3:48 p.m.: Rick Perry says Romney and McCain aren’t conservatives

Texas Gov. Rick Perry took a shot at his former GOP presidential primary opponent, saying that Mitt Romney’s presidential loss says nothing about conservatism because Romney isn’t a conservative.

“The popular media narrative is that this country has shifted away from conservative ideals, as evidenced by the last two presidential elections. That’s what they say,” Perry said. “That might be true if Republicans had actually nominated conservative candidates in 2008 and 2012.”

Romney’s campaign was tough on Perry during the 2012 race, viewing him as its most significant obstacle to the nomination and attacking him accordingly on issues like Perry’s support for in-state tuition for the children of illegal immigrants.

Romney will address CPAC on Friday afternoon. McCain is not scheduled to speak.

They actually still think trickle down economics, doubling down on the military and gutting everything else will solve all our ills. Reaganomics worked cause it was the necessary medicine for the time yet he would be far from what Perry considers a conservative of today. The GWB years were a total disaster and would have ended in an even worse crisis if he was a true conservative like Perry.
