All the Texas Freepers seem to think Perry is a RINO. They should know. He sponsored the Trans Texas Corridor and he was invited to and attended the 2009 Bilderberg meeting. Not great conservative credentials. I did hear Rush speaking about Perry the other day and I was suprised he was so positive about him.
If Perry had come out today swinging at the DOJ over that TSA bill I might have been able to get a little tingle down my leg but as far as I know he did not.
Actually, the LT Governor [David Dewhurst] runs the legislature. He has much more power than the governor. Perry pushed for and got voter photo ID this session. The dims successfully blocked the "No sanctuary city" bill.
