Good article. One of the rare times that the MSM has done its job. If we had reporting like this here in Texas, we would have disposed of Governor Perry years ago.
...but they’ve given him a free pass here. I guess, nationally, he’ll be called to answer for some the hair-brained schemes he’s imposed (or nearly imposed, or attempted to impose) on us.
Because we Texans are just dumbasses who can't make informed decisions but for CBS.
Texans are very aware of the "skeletons" that CBS mentions. They don't care. They voted for him, then voted for him again, then voted for him again.
Oh the humanity that he supported Giuliani over such strong republicans leaders such as John McCain and Mike Huckabee.
Oh the humanity that he issued an EO regarding HPV after the CDC recommended it. Oh the humanity that he allowed for people to not take it if they didn't want it.
Oh the humanity that he put forward an idea to modernize the transit system here in Texas, with private companies footing the bill for it rather than having to raise taxes.
The people of Texas know Perry, and are not dumbasses with their heads stuck in the sand. Is he perfect? No. Is he conservative? Yes. Will he win the nomination if he jumps in? I'm betting yes. Will he beat Obama? He'll pop him between the eyes, get him all wee-wee'd up, and then beat him like a red-headed stepchild. And he'll do it with Palin's support, the support of the GOP governors, and the already strong support he has from the Texas Tea Party.
Why is it that the only place I can find any real number of Texans who dislike Rick is on the internet? Real Texans love Rick Perry.
