Is Gov. Rick Perry a Rino?
7/8/10 | antidemoncrat

Posted on 07/08/2010 6:17:54 PM PDT by antidemoncrat

So answer this questions for me. This Spring I voted for what I thought was a Conservative Republican for Governor of Texas. Now I find out that Gov. Perry has joined the Democratic Governors of California, New Mexico, and some governors of Mexico in opposing Arizona's SB1070 I cannot decide whether to vote for a Rino or a Democrat who is not afraid of his political affiliations. Since I haven't voted for a Democrat since 1964, should I just not vote for anyone this fall?

I have posted this on Gov. Perry's web site tonight. I'm betting I won't get a response to this. I'm also wondering if the Trans Texas Corridor is a s dead as TxDOT claims it is.

Is the Pope a Catholic?

Maybe he is unaware that Republican dominance in Texas is due to the GOP routinely winning over 70% of the white vote, not their doing a little better with Hispanics than Republicans do in California.

Perry is a shameless political panderer with few core principles.

He successfully and convincingly tacked to the right to beat KBH in the primary.

Then he wasted no time veering back to the squishy middle and began pandering for the Mexican vote with an eye toward the general election.

I’ll vote for him in November, but not with pleasure — only because he’s DEFINITELY the lesser of the evils.

“I have posted this on Gov. Perry’s web site tonight. I’m betting I won’t get a response to this. I’m also wondering if the Trans Texas Corridor is a s dead as TxDOT claims it is.”

To seriously answer you question, Yes, Perry IS a RINO. He is a RINO that has his sights set on a possible Presidential run in 2012.

As it sits right now, I am almost tempted to vote for Howdy Doodie (bill white) in November, just to be shut of Goodhair and his RAT roots.

Given that you voted in ‘64, you’re my elder, but I’ve never voted for a democrat and I intend to die with that perfect voting record.

If you vote for a dem, you are a fool. I support the AZ law, but it’s hardly a litmus test. This mid year election is important, as this will effect re-apportionment.
Also, if dems win some, it will only embolden them to push for more lib policies. Lastly, Perry is far more conservative than any dem.

I am no longer sure of that.

Howdy Doodie (bill white) is looking better every day.

And, make no mistake about it, I am 100% conservative.

At least bill white is honest about being a Stroker suck up. Goodhair ain’t that honest.

He is an Open borders rino like marco rubio the faux T-party candidate. Crist is a drag queen.

What I do know for sure is that Rick Perry has never committed a courageous act. He has, on occassion, done the right thing for personal political gain, but not supporting Arizona’s governor in a “no brainer” is beyond the pale.

American elections are often the evil of two lessers.

Nah, lame as Governor Goodhair may be, I’m certain Bill White is NOT the answer to Texas’ problems.

Can you say “state income tax”?

NO ‘RATS.
