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

Really! This makes me like this guy Perry! Now that would be real leadership!
And Patriots would have moved there! Shows how he detests the commie liberal take over of our country. That puts Perry in the plus column.
I’m still pissed about the heartless’ stuff but this gives him points. Republic of Texas, f yeah
Actually I guess that a plus. Once they succeed we know he will not build a fence to keep the rest of us out.
We do have the right to leave.
There definitely needs to be a split between marxist states and the Liberty states. Then I can sit back and watch the marxists economically and socially grind themselves into the ground without raising my blood pressure one point.
Problem with liberals is you have to explain to them when you're joking, they just never see the humor in anything.
Can you imagine what the liberal elites would do if Yell Leader Rick Perry told a “Rock and Roxanne joke” at the end of one of his speeches? Oh, the Horrors!!
What can I do to get you over the “heartless” comment? I offer counseling via Skype. (-; But I have to warn ya, I ain’t certified. I usually make people like you who wear their hearts on their sleeves cry. (just kidding)
Cheers!
OK, that’s a bit too inside for me, I don’t know what that is LOL
The author is covering up for Perry. His real plan is to have the entire state abducted by space aliens.
This is a big plus for Perry.
Whew! Got here just in time. Now if I could only find a good stripped AR lower to finish my latest build I’d be all set.
Perry's own website disagrees with you:
"Perry was incorrect, legally, on the status of Texas in the Union. He was caught up with the popular folklore on the issue. When Texas was admitted into the Union in 1845, a special provision was included that allowed the state to split into five separate states for more representation. That is, the ability to have 8 additional U.S. senators. But it cannot secede."
I can see obammy writing his speech already: ‘Fourscore and seven years ago . . . ‘
I was at that Tea Party. Really good turnout, especially for liberal Austin.
Any state can secede at any time. If the legislature votes for it and the citizens agree then it is a done deal. Whether war comes or not following that is up to the other states, whether they go fascist like Lincoln or not.
