What happened when people started to shout NO?

It wasn't just the people who said no, it was religious organizations, the state GOP, Republican legislators, and a whole slew of other people, and Perry was not happy to be rebuffed, not happy at all, just like he was not happy to be rebuffed over his trans-Texas corridor. Let me ask you this.

How would you feel if Obama signed an executive order mandating that all 12 year old girls receive a vaccine against a sexually transmitted virus?

How would you feel if Obama presided over a system that took DNA from every newborn and kept it without the consent of parents, without revealing the intentions behind keeping it or who had access to it? How would you feel if you had to go through court to find out the intentions behind that and to find out who had access to it, all the while realizing that taxpayer money was being used to fight you all the way?

How would you feel if Obama handed out confidential no-bid billion dollar contracts to European contractors that would lead to hundreds of thousands of acres in Texas and millions of acres across Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and who knows where else, being confiscated so that those European contractors could build for-profit toll roads across the US?

Perry did or tried some incredibly evil things, and they were done for companies that employed his buddies. I could, well I couldn't excuse them, but I could better digest them if Perry did all of the things mentioned in this thread out of some kind of personal beliefs, but the fact is that the majority of things that he did that fly in the face of being a Conservative were somehow linked to companies that employed his buddies. Unfortunately, that is something that Texas has a serious problem with and has every since the Civil War.
