Nope, Rick has been a Republican for a long time. (I have been a Republican since I could vote (am 64), and am from the same county as Rick Perry. We grew up 14 miles apart.)
Forget your suggestion, will not hold water.
Oh really? Was this the same Rick Perry that was the Campaign Manager for the Al Gore for President campaign in 1988? I think that after the Reagan Reveloution Perry saw the wringing on the wall (along with a whole bunch of other RATs and became a “Republican” (RINO) because that was his only prayer of being elected to any State wide office.
I guess that the James Byrd “Hate Crimes” Bill was an affirmation of our 14th Amendment Rights to “equal treatment” under the law? Did a real conservative dream that up? Or was that the work of a RAT mole?
Trans Texas Corridor and the elimination of Private Property Rights was another Conservative cause that he championed. Real “Conservative” there, right?
I could go on, but it’s not worth my time or effort.
I see that you are one of those that is part of the problem and not the solution.
That's funny, because the Perrybots want us to believe that everybody in Texas was a Demonrat until just a couple of years ago, and Rick himself claims never to have met a single Republican until he was an adult.
