Republicans have a 101-49 supermajority in the House and a 19-12 majority in the Senate. This being special session, a simple majority is all that is needed.

This could be Perry’s ticket to the White House.

Ah, Gov. Goodhair gets religion.

[isthisnickcool]

Years overdue. Where has he been for years and years? Don’t be fooled. As we Texans that know Texas politics know he is a RINO.

Rick Perry has been and always be the douche you have to vote for instead of whatever turd sandwich he happens to running against. Perry will only run if that is the case. He is a lazy opportunist.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I know one knock on Perry is that he was soft on amnesty earlier. He changed his position and got a lot tougher. I’m a lot less suspect of this change than old Flip Flop Romney’s flip flops. Perry acknolwedged that he changed and is backing up his words with action. I’m getting dangerously close to supporting Perry if he jumps in but I’m still on the fence until I hear more about him.

He’s still a douche. What about the TSA?

[dforest]

Perry is going to run. I don’t know when the legislature’s session is done, but he is going to run.

I'm glad to see he's given us one out of three, but as I said in another thread, I'm withholding judgement until I see what he does with the TSA bill and the campus carry bill. If he backs up all of his strong talk with action, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he's sincere in his beliefs and that he has the courage to lead. But if he takes the politically expedient route and lets those two crucial issues die, I'm going to have a hard time seeing him as much more than a political opportunist. Sanctuary cities is an important bill, but it's definitely the least-controversial of those three conservative agenda items.
