This thing has been making the rounds of conservative sites. It was written by a school friend of Hillary Clinton. That will ensure that I totally ignore the piece. I lived in TX, and have voted for Perry three times and will do so again. He is a good Governor and will be a good President. Liberals seem to be posting this over and over. Guess they realize that Perry will beat Obama.

"Today, we have billions in surplus," he says in a TV ad that debuted Monday.

Yeah, well it don’t change the facts that RICK is a RINO
