Giving Perry credit for a state that is a natural hub for industry, it is mostly credited to their conservative legislature. Most of those job based industries or policies were never written by Perry. Perry and his rather foolish following are quick to give credit where it is not due.
Perry did not make Texas what it is. TEXAS made Texas what it is.
‘rather foolish following.’
Nice from a Newt guy.
I have no doubt that Newt or Mitt could have messed it up.
I’m not saying TX’s success is all Perry. But it’s ridculous foolish to say that his long run as Lt.Gov. and Gov. had NOTHING to do with it and/or is irrelevant. Perry overwhelmingly (if not entirely) pursued pro-business policies in his span in office. You are just desperate to tear down anyone who isn’t your beloved Newt. It would be nice if FReepers didn’t feel the need to attack an obviously conservative, successful governor because he’s not their particular cup of acid. (You’ll notice I’m not going to tear down Newt, even though I have huge problems with him.)
