Texas Gov. Rick Perry isn't immune from your typical American's fear over their job security in this economy. Right now, in fact, it seems as if he might be out of a job pretty soon, as Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison looks set to mount a primary challenge against him next year, and early polls show her in the lead. So he's been working hard on his appeal to the right lately, rejecting some stimulus money (and fighting with Hutchison over it), talking with Glenn Beck and, now, appealing directly to the fringe.
Last week, Perry announced his support for a non-binding resolution currently under consideration in the Texas House that says the federal government has overstepped the authority granted to it under the Constitution, and is trampling on the powers reserved for the states, especially as enumerated in the 10th Amendment.
“Millions of Texans... are tired of Washington, D.C. trying to come down here and tell us how to run Texas," Perry said at a press conference about his decision. "The 10th Amendment was enacted by folks who remembered what it was like to have a very oppressive government, to be under the thumb of tyrants in an all-powerful government. Unfortunately, the protections it guarantees have melted away over the course of the years... I believe the federal government has become oppressive. I believe it's become oppressive in its size, its intrusion into the lives of its citizens, and its interference with the affairs of our state.”

Of course to a left-wing communist we normal Americans that embrace God, the Constitution and traditional American values would be fringe radicals.

Yeah this is desperate screeching out of fear and I say we embrace the derogatory comments they make because it defuses their lack of an argument.
BTW Doesn’t a fringe generally surround something?
Enraging liberals is simply one of the more enjoyable side effects of my wisdom.

I will give you three guesses as to which US Senator from TEXAS voted to increase the Hussien Obama’s private army from 75,000 to 250,000. I will give you a hint: It was NOT Senator John Cornyn.
LOL! THE *FRINGE* SHALL RISE AGAIN!!!
So, where is this *army*?
Gov. Perry will not be out of a job if KBH is looking for this Texan's vote!
Liberals seem to assume that, if you don’t believe in their particular political solutions, then you don’t really care about the people that they claim to want to help.

Oh, God. Perry v. Hutchinson. Another devil and the deep blue sea moment to look forward to.
Yeah, I wouldn't start picking out the curtains, if I were Kay. Too many of us in Texas ain't all that thrilled with her.
And, Gov. Goodhair of late is trying to be a real Republican again.
There's lotsa time between now and this election. Lots can happen.
Nobody ever said liberals/socialists had any sense!
My thoughts exactly!
I’m sure they have the Texas ACORN team ready to go. They are all set to bring on the voter intimidation and fraud. They are trying to mess with the red states.
How exactly is Hutchison expecting to run and win against Perry in the primary? She’s a moderate Republican who has supported abortion. Where is there room for her to run in the GOP primary in Texas? Seems to me, Perry has done a fine job.
I think KBH may be the only way to get the bastard out. Her or voting secessionist party.
Hey Alex...F...U!!!
Put that in yer peace pipe and smoke it...asshat...
K. B. Hutchison will not get my native Texan vote. It’s not that Gov. Perry has done such a wonderful job as governor, but KBH is a closet RINO. Her votes on abortion hint to her leanings. She can flop either way on most issues.
