The unfortunate fact is that Perry and Obama have a lot more in common than either would like to admit. They both think theyre smarter than the laws of economics and that they make wiser choices than markets do. And they both see taxpayer money as a giant trough for feeding their political pals. Perry is actually truthful about this, sort of. I am a pro-business governor, he told Time magazine last week. I will be a pro-business president. What he means is that hes pro-certain-businesses, the ones run by his friends.
As governor of Texas, Perry controls hundreds of millions of dollars in state handouts to corporations for job creation and economic development. Not surprisingly, it turns out that the funds are especially good at developing one particular sector of the Texas economy: Perrys campaign funds.

RINO’s are always in favor of redistibution of wealth. They just want it to come from the bottom up, I guess that’s why they’re called bottom feeders.
Ricardo Perry ping.
We’re all thinking of something to say.
“To deal with troublesome property owners who didnt want to sell, Perry persuaded the legislature to pass a new form of eminent domain known as quick-claim, in which the state could have seized any land it wanted with just 90 days of notice, then negotiate the price later.”
The RINO Rick-Bots will even love this one.
And the article does not even mention that RIckey The RINO gave 250 million of tax payer money to a European Socialist to build a race track in Texas.
I hear he ‘threatened’ Bernanke today.
Don’t you just want to swoon over him and his dreamy hair.
Do you have any links for that please? That bothers me more than anything else that bothers me about Perry.
Excellent!
What really stinks is how hard-core the leftist media is going after him. I had the displeasure to watch MSNBC for a bit earlier today and it was laughable how they were going after him. That tells me something there. They are scared their chosen one can be beat by Perry
The proper term for that is "corrupt".

Re 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
Oh, boy. I am sure that we will soon hear the *real* truth about this. Any minute now.
Perry is like Bush43 - putting the interests of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Mexico ahead of what’s best for the country.
But wait! Was there an opt out clause?
Let’s face it Obama has been such a horribly poor leader a trained monkey could beat him at this point.
The more they learn about Perry, the more constitutional conservatives are attacking Perry too.
