Nice.
Maybe there are 2 good candidates for this race.
I think it’s becoming more clear that Perry will be the GOP presidential nominee. That being the case, I certainly hope that we all unite and support him. Let’s not forget who the real enemy is.
A freight train, heading west of Salina on a moonless morning, 2:00 AM. The smell of sage through the window on a summer night.
A lone tumbleweed rolling down a deserted main street.
Crickets chirping their brave call with the only other sound, blades of Johnson grass and corn spears rattling in the slight wind.

So? But, how many times did he take the Obambam route and vote Present?
—He angered state doctors when he killed a bill that would have forced insurers to pay doctors more promptly. Another controversial piece of legislation he vetoed was one that would have prohibited the execution of mentally retarded criminals.—
I agree with Perry on both of those.
Since Obama can’t defend his record, he’s got to attack the other candidate.
I have my doubts Perry can win in 2012.
From here it looks like he will win the nomination, though.
If it’s any consolation, Obama’s record means we’ll have the Senate, and that should defang Obama. (Except for what he can do to SCOTUS in another 4 years.)
Rick Perry is for sale:
Perry racked up $1.2 million in campaign donations in the period after the session ended (state law at the time forbade legislators and state officeholders from accepting donations when the legislature was in session) but before the veto period had concluded. Perry hauled in $175,000 the first day after the session ended, the majority from members of Texans for Lawsuit Reform. That group opposed four bills — and Perry vetoed all of them, a decision that did not go unnoticed by Texas media.
No thanks

Here is a real time article out of Lubbock. 2001.

AUSTIN {AP}— Gov. Rick Perry’s decision to veto 82 bills in June may have drawn criticism from Democrats but it has helped him shore up support among his conservative base.
An Austin American-Statesman review of the more than 500 letters and e-mails that the governor has received on the vetos show that conservatives lined up behind his decisions to ax bills on everything from Medicaid to the Permanent School Fund.”
