I can understand not being enthusiastic about Perry. I agree his debate performances were poor and some of his immigration positions are not very good, but he is mostly very conservative and is a 3 term governor with a proven track record of actually being able to win elections.
Proven track record on winning elections? He had no Republican challenger in 2002, in 2006 his closest challenger in the primary was a secessionist who didn't crack 10% of the vote, and while Perry ran away with the general election with 39% of the vote, jump ahead to 2010 and Perry faces...Kay Bailey Hutchison and then a Clinton insider. Perry has had it easy.
Today is my grandchild's birthday, and I'd like to remind people that for 7 years, under Rick Perry, the State of Texas collected DNA from children without the consent or knowledge of parents. This was above and beyond the blood tests that are taken - this was the storing of DNA samples of millions of babies. The state knew it was wrong - they asked Texas A&M not to publicly mention it because they knew there would be a public outcry. What did Rick Perry do when the public discovered? He remained silent and let the state spend taxpayer money trying to fight the lawsuits before quickly settling.

That is in my opinion a capital offense.
Hitler in Texas.
And then he has the nerve to pretend to be a Christian.

Do you have a link for that?
The only DNA collection in Texas at Texas A&M I know of is for people who have committed a crime.
Only criminals dna are collected at Texas A&M as far as I know.
Please prove your assertion.
