All right. I read the links and did learn a couple of things. Thank you. But here’s what bothers me. Perry did not conceive of this thing, congress did. They passed in pieces beginning in, I believe, 1991. Bush signed it in 2002. This was the I69 portion and federally mandated. Perry’s part in this was bringing in “arms” of this I69 corridor, which as your article states, both the legislature and voters approved. The thing didn’t become a disaster until TXdot staked it out and farmers realized eminent domain was going to walk all over them. How is this Perry’s fault? I also saw in the article where it wasn’t the issue it is today until RINO Kay Bailey Hutchinson — who approved the thing from Washington (right?) — campaigned against PERRY on it...and lost. What am I missing here?
I would think that you would be claiming something that Perry did made him presidential, but instead you folks run from everything he’s ever done.
Why list it all again? He wasn’t responsible for it anyway.
If he introduced it, it wasn’t really his idea. If he went to Israel and came back not understanding the benefit of a wall, it’s just a natural thing to do. If he travels down to Mexico and says he favors open borders, it wasn’t what he really meant. If he was prepared to take over 70,000 acres from Texas land owners, it was Washington’s fault. If he issued the Gardasil Executive Order, it really didn’t kill anyone that we know of, so it was okay.
DRey, your comments ultimate reflect the reality that you really don’t hold Perry accountable for much of anything.
What a resounding endorsement.
