No Kaotic, this is just a narrative you constructed to help yourself avoid cognitive dissonance.

In case like Perry's I'd be inclined to overlook it, since there is no clearly wrong or right decision. But, just like Walker, Perry's core stance is fiscal responsibility/pro business. When things come out that go against such core positions I am not inclined to be forgiving.

To put it in a way you might relate. Say I got elected on pro-life platform. Then there is a scandal where I arguably abuse executive power to fund abortion clinic initiative because program director is my political ally. It just like that.
