“Perry is no RINO”

Let me count the ways, off the top of my head:

Democrat until 1989
Texas Enterprise Fund – [Perry idea to spend tax dollars, more power for government]
Perry Business Tax – very harmful
Disregard for parent’s and individuals rights – that’s unacceptable
Opposed conservative judge Steve Smith and replaced with a liberal
Weak on immigration, waiting for the Feds to tax and spend to fix the border
Signed the hate bills crime [squelching free speech]
Supports No Child Left Behind – big gov
Supported Security and Prosperity Partnership – big gov
Removed Texan’s property to hand over to foreign entities to toll us
Attempted to give even more property to private entities
Attended 2007 Bilderberg group meeting in Istanbul, Turkey – [the secret reason he was invited was because he was assisting globalists with the takeover of Texas highways]

Adding a couple more to your Rino points.....

1984... Texas State Coordinator Mondale for President

1988... Texas State Coordinator Al Gore for President

** Forced innoculations of 11/12 year old girls with Gardasil

How is he going to deal with the budget short fall that is coming for 2011? He got spared this time with the $12 billion in stimulus money.

All your documentation aside, please don’t forget an act of extreme political courage in 2003. Rick Perry called one special session after another to bring about a mid-decade congressional redistricting, in an effort to correct the bizarre gerrymandering that had been put into place by ultra liberal Democrat Martin Frost.

Until then, Texans in the aggregate had been giving 60+% of their vote to GOP congressional candidates, but only wound up with 40% of the actual congressional seats. Perry stood firm in the face of a media onslaught never before seen in Texas. On two occasions, the Democrat state reps and senators left the state to prevent the state legislature from having a quorum. (State reps fled to Oklahoma, Senators went to New Mexico).

Once having succeeded in redrawing the lines, Texas replaced six Democrats with conservative Republicans, incluing Ted Poe, Louie Gomert and Randy Neubauer. (We still need to defeat Chet Edwards, which may happen this year).

I will always appreciate this act of political courage and resolve by Perry.
