Add to those the fact that Perry abandoned the otherwise widely supported anti-TSA groping bill and he turned all anti-states rights when New York legalized gay marriage.
Another common Tea Party member issue is his conservative Democrat roots. He won elections as a Democrat and served as Al Gore's 1988 Texas Campaign Chairman. Although I think you correctly looked past this.
Poltifact points out that it was precisely this work with Al Gore that changed Perry into a Republican, although other reports say it was purely for political reasons.
