Several very good anti-illegal immigration bills were intentionally prevented from reaching the floor of the House for debate by Speaker Joe Strauss and his minions in the calendar committee.

None of this has gone on without Rick Perry's knowledge and express approval. The truth about him needs to be spread far and wide. He is NOT the conservative leader that many people think he is.

He talks like a conservative during election cycles, but acts like a statist day to day.

That's my observation of the man. In my opinion, the Texas economy has prospered in spite of him, not because of any real leadership on his part.

He's also done nothing to stem the flow of illegals invading our state. He steadfastly refuses to use the constitutional powers of his office to stop it, and in TEN YEARS, he's failed to get our legislature to produce any effective legislation to address it.

In fact, he's on record as saying that an Arizona-style anti-illegal immigration bill "is wrong for Texas."

Some conservative...
