A fifth generation Texan, Perry grew up the son of tenant farmers in the tiny West Texas town of Paint Creek. The younger of Ray and Amelia Perry’s two children, he was active in scouting and earned distinction as an Eagle Scout.
Perry was one of the first in his family to go to college, earning a degree in Animal Science at Texas A&M, where he was also a member of the Corps of Cadets and a Yell Leader.
Between 1972 and 1977, Perry served in the U.S. Air Force flying C-130 tactical airlift aircraft in the Europe and the Middle East. He is a lifetime member of American Legion Post #75.
Prior to being elected Lieutenant Governor in 1998, he served two terms as Texas Commissioner of Agriculture and four terms in the Texas House of Representatives.
Perry married his childhood sweetheart, Anita Thigpen, in 1982. The Governor and First Lady are the proud parents of two children—Griffin, 23, and Sydney, 20. They are members of Tarrytown United Methodist Church in Austin.

BTO, that’s all that matters, when it comes to the general election.
But he was too recently a Democrat who worked for Al Gore. Environmentalists likely appeal to the Boy Scout in Perry. Many other subversive organizations also hide behind wholesome names, and people seem to be easily taken in!
We insist on having a president who can see through the devious devises of the far left!
I disagree with that statement.
If you follow the link there’s more good stuff.
Lol

Take it easy man. You look nuts. I didn’t post this for you, you derailed long ago. This is for those who would like to click the link and read about Perry and the book he wrote before “Fed Up”.
Sounds more like a Reagan Rino ( you know amnesty tax raiser) than a Pat Buchannan conservative.
No, it isn’t conservatives who are nuts.
It is the Perry/Rove/Bush/McCain/Open Borders crowd plotting to end America’s future that is worse than “nuts,” it is pure Evil.
I didn’t say conservatives, but you know that. I said you look nuts being so over the top. Now everyone can give your post even less credence because you couldn’t even quote me right.
