This is the continuing series of Frequently Asked Questions about Rick Perry intended to adequately explain his record without distortion. At a Tax Day Tea Party rally in Austin on April 15, 2009, Rick Perry addressed the crowd of people in the prepubescence tea party movement. Individuals in the crowd shouted, "Secede!" It was a day of very red-blooded rhetorical baiting that all involved caught into the moment.
Here's a video compilation of that day when Rick Perry spoke at Tea Party Rallies in Austin, Fort Worth and Arlington, Texas

The only problem with the plan is, as liberals love to remind us of here, is that the Demographics will soon turn Texas into another California. And Governor Perry isn’t doing jack about it with his coddling of Illegals.
There is a string of argument in the fringe right political circles in Texas that the state can secede. However, mainstream intelligentsia, such as political science professors at t.u., say that theory is bunk.
For a discussion of the fringe right point-of-view, see: http://www.texassecede.com/faq.htm
Clearly Rick Perry is a phony. He is a different man now than then, WIll the real Rick Perry please stand up.
aww, our Rick is stick our Rick. They’re just a’polishin’ him up to beat the heck outta the Democrats in Nov 2012. You know, don’t wanna offend those apartment dwellers in the bigger cities.
aww, our Rick is still our Rick. They’re just a’polishin’ him up to beat the heck outta the Democrats in Nov 2012. You know, don’t wanna offend those apartment dwellers in the bigger cities.
i was working in Dallas when those tea party rallies were happening. I didn’t get to go. But I saw Perry fire up the crowd at the Hannity Freedom concert in July 09 in Houston, and it was awesome. Kay Bailey, who spoke there too, didn’t stand a chance after Rick yell leadered the crowd up.
Texas vrs the space aliens? My money is on Texas.
This is the real problem. Perry’s decisions and inactions on illegal immigration are by default seceding Texas RIGHT BACK INTO THE GRIP OF MEXICO!
Texas leaves....we are dead electorlly
LOL! You’re right.
It appears that Perry is only one of the many people who disagree with you on that.
Not bunk
Believe me, if we wanted to secede; we would secede.
“This is the real problem. Perry’s decisions and inactions on illegal immigration are by default seceding Texas RIGHT BACK INTO THE GRIP OF MEXICO!”
EXACTLY. His lip-service now regarding being tough on illegals TOTALLY CONTRADICTS his policies as governor (at least for his first 8 years here, then a bit of movement just before he announced). And his heartless comment revealed how he still feels about illegals and particularly the people that have problems with illegals.
Given the choice of becoming a Mexican state (i.e., independence, the way our governor is setting it up), or instead to leach off of Washington, DC (i.e., California model), I’ll still take the California model.
But ideally, we get a conservative for president, and then a conservative for governor in 2014. We crack down, and then Texas remains the great place it is for another generation.
Well, that’s a plus in Perry’s column. Still like Cain better, but I won’t have any problems voting for Perry.
Then why don't you?
Texas is more liberal than my state.
The nations first openly gay mayor .... Houtson.
In Tejas college tiution for illegals was not even an issue.
The Texas of today is not the Texas of 20 years ago.
Nope
We fought that war and won, remember.
Texas may own Mexico but Mexico will never own Texas again.
Funny thing is, the reason we fought that war against Mexico are the same reasons we are mad as hell at Wash DC right now.
This is hilarious.
There are three lines that will get your audience’s attention in Texas.
1. “I never feel so free as when I am in Texas”. Will get you heavy applause.
2. “Texas is a whooole different country” gets a standing O plus shouting.(It’s also true)
3. “If DC doesn’t clean up their act and fly straight, we’ll just secede.” Standing O and shouting.
Would we secede? Mebbe, mebbe not.
“The author is covering up for Perry. His real plan is to have the entire state abducted by space aliens.”
The truth is more out there than that. He *is* a space alien. He has the ability to morph into whatever the audience wants, whether the people are conservatives or La Raza.
And his hair is antigravitic. Probably held in place by some kind of energy shield.
(Cue Twilight Zone music.)
