In a speech at the Georgia Public Policy Foundation, a conservative think tank, Texas Gov. Rick Perry discussed his record on health care and the environment.

He offered few policy proposals, instead focusing on his decade-long record as Texas governor, criticizing Obama, hitting former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s health care law and opening a more aggressive line of attack on Romney’s record on climate change.

“As Republican voters decide who is best suited to lead this country in a new direction by stopping the spending spree and scrapping Obamacare, I am confident they will choose a nominee who has governed on conservative principles, not one whose health care policies paved the way for Obamacare,” Perry said. He was referring to the health care reform package recently signed into law by the president.

“I knew when I got into this race I would have my hands full fighting President Obama’s big government agenda. I just didn’t think it would be in the Republican primary,” Perry added.
