Perry is not as conservative as people seem to think.
Thank God we have a Constitutionally weak Governor
Florida Gov. Rick Scott: Unknown baldy business exec who won GOP primary in a huge upset and now in the first term of his first political office.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry: Perfected groomed good-haired Governor who always wins predictable victories against laughable opponents and has been a career politician.
Might as well do an article comparing all the similarities of Congressman Ron Paul and Congressman Alan Greyson. Let's see... ummm they're both anti-war, right? Wow, practically twins!
>Perry is not as conservative as people seem to think.
Well, he didn’t cave in to obama’s commands that he not execute a mexican killer. Perry still executed the illegal alien mofo. Maybe he hates obama more so he did it, who knows..
I am glad the Pardons & Parole Commission didn’t cave in to the pressure.
All Perry could have done is given the fool a 30-day reprieve
“Florida Gov. Rick Scott: Potential Perry backer in 2012 presidential race; Texas Gov. Rick Perry: Potential 2012 presidential candidate.”
I’d much rather have Scott.
Yeah, but usama killed BinLaden, all by himself.
Clearly, Open-border RINO Perry has much to answer for.
Did they mandate Gardasil by the Governor's Executive Order
in Florida, like RINO Perry did in Texas?
An excerpt from an article on that very subject:
"Government textbooks and the Texas Constitution say that ours is a weak-governor state. A strict constructionist would insist that the governors power is largely limited to making appointments to state boards and commissions and to vetoing bills. In practice, the political power of the governor has expanded dramatically over the past four decades. Governor Perry has upended the political culture by establishing what amounts to a cabinet form of government.
The governors office isnt just a power center; it is the power center. Every high-level appointee answers to Perry. Every agency head answers to Perry. He is able to dominate the Legislature in ways no governor before him did. Perrys will to power has reshaped the traditional leadership roles. Before he came along, it was acknowledged that the lieutenant governor was the states most powerful official.
This situation is not entirely of Perrys making. The cultural change that paved the way for the governors office to become
the power center of state government was the arrival of two prominent politicians. These were, of course, Ann Richards and George W. Bush, our first modern celebrity governors."
I wonder if this moron journalist realizes that Florida led the nation in job creation last month? 28,000 jobs created in Florida, making it more than the rest of the country combined.
From the article:
“Florida Gov. Rick Scott: Led the nation in job creation in May; Texas Gov. Rick Perry: Led the nation in job creation for seven years. “
