Conservatives have ‘a long way to go’ to win national elections, Rick Perry tells activists
Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R), onetime presidential candidate, told a gathering of conservative activists Saturday that they have a “long way to go” to win national elections.
“I woke up the morning after the election of 2012 and was feeling a bit humbled,” he told the annual meeting of the Faith and Freedom Coalition at the J.W. Marriott hotel in Washington, D.C. “It was really clear that the case we made as conservatives and, frankly, some of us as candidates, we didn’t move the majority of people in this country.”

Perry told the crowd that conservatives needed to shift their tone. “We stand for the principles that made America great,” he said. “We should exude those principles with joy. Smile when you disagree with a liberal. As Ronald Reagan said, liberals know so much that isn’t so. Our conservative convictions will win this country back if our tone shows we’re comfortable with our own ideals.”

And then in the same speech he mistook Libya for Lebanon.
This is the SAME frickin governor who VETOES an equal pay bill yet signs a worthless "Merry Christmas" rights bill. I think Perry should just take a look in the mirror if he's wondering why CONs have a "long way to go" to win elections.
But on the other hand...GOTV 2014!!!!!
