He is also a possible presidential candidate. I would like feedback on what freepers think about him.
Perry attempted to confiscate 600+ thousand acres of private farm and ranch land passed down for generations, claiming imminent domain so he could build his NAFTA superhighway from Mexico. Commonly known as the Trans-Texas Corridor.
Plans were also in the works to build a deep sea port down in Mexico to circumvent American workers for cheaper Mexican workers.
Then loading cheap Chinese cargo onto Mexican trucks and roll’em throughout our land. Mexican labor, Mexican safety standards, Mexican corruption along with it.
This would put thousands of dock workers, truckers and all manner of support positions out of work.
For President?
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
No. No. No.
Very much a lightweight in every respect of the term
He’d be just fine as president. I know there are some, who since,they ,themselves can’t be governor will never be happy with anyone. But Rick’s been there a long while, and in that long while, he’s done very little to annoy me. And, for the most part, Texas is doing lots better than some of the other states. Governors can’t always make states prosper, true, but they can screw things up. And he hasn’t done that.
Some folks try to hammer him on the immigration issue, but the other border states have an even bigger problem with it. That needs to be addressed at the federal level. (unless we secede,and I don’t see that yet)
This is something, I feel, most Texans would agree with.
As far as Perry, under his leadership, Texas is still a Red state, hasn’t submitted to Socialist rule and we have billions in the bank.
Presidential? I can’t say.
