Rick Perry is beginning to sound like a different Texas Republican: Ron Paul

Maybe I’m confused.

I thought the governor of Texas was Rick Perry.

But he’s starting to sound like another R.P.: Ron Paul.

The more Perry talks about tea parties, states’ rights, limited government and defying Washington, the more he seems to be playing for the 70,000 Texas voters who backed Paul, a Republican U.S. representative, for president.

Paul’s former state campaign manager is now running against Perry for governor. She agreed.

"It’s awfully ironic, isn’t it?" Wharton Republican Debra Medina said Friday, laughing over the phone from Austin.

"The governor is great at blowing smoke. He knows how to talk conservative values and principles. Then when he gets elected, he goes right back to big-government principles."

YAWN!!

Yes, the American public is just too stupid to realize Ron Paul would be the better messiah than the one we are stuck with now.

I just chuckle to myself everytime I see you Paulistinians go down on yourselves over someone blashpeming your lord and messiah.

Grow up, Paul has a couple good ideas, but even a broken clock shows the correct time twice a day.

Last time I checked, Paul was rejected en masse by the country in two separate presidential runs.

Endless bashing of the GOP will not endear Republicans to the Ron Paul cult who thinks simply adding an ‘R’ behind their name will sell their libertarian views to the public or that people are just too stupid to see the attempted highjacking of the party.

Maybe there is a reason the libertarian party has barely grown in nearly 40 years?

Could it be America doesn’t want it?
