Yes, I am from Texas. Some of my ancestors were born here during the Republic.

My family and Rick Perry’s family came to Haskell County before 1890. His family was here 3 years before mine who came in 1889.

I know his parents, I know his wife’s family.

Yes, he was a Dem. I have always been a Republican. A vote for Richard Nixon was the first presidential ballot I cast.

But from the Civil War/Reconstruction until the 1960’s there were very few Republican office holders in Texas. But the Dems were much much more conservative than the Republicans. FACT.

That changed when the Left succeeded in completely taking over the Dem Party. Texas is now solidly Republican.

Yes, Rick has made some bonehead calls. Guardisil and The Trans Texas mess. The others were relatively minor in comparison.

But Rick has never been a Liberal. Never.

The Dems are laughing at our reaction to their propaganda. They have a hand in this. They are screaming in laughter at our division and the name calling among us.

This has to stop. A difference in opinion is one thing, but this habit of repeating the same old lame garbage as if no one had heard it before must stop.

Keep the eye on the ball, not the shell and the pea. We have an election that we must win and we must oust the Commie Bastards who are destroying the nation.

You poor thing. :-)

I don't expect a serious answer, since this is an admittedly snarky question.

About a week or ten days ago, several sources claimed that Anita was the one who prompted or is pushing Rick's run for the Oval Office (in apparent contradiction of his promise that he would stay as Gov. if elected, and not run for the White House).

From your knowledge of the family, as a "percentage" so to speak, how true is it that she is the one driving this?

Cheers!
