God bless Gov. Rick Perry. As a Texan currently in a new location (once a true Texan, always a Texan), I miss the great state of Texas more and more each day. So many people out there are fearful of calling a spade a spade. But, not Gov. Perry.

I feel your pain - you can take the girl outta Texas but you can’t take Texas outta the girl!
Rick Perry isn’t my favorite, but he annoys the heck outta my yellow dog democrat brother in south Texas.
He’s speaking the truth!
No thanks to Rick the RINO Perry.
Two years ago I swore an oath to God I would never vote for him again.
I unlike RINO Rick, understand an oath.
He did this in 2005 with our marriage amendment, standing up to the most vile, vitriolic, hateful homosexualists to say "try another state if you don't like traditional marriage." He took a lot of lumps, but our marriage amendment passed by over 76%.
Now and then Perry is on target, and this speech was a bulleye.
"Adios, MoFo!"
Perry has my vote. Kay B.H. has been in D. C. waay too long and she’s not to be trusted as a Conservative. She wants to be queen of Texas. Perry is not perfect but he’ s better than “don’t get in between a camera and KBH.”
Perry was the very first person Sarah Palin endorsed (after she quit as governor). The two have some sort of friendship going on.
I expect Perry to be Palin’s running mate when she runs for President.
Google him....
Out of the box, knows how to cut spending, and would carry Michigan.
My gnomes tell me water cooler talk is folks are asking does he have a political future.
Feds Have Built Only 32 Miles of 700 Mile Double-Border Fence Originally Mandated by Congress
“One reason DHS has been able to do this is an amendment that Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R.-Texas) slipped into an omnibus appropriations bill that Congress passed on December 18, 2007. Hutchison’s amendment put a loophole in the fence law that allowed the secretary of Homeland Security not to build the fence Congress had mandated the year before.”

REMEMBER THIS WHEN YOU VOTE FOR GOVERNOR
Texas GOP Gov. Rick Perry accused President Barack Obama on Wednesday of “punishing” Texas and being “hell-bent” on turning the United States into a socialist country.
Speaking at a luncheon for a Midland County Republican Women’s group, Perry said that “this is an administration hell-bent toward taking American towards a socialist country. And we all don’t need to be afraid to say that because that’s what it is.”
Perry praised the tea party movement to the Republican activists in attendance, crediting the grassroots groups with discouraging some Democrats in Washington from pushing for a public option in the health care bill.
“If you all think those tea parties didn’t work, then let me tell you something,” Perry said. “When they all came home in August for those town hall meetings, they got an earful. Then they went back to Washington, D.C. and the Senate voted that public option down in committee with a majority of Democrats in the Senate.”
Perry also accused the Obama administration of intentionally dumping illegal immigrants from other western states in Texas, recalling a conversation he had with local officials notifying him that illegal aliens that were caught in Nogales, Arizona were being dropped off by federal authorities in Presidio, Texas.
“Friday a week ago, I got not a phone call from Washington, not a letter from Washington and as a matter of fact, I don’t think any member of our congressional delegation was even notified. The first time we were contacted was by the superintendent of the school and the county judge of Presidio County,” Perry said.
“They said, ‘do you all know what’s fixing to happen?’ I said, ‘well, no. What’s going on?’ They said ‘the government has just called us and said for us to get ready for an influx of illegal aliens who were captured illegally crossing the border.’”
“It’s called the alien transfer-and-exit program,” Perry told the crowd, “trucking them from Nogales, past El Paso down to our western border in Presidio.”
The Texas governor said he sees the action as “punishing this state” and urged the assembled Republicans to “stand up” to Washington.
“I say it’s time to make tea parties twice as big as what they were,” Perry declared. “I think it’s time for us to stand up and say to Washington, D.C. that we are no longer going to accept that kind of stuff sitting down and being quiet.”
