AUSTIN – Kay Bailey Hutchison slammed Rick Perry's decision four months ago to reject $555 million in economic stimulus money to help the unemployed, saying Friday that it was "reckless" and showed a lack of both leadership and judgment.
"This is yet another Rick Perry disaster," Hutchison said in a written statement.
When she was first asked about the governor's decision in March to turn down the money, she gently chastised him for not coming up with a better solution.
Perry spokesman Mark Miner said the senator has not been clear on where she stands.
"She's playing a game of Washington politics, and that's not going to play here in Texas. She's taken several positions on the same issue," Miner said.

Truer Words. Never spoken.
I know a number of people and some family members who reside in various ones.
For the most part, they are NOT RINOs, except for one or two. One is a woman who is very pro-KBH and despises Perry. I know that he's another wussie but certainly preferable to KBH any day!
You are correct. I vowed I’d not vote for Rick Perry again. But I’m NOT voting for a Democrat, and I’m NOT voting for Kay. We’ll see who’s on the ballot when the time comes.
Yes, that’s impressive. I think we should congratulate the those who realized that this amendment gives legal basis for rejection of Obama’s anti-Constitutionalism.
KBH doesn’t “get it”.
She doesn’t understand that the fedgov is not supposed to be a big, benevolent being that hands out goodies.
Also, those goodies always come with strings.
Always.
They both stink. Posers.
Same here.
“As much as I can’t stomach Perry, KBH is far worse.”
Agreed. Perry strikes me as an arrogant, narcissistic boob with no real convictions, but at least he is trying to run to Kay Baby’s right.
Kay Baby must be hoping that many Democrats will vote in the Republican primary. Otherwise, she would stay in the Senate.
This Texan will be voting for Perry warts and all. I don’t like that he tried to force Gardisil on pre-teen girls and tried to let a company in Spain build and run the TTC. Still he is far better for Texas than KBH. The last straw was when KBH was at a women’s forum with Hillary Clinton in Dallas a few months ago.
Perry has never acted to stop the flow of illegals into Texas. If he is serious though about exempting Texas from Obamacare, I have to vote for him.
I wouldn’t vote for KBH if she was the last person to vote for on earth.
I do not intend to take your thread off topic, but I need to solicit some opinions from the txgov2010 ping list on whether or not an article like this is directly related to the governor’s race and should be pinged or if it’s just typical mud slinging in preparation for actual campaigning and should not be pinged. Thanks in advance for your patience.
Please let me know if this article does or does not fit the purpose of our txgov2010 ping list. If you're indifferent, no need to respond. If you have a strong opinion one way of the other, please speak up so I can gauge what we're looking for in the way of campaign news.
Thanks,
Tex
Freepmail me or ping me from the original thread to get on/off the 2010 Texas Governor's Race ping list.
Fits. No question.
KBH gone nuts ping.
“So, they pretend to be conservative”
You’ve got that right. KBH seemed sorta, kinda conservative a few years back, but I think it was definitely not real, and she has shown her true colors more and more the last couple of years.
KBH is terrible and liberal and stupid and bad for Texas. I rest my case.
This article is a great example to keep us Texans informed. I recently sent two letters to KBH and after a long time, I received back a form letter that had nothing to do with the issues I addressed.
I told her if she didn’t sponsor or join a bill for term limits or if she took lobby money from any source or voted for a health care plan other than one she and all gov. employees joined, that I would vote against her and all incumbents who did likewise.
Back in Clinton’s day I wrote her a blistering letter because she did not stand up to him on bombing the Serbs. Is it verified that she plans on running for Gov? Inquiring minds want to know.
I think she plans to make her formal announcement next month, but yes, it’s pretty much confirmed. She has a $12.5 million war chest at this point, most of which she transferred from her federal senate campaign funds.
I asked for a refund of my senate donations. She’s not using my senate donation for governor. Forget that.
Kay Bailey Hutchison, the pro-abortion, pro-pornography, senator from American Airlines should have been sent packing long ago.
