Times change, as you know.

There’s a judge in TX named Bert Richardson, a “Republican” who won’t throw out the suit against Perry. I’m not sure how this will play out. Many thought the suit is frivilous.

As poorly informed as are so many TX voters, I would think Jebbie would take the primary by plurality at this time.

As a Texan, my thought is — the state has done well under Perry, but no way do I want to end up in the position of depending on him to debate the eventual dem nominee. I have heard nothing from him that would give me any confidence he won’t melt down and wilt again under debate pressure. Meanwhile, in Cruz, we have a debate champion. Cruz 2016, all the way!

At this rate of rino exposure, I’m planning to write in Jeff Sessions name in 2016.

Perry didn’t really refer to RKBA as a privilege granted by the State, akin to the privilege to use public roads.

I don’t believe that.

He’s been a politician in Texas for 30 years, and has national aspirations. This is Texas Politics 101. I know conservatives that disagree with open carry. I don’t know any that confuse a right as a privilege that should be regulated by the State.

The Texas Tribune is a pretty far left publication out of Austin. I get the impression that it works hard at driving wedges between various republican groups.

I would like to see what Perry says happened.

If they were misquoting him, wouldn’t Perry’s people be making a fuss about it?

Maybe they will. Lt. Gov Abbot fought back against them, but it was just at his site.

Uh, Greg Abbott was the attorney general and is now the governor, he was never the lieutenant governor.

...you would know Perry is NOT slamming open carry and welcoming muslims.
****************************
Agree with you. He didn’t indicate either in the quotes in the article.

I didn’t like his comments where he was trying to diminish Ted Cruz’ experience and abilities by comparing them to Obama’s.

“Uh, Greg Abbott was the attorney general and is now the governor, he was never the lieutenant governor.”

Right, I meant Lt. Governor Dan Patrick.
