I can see how TEA Party folks might cotton to Rick quite easily...

‘At the school, from which Mr Perry graduated third in a class of 13 in 1968, Don Ballard, the school superintendent, reflected on the place that had made Mr Perry what he is.

“We had farm values,” he said “We got up, we worked and we knew what the dollar meant. There was no squandering money here there and yonder. Everybody struggled.

“Everybody struggled. You’d have a good crop one year and maybe a bad crop the next. Rick Perry understands being up and being down and that if you’re down you’ve got to work to get back up. Most of the families round here want their kids to be better and have more than what they had growing up.” ‘

“We had farm values,” he said

I wonder if Rick Perry took his "farm values" with him when he auditioned for those One-World-Government Kingmakers -- The Bilderberg Group -- in Istanbul Turkey, 2007?
