On Feb. 9, Perry launched the state-directed "Operation Rio Grande," which involves shifting Texas Department of Public Safety officers and state equipment to the border.

Hope it works better than "Operation Safe Mexico" has.

Gov. Perry has it within his power to activate the Texas State Guard and send them to the border. He could send the Rangers. He could raise more hell with Washington over the Federal Government not doing their job.

But he won't. Only the powerless care. The powerful benefit.

I've got a better idea. Ft Hood has the 2nd Armored Division. Let's stick THEM on the border with no ROE restrictions.

If Perry is opening his "pretty boy yap" New Taxes are on the agenda, if not Taxes it will be new Regulations that will enrich his Insurance buddies or some other way to extract more money from Texans.

Perry is NOT a Conservative, he is as Liberal as Hillary, he Loves Big Government and will embrace any Eminent Domain Case especially if it works in favor of his Toll Road super highway (to be named after him sometime in the future)

I wish we had someone to run against him.

TT
