My view is Texans don't have much say in his state races. Senor Ricky gets away with mucho BS in Texas. Cattle country doesn't demand veracity...or much else...from its elected officials.
Gov Perry's ongoing suckups to illegals raise serious questions about his curious string of unbroken elections wins.
QUESTIONS PERRY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO ANSWER
<><> Have you made deals with illegal aliens (1) to exchange campaign cash and votes for gratuities, (2) to use your office to get illegals US govt handouts?
<><> Did you promise illegals tax paid-free education, EITC, welfare, food stamps, UI, SS, SSI, healthcare, sub-prime mortgages, subsidized bank loans in exchange for votes?
<><> Do you know this is a felony?
<><> Do you know which identity illegals use to register to vote for you?
<><> Do you know illegals who qualify for Texas in-state tuition may also be eligible for state aid?
<><> Do you know that ‘state aid’ to illegals is paid for by American citizens?
===========================================
Perry has a curious string of unbroken wins in Texas that would be hard to achieve elsewhere....plus a mighty presidential war chest of million and millions of dollars, apparently accumulated when he said he WAS NOT running for president.
Watching him in action, I get the feeling Texans don't have much say in the matter of Perry being elected governor.......and he's climbing over the backs of Americans to achieve his presidential ambitions.
BACKSTORY Perry did not officially enter the Iowa straw poll......but he calculatedly timed throwing his hat in the ring on the same day Bachman won the Iowa straw poll----stomping all over Bachman's hard-won victory.
Perry cunningly manipulated the Iowa vote from Texas. That strategy was supposed to put him over the top. Instead he got a pathetic 700-800 write-ins ...while Iowa winners who did the right thing-—spending time and money there-—— got 4000 votes each.
The Perrydactyl's were cued to "say" Ricky won Iowa. And there Perry was----front and center---waving to Iowans, taking pics in front of prominent Iowa banners---manipulating the media to make it look like he was the winner.
The winner in his own mind.
