To reinforce his tea party cowboy image, Perry also offers an anecdote that is said to be a true story: “Texans, on the other hand, elect folks like me. You know the type, the kind of guy who goes jogging in the morning, packing a Ruger .380 with laser sights and loaded with hollow-point bullets, and shoots a coyote that is threatening his daughter’s dog.”
Rick Perry may have Tea Party support, but Rick Perry is no conservative.
