We were all supposed to buy the tall Texas tale that Al Gore's former state chairman and before that, one of Jimmy Carter's county chairmen, was a genuine conservative. The Perry team spent more time in New York raising money than in Iowa telling his story because they thought enough ads could make Iowans believe what never was. When that failed, Bill Bennett and other self-appointed elders of the Republican Party began a frantic search for a substitute. But Newt Gingrich proved an even harder sell. It takes time; truth is the daughter of time, but the good sense of middle America has sorted out the pretenders from the genuine, principled conservative, Rick Santorum. As in 1980 when the Republican establishment thought George H. W. Bush would be more electable than Ronald Reagan, the establishment will be taught once again that character and principle are actually good politics.
Happy trails, good riddance and thank you, Iowa. The news stories from a single news cycle reflect what a very cynical and insulting candidacy is Rick Perry's. It took no more than one debate to expose this fraudulent conservative.
