An excellent, albeit lengthy, post has been written about Texas governor Rick Perry and the seventeen supposed problems he poses as a Republican presidential candidate. I can’t improve on the article, as it is quite thoroughly researched, but I have extracted the list of gigs against him. Please read the article and share it. It is important that we have the facts available to squelch the inevitable and persistent lies and distortions we know the left will be spouting throughout the campaign season.
- Gardasil
- Trans-Texas Corridor
- He used to be a Democrat and was Al Gore’s campaign manager in Texas
- He wants Texas to secede from the union
- The jobs created in Texas have all been low paying jobs. Texas’ average wage is much lower than the national average.
- Texas ranks poorly in educational spending and high school graduations
- Perry turned down $555 million in federal stimulus, yet later asked for federal disaster aid for Texas wildfires
- Perry says he has not raised taxes, but he has
- Perry has presided over the highest number of executions in the nation
- 1erry refused to consider commuting the execution of Mexican national Humberto Leal Garcia even though it had been requested by the U.N. and the White House
- Cameron Todd Willingham – was he an innocent man?
- Perry supports giving in-state tuition to illegals
- Rick Perry is gay
- Perry is a “weak” Governor (the Governor of a state that limits the Governor’s powers)
- He is squishy on immigration
- Perry is a member of the Bilderberg cabal and therefore believes in a New World Order (NWO). That is reason alone to eliminate him from voting consideration.
- Texas’ abysmal rankings on various lists
Please take some time and read this well-researched article. All credit for this list goes to Garnet92, the author. I also offer a hat tip to my friend Michelle over at The Jersey-Texan.
Ted Cruz is a former solicitor general of Texas and has a stellar conservative record. I’ve interviewed him twice, he has a great personal story and is smart as a whip. Here is his latest campaign video, please donate to his campaign if you can. Any amount will help!
Just finished my second interview with former Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz. He’s a true conservative with an excellent education, outstanding debate skills, and a proven track record. I think he is the dark horse candidate that can defeat Texas Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst, the current overwhelming favorite to replace outgoing US Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison in 2012.
