I'm a little worried about Governor Rick Perry. He was born and raised in Paint Creek, Texas about 60 miles N/NE of Abilene. As near as I can tell, Governor Perry is about four clicks to the right of former President George W Bush, who himself was petty far to the right. Governor Perry is running for a third term, and just defeated Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson, who President George W. Bush supported, to win the Republican primary. He ran against Senator Hutchinson by portraying her as a Washington insider and big pork barrel spender, which played well on the strong anti-fed government sentiment of Texans. One of his political ads mention his support of the 10th amendment to the USA constitution, which he said is suppose to keep the federal government from interfering with Texas business. I believe Governor Perry has Presidential ambitions, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him run for president in 2012. He has run Texas for the last 10 years from a small, very extreme group of Republicans, who are not really representative of the Texas Republican Party. The Texas Board of Education, which he appointed, has changed the education curriculum to make it appear that conservative views are mainstream, when they really aren't. I'm providing a link to an article that appeared 3/13/2010 in the New York Times. Governor Perry would probably sucede Texas from the USA, and set her up as an autonomous, sovereign country, if he though he could get away with it. Religious Righters running government spell bad news, so I'm a strong supporter of separation of church and state. Randy Neugebauer is my House of Representatives congressman from the Texas 17th district, and he distinguished himself yesterday during the vote on health care by calling one of his Democratic colleagues a baby killer, LOL , so that the kind of extremism I'm dealing with here in Abilene. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/13/education/13texas.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/15/gov-rick-perry-texas-coul_n_187490.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Perry Regards, LelandJ > --- On Mon, 3/22/10, geoff<[email protected]> wrote: > > >> From: geoff<[email protected]> >> Subject: RE: [OT] Welcome to Deemocracy >> To: "'ProFox Email List'"<[email protected]> >> Date: Monday, March 22, 2010, 9:13 PM >> Coz they will execute you with scant >> regard to evidence. >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: [email protected] >> [mailto:[email protected]] >> On Behalf >> Of Michael Madigan >> Sent: Tuesday, 23 March 2010 11:41 AM >> To: ProFox Email List >> Subject: Re: [OT] Welcome to Deemocracy >> >> Don't mess with Texas. >> >> --- On Mon, 3/22/10, Leland F.
