“If you go on Alex Jones show and he gives you a favorable interview, you’d better damned well be ready for people to ask you if you agree with his 9/11 conspiracy theories.”
If Rick Perry signs a letter with a Democrat Gov. urging congress to act/vote on the Bailout ?
Does Rick agree with the Democrat Gov. on his way of thinking on the bailout ?

“Indeed, Perry joined his Democratic counterpart Gov. Joe Manchin of West Virginia (Perry was president of the Republican Governors Association, Manchin was president of the Democratic group) in coauthoring a letter saying it was time to set aside partisanship and vote to save the economy from a depression. A few hours later, the Senate acted on the plan before it. Here’s a portion of the letter:”
Then says the bailouts are bad policy but good politics

“AUSTIN – For Gov. Rick Perry, federal bailouts make bad policy but good politics.”
was that a lie ?
Shading the truth ?
Rick did not state anything about what to do just that congress should act
about a year later Perry’s spokesman says this
“Perry spokesman Mark Miner said there’s no inconsistency. He said Perry wanted Congress to act in some way but disapproved of the bill enacted. He said the governor preferred tax cuts and growth initiatives pushed by House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio.”
He had every opportunity to state his position in the letter a year ago
He did not do it
Then his spokesman gives a parsed answer a year later
You believe Perry ?
He has all the experience ya-know
if congress does not act on the bailout there is no bailout right ?
Debra is right on the issues, but I can't vote for someone who can't make a judgement on 9-11 conspiracies nearly 10 years after the fact.
