While Perry is staking his campaign on Texas being the top net jobs creator, Perry’s version of Texas being “Open for Business” isn’t about low taxes and less regulation as much as it is about doing business with foreign companies, including selling off Texas’ sovereign land and public assets to foreign creditors, an issue which Perry’s first television ad uses to take aim at President Obama.
A recent Washington Post article documents Perry’s work to get Chinese government-owned telecommunications company Huawei, to base its U.S. operations in Texas, a company that the U.S. government has deemed a threat to national security noting that “three times since 2008, a U.S. government security panel has blocked Huawei from acquiring or partnering with U.S. companies because of concerns that secrets could be leaked to China’s government or military.”
Perry’s coziness with the Chinese and foreign investors exposes a huge weakness in his right flank — illegal immigration and open borders. The Trans Texas Corridor has been linked to the global plan to economically integrate North America, with the eventual goal of a common security perimeter modeled after the European Union. Perry ushered in in-state tuition for illegals and has long been an obstacle to immigration reform or any Arizona-style immigration law.

The second part of your statement is true, but in fact the first part is falsifiable.
The business community in Texas -- and I got this from watching the CEO of the Greater Houston Partnership (Chamber of Commerce + other Business Roundtable-type NGO's) on a PBS public-affairs show just last night -- are calling, through their NGO's, on national Republicans like Perry, John Boehner, Peter King, Paul Ryan, and others, for more infrastructure spending (contracts yum yum), funded at the State level by higher State taxes. One of his suggestions was that he is open to adding a new tax on vehicle miles driven -- which of course would require a Big Brother tagging program for cars of some sort. He also was supportive of Rick Perry's tolling initiatives (including tolling infrastructure already paid for).
In short, the Business Wing of the GOP loves taxes -- as long as they're taxes on individuals that don't touch them, or are paid for by their yummy access-capitalist profits on government infrastructural spending.
It's still tax-tax, spend-spend.
Thanks for the link to a very good article with great links and very good comments at the source. Much appreciated.
DEFUND socialist/totalitarian collectives, foreign and domestic.
What part of “Rick Perry is an unelectable fraud” do the Perry Bots not get? He ACTUALLY IS every bit as dumb and corrupt as the left claimed GWB was. Find a new heartthrob before you wind up saddling us with this slapshod loser as our presidential candidate in the general election - please. He’s a pretty pony, I’ll give you that, but he’s outclassed on this track.
If ALL YOU CARE ABOUT is electability, go with Romney. He’ll pull in enough independents and crossover dems to cover even if the base deserts him.
If you care about substance, and the consequences after election day, find an actual conservative to get behind - one with a record that actually matches their speeches.
If you want four more years of Obama, NOMINATE RICK PERRY.
How about if I just trip him as he goes by, and then vote for a real conservative?
"Open Borders Rainbow Rick" ain't my idea of a Texican. Dubya was more like it, although they maleducated him up at Skull & Bones University ..... and he had to live with his folks, too, who are New England Yankee snobs to the bone.
Real-Deal Texan is more like "Cactus Jack" Garner or "Vinegar Bill" Clements. Now you're talking Texan ..... Rick is just showing off for the Bilderbergers.
Yeah, always vote for the most genial-sounding quisling traitor. That'll put you miles ahead.
Perry's past activities are a peek into the future.
Perry’s globalism---his coziness with the Chinese and foreign investors-----exposes his neocon proclivities. The Trans Texas Corridor has been linked to the global plan to economically integrate North America, with the eventual goal of a common security perimeter modeled after the European Union.
Perry ushered in in-state tuition for illegals and has long been an obstacle to immigration reform or any Arizona-style immigration law.....amnesty is a neocon pet project.
Perry will start outlining his foreign policy.......... as soon as the neocons tell him what to say.
Perry, a “traitor”? That’s funny!
I have to admit, the author does seem angry about something. The article is more like something on Daily Kos or Rolling Stone than a website called Right Side.
Darlan was an admiral, before he was a Vichy traitor. What was funny about that? The Maquis and Free French didn't think it was funny.
He's a collaborator with the people trying to integrate the United States and the American Experiment out of existence, in order to make the world safe for classism and privilege.
gawd he looks like the breck girl having a bad hair day.
Thanks for the info, Liz.

I sure hope people are reading this stuff. No more Agenda 21 pushing politicians, please. Perry’s support of Agenda 21 enables Obama for example to shut down 20% of our coal plant power generating capacity ‘with a stroke of the pen’.
We cannot fight corrupt politicians once they are sworn in.
Let’s just don’t elect them.
Gone Alinksy by the 5th post.
Another Alinksy-ite.
Perry was given money by Goldman Sachs to change his party afflitiation from democrat to republican when he ran for governor.
Any politician affiliated with Goldman Sachs is by nature a globalist anti-American.
It explains the trans texas corridor, the ‘cozienss’ with the chinese who are building a ‘super terminal’ port in mexico ot mainline their manufactured crap into the heart of the US with mexican truckers and the trans-texas link.
Perry is a death to America politician.
By this time next year after Obama has completely nuked the economy. Even Obama will be looking for ways to exit the presidency. The Republicans will be able to run a picture Ronald Reagan and still win by a landslide.
Transnational corporations have no loyalty to America and can in no way be considered American.
But they incorporate here, pay no taxes here, corrupt our government with their campaign contributions, and yet get subsidies from the US taxpayer and are draining our economy into the third world. GE for example.
Perry is a Dem, no dems.
