Erick Erickson informs his conservative readers that Sen.-elect Ted Cruz, the agreed-upon star of the new GOP class, has picked Chip Roy as his chief of staff. Why they should be happy:
Chip currently works for Governor Rick Perry. If youve ever read Governor Perrys book Fed Up!, well, you know Chip Roy as the guy who helped put pen to paper for the Governor and helped shape Governor Perrys thinking on federalism issues.

I’m sitting there hearing Mark and thinking, oh my, and people want to believe for various reasons (excuses) that Perry is a “RINO”? So that’s why Levin’s sworn-by, conservative guy, was working for Perry and why Perry picked him...Perry’s “RINO-ism”??
Oh yeah...that makes sense. NOT.
According to Levin, Chip Roy has battled a health problem for years but is on the mend and cleared to work for Ted Cruz.
And I have predicted all along that Perry and Cruz would work closely together for Texas, states rights and conservativism. Those who fell for the “had to endorse Dewhurst the Lt. Gov. but still, must be a RINO so can’t work with Cruz” narrative will be demonstrated wrong, AGAIN...
Yup. La Raza Rick needs to be permanently retired in 2014.
The truth cannot be twisted for ever.
You were correct.
