberals often with misinformation or down right lies. What I do believe is that any Republican candidate running will beat Obama
