Mr Perry, a failed presidential candidateI believe he is also a very successful Governor of a large state. But, hey, let's not get in the way of liberal editorializing in what is, supposedly, a news story.
To: Nachum
...is facing pressure from fellow Republicans to drop his opposition to accepting billions of dollars in federal funds under the Obamacare... "Federal funds" is commie 'RAT newspeak for STOLEN TAXPAYER DOLLARS.

Doesn’t that “failed candidate” stuff gall you? Do they refer to AlGore that way? Do we hear “John Kerry, failed candidate and Secretary of State”?

No doubt FT similarly reminds their readers that Hillary, Kerry, Biden and Gore are also members of the failed presidential candidates club.

Poor Perry isn't even allowed to secure his own borders, so he's forced to offer in-state tuition for illegals.
Now he's facing pressure from his fellow Republicans to drop his opposition to accepting billions of dollars in federal funds under the Obamacare reforms and extend health insurance to 1.5m of the states poorest citizens.
Darn Republicans... It's a shame the governor is just a powerless bystander.
It's just heartless....

Mr Perry, a failed presidential candidate who has not ruled out running again in 2016, ... may face Hillary Clinton (another failed candidate) in a possible 2016 matchup.

For those of us who do not wish to sign up and either publish articles or ante up $ every month, could you please just summarize any other important info from this article.
I would be most interested in seeing the names of these “Republicans” that are pressuring him and does this article come from a credible source.

This should be the issue we find out who is right about him, his critics or his supporters.
I'd like to believe his supporters are, as it would help to explain the exodus to Texas. Might need a place to go myself.

It's a shame the governor is just a powerless bystander. Well, actually, in Texas politics, the governor sets the agenda and doesn't do much other than that. There are other powerful positions in state government that can block the governor's agenda if it doesn't suit them.
Not that I'm a great Gov. Perry fan.

I found this from Drudge's link (no payment required ;)...
John Zerwas, Texas State rep, is who's "pressuring" Perry.
Ted Cruz is still against any Medicaid expansion.

“.......But that position is being challenged not only by public interest groups and the hospital industry.....”
Self serving industries! What a surprise!
“According to an analysis by the states former budget estimator, expanding Medicaid would cost Texas $15bn over 10 years, but would open the door to $100bn in new federal funds over that period.”
Whadda bunch of bullshit! IS THAT $100BN in the bank? YOU Really trust OBAMA!? It’s lucy and the football with that bastard.
Stick with what you are doing Governor Perry. Don’t give the self serving SOB’s an inch.
HAPPY EASTER!

Greg Abbott is nothing more than a kiss ass. He will say anything and do anything to get elected. I don’t know where you got that Don’t Tread pict, but it’s total fabrication. Abbott hates the Tea Party. He lost to Cruz.
