Most of the opposition to Perry comes from one issue mushheads or folks who don’t understand how our state government works. He has been a Great Governor and that’s why he keeps getting re-elected by the good folks of this great state. BTW..he is a Veteran (C-130 pilot)so he wouldn’t have to be taught to salute....
Garbage.
Sorry to be rude, but what you write just isn’t true.
The only reason Perry keeps getting re-elected is because Texas is so strongly conservative/Republican that the weak Dems can’t field a good candidate.
Please recall that in the 2006 race, he faced a weak Dem legislator and two independents (Kinky Friedman, the jokester, and Carol Keeton Strayhorn Rylander, etc. etc, who billed herself as “one tough grandma.) Seriously.
And he only got 39% of the vote, which was enough to keep him in office.
Texas is doing better than most other states because we have a pro-business, independent, less-government-is-best-government mentality, with a weak governor and a legislature that only meets for a few months every two years.
We’re doing well in most respects because Perry has very little power.The passion for Perry is coming from outside Texas because he looks good and talks good. But they don’t know him by his deeds.
We do.
