I don’t know why this article touts tea party support I just read an open letter to the governor to use his powers to call another special session with tons of signatures from all kinds of Tea Party and political orgs..they will not go for zero action on immigration on TSA groping.
If anybody in TX has oil and gas revenues that require tax payments there is an attempt to derail instate tuition for illegals via a lawsuit. More plaintiffs are needed.respond to me for details.
First, the Texas governorship has limited actual authority. Most of the governor's power rests in appointments. Very little power rests in influencing legislation, except via veto or by the selection of which items to include in a special session of the legislature. Most actual power rests with the lieutenant governor. Therefore many of the accomplishments credited to Perry (or formerly credited to Bush, when he was governor) are actually largely attributable to others.
Secondly, Perry has always seemed to be more about Perry, than he has been about actually doing things for the good of the state.
Thirdly, Perry has very little international expertise or experience.
Michele Bachman seems a more sound candidate, although admittedly she is not nearly as well understood here in Texas as is Perry.
Having said all of that, I certainly would support Perry, if he were to become the nominee, as an alternative to four more years of Obama.
The MSM are desperate to head Sarah Palin off at the pass, and Perry and Bachmann are just their latest favored Judas horses to bring the Tea Party people into the RNC corral behind a traditional Ruling Class RiNO like Romney or Huntsman.
The working model right now is, build up Perry and Bachmann with a lot of press attention, to draw away support from Palin, scare her out of the race entirelys or kill the funding available for her planned campaign, and then use either or both candidates as VP nominees to bring the disaffected Tea Partiers to Romney -- "He's the best we can do, do you want four more years of Obama, the best is enemy of good enough, Daddy knows best, blah blah blah" -- all the same old garbage we heard in 2008, all over again.
