The two RINOs are alike in many ways.

Both are fascists for RomneyCARE/PerryCARE.

Both support open borders (but claim otherwise).

At least the RINO Perry is eligible.

RINO Rick praising HillaryCare (1993):

RINO Rick praising la raza:

RINO Rick praising Pelosi:

Of course you leave off the context.

Bush wanted TARP passed because there was a genuine belief that Wall Street would implode without it. The Dems didn’t want to pass it so it wouldn’t help Bush.

“First we’ll go back to October 1, 2008. That morning, Governor Perry released a letter, co-signed by Democratic Governor Joe Manchin, urging D.C. lawmakers “to leave partisanship at the door” and “pass an economic recovery package.”

The Perry-Manchin letter came three days after TARP failed to pass the House by a vote of 228-205. Moments after the vote, an exasperated House Minority Leader John Boehner spoke to reporters. He blamed the failed vote on Speaker Nancy Pelosi highly partisan speech, delivered just before the roll call. Boehner said the speech “poisoned [the Republican] conference” and “caused a number of members that we thought we could get, to go south.”

The Bush Administration and the media predicted financial ruin if the House Republicans and Democrats failed to work out their issues with the bill.

Three days later, The Senate scheduled a vote on TARP. That morning, riding to the bi-partisan rescue, came Perry and Manchin. “There is a time for partisanship and there is a time for getting things done,” lectured the two governors.

Media outlets, including the Associated Press, hailed the letter as a bi-partisan endorsement of TARP. The Fort Worth Star Telegram, in Perry’s back yard, even ran the headline, “Perry joins with Democrat to push for bailout.”

Perry has since denied he wanted the bailout to pass, but it’s not difficult to see why media and politicians alike saw the Perry-Manchin letter as pro-TARP. The governors stressed bi-partisanship just days after partisan fighting derailed the first vote in the House, the letter was sent on the day of the Senate vote, and most obvious was the fact that Congress was not meaningfully considering any other proposals.”

Treasury: 99% of TARP investments paid back

TARP was passed to avert a potential catastrophy.

The Obama stimulus and other Obama spending is what created the huge debt.

I'm glad you at least posted the letters. Anyone with a brain (of course, I guess that leaves you out...) can read those letters and see that they are not "praising Hillarycare" or "supporting TARP". Perry wrote Hillary and commended her for addressing the issue of health care reform, and asked her to remember the needs of rural farmers. Ooooh, scary! And then, as the head of the RGA, he wrote a letter with the head of the DGA asking Congress to do something to help alleviate the national and international financial crisis in 2008. Oh my goodness! Liberalism run amok!!!

You are so funny - you are trying to smear Perry, but post the very documents that disprove your claim!
