Great post with an abundance of facts supporting a reasonable opposition to the Perry candidacy. But that won’t matter to the Perry apologists. They’ll post a list of things he has said or done that they think makes him a conservative. What they don’t get we reject any conservative who supports liberal causes. I know I could never vote for one who did.
I swear to God I almost voted against Perry when he was up against Kinky Friedman and Chris Bell.
I was unhappy about the TTC.
I considered the facts and thought, “well we could elect Kinky, and he would appoint Willy Nelson as Energy Czar, we have a strong house whats the worst that could happen? He wand willy sit in the Govs mansion smokin doobs and playin guitars while no policy moves forward”
Well, I voted Perry because the very thought of Chris “the people work for Gov” Bell turned my stomach, and guess what?
I’m GLAD I voted Perry. He dropped that TTC thing like a hot potato even though he rightfully understands that we must upgrade infrastructure in this state.
He heard us loud and clear.
Same with gardisil.
Its not easy pleasing all the people, in fact it’s impossible, but on thing Perry has demonstrated to me is that he wont shove legislation down the throats of the constituents like Obama and Pelosi have .
Sometimes I still wish we could have Cowboy hat wearin cigar smokin guitar playin folks in the executive office that arent ****ing the regular guy, but Perry will do.
