Perry refuses to acknoledge this fact---keeps making up more excuses for his monumental failures.
At least two of the most savage drug cartels are operating in Texas. In Austin, not far from Perry in the state capitol, the savage Los Zetas have established a drug distribution stronghold----without interference from Texas L/E.
================================================
Perry is oblivious to that fact that voters are wary of a losing candidate with money to burn. Perry’s deluge of Fox ads News cost him $975,000; he’s spent $2.8 million on ads the last few weeks alone, begging for support in Iowa, NH and SC.......far more than any other candidate in the race.
Perry has engineered the losingest strategy in presidential politics, to date: personally insulting and demeaning the people he needs to vote for him; cueing his supporters to insult and demean them; showing his contempt for the process. And he has the gall to ask for support?
Perry’s three ads — a bio spot, an anti-Obama spot, and even one stupidly characterizing himself as an “outsider” —— are ludicrous.
============================================
All of Perry’s moves show his utter contempt for voters and for the American electoral process. Long past time for a candidate polling in single digits to wake up to reality and go home.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For Perry-—it’s been downhill ever since the debates. (1) Perry has been raising money for years to run; he entered the race with three PACs (that we know of)......teeming with money.
(2) Perry cunningly did not actually enter the first contest-—the Iowa Straw Poll——instead he calculatedly manipulated the vote from Texas. That was supposed to take him over the top. He got a pathetic 700 write-ins——but there he was front and center, posing in front of Iowa banners-—waving the victory sign——as if he was the winner.
Perry stomped all over Bachmann’s first place win with 4000 votes. MB worked long and hard and spent money in the state.”Team player” Perry threw his hat in the very day Bachmann won-—stopping her hard-earned momentum.

Due to his debating fiascos, Perry went from top dog to gutter turd in no time flat.
It is not the job of the Gov of Texas to secure the national border.
But he tries regardless off the federal governments interference.
Where is your criticism of Brewer and Martinez, or Jerry Brown?
We Texans have spent over $400 million the past few years to secure the border which, as you know, is the federal government's responsibility. When states have tried to pass laws they are in turn sued by the Obama administration.
So tell us specifically what you have done to secure the border except sit at a computer and bad-mouth Texas, Texans and our governor?
Why should we protect your sorry rear?
It never ceases to amaze that you people who live in non-border states think you have all the answers and that we aren't as concerned as you ignorant baffoons are!

That is absolute bunk. You spout that off without any research. As Part of Operation Wrangler Governor Perry order 600 additional National Guardsmen to the border with an an operational cost of $134 million per year of which Texas paid $100 million and Arizona paid $34 million costing the tax payer of TEXAS $400 million and the tax payers of ARIZONA $136 million. The border operations were a resounding success in interdiction of drugs and illegal immigrants.
Jumping on the success of operation Wrangler Obama announced that he was sending another 1200 Guard troops to the border. They never came. Brewer filed suit against the Government to no avail. Congress finally acted authorizing an emergency $600 Million emergency bill to hire 1000 BP agents and 250 Customs agents and 2 surveillance aircraft to patrol the border. Using that as an excuse Obama order the National Guard Troops out. Those agents were never hired and we're still waiting for the aircraft. Gov. Perry has attempted over and over to get answers from Obama including trying to personally hand him a letter that he refused to accept.
Get your facts correct. Larry.
As for the "heartless" comment, the Supreme Court forces the State of Texas to educate the illegal aliens in our state at the cost of the Texas tax payers aprox. $6,563 per student per year (not including feeding and providing medical care) for 13 years. At the end of that period you expect the Texas tax payers to throw that investment away? Maybe that is what he meant about being heartless, it is a heartless move to the Texas tax payers. We should at least be afforded the chance to get something in return for the investment we are forced to make.
