[Cincinatus' Wife]

“Critics rip Perry’s vaccine mandate”: It was always an option. It wasn’t approved.

“Perry’s Trans-Texas Corridor plan is a hard sell:” It wasn’t done. The people were heard. As always.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Perry backed them hard though and completely ignored or dismissed the complaints of his constituents. The people were only heard through the State Legislature which pulled the rug out from under him.

Sorry, no, Perry is just another big government Republican in the Bush mold, and a slippery one at that.

The people were not “heard”. Texans prevailed over Goodhair’s dead (politically speaking) body in an expensive battle that dragged through the courts and finally manifested in enough ire for even democrats to give the legislature to Perry's conservative republican rivals.

Goodhair was bought, and he stayed bought throughout the fiasco.

Neither you nor anyone else are selling anyone the ludicrous assertion that he simply gave up on it - it was put down with him kicking and screaming to the end.
