Texas GOP Gov. Rick Perry accused President Barack Obama on Wednesday of “punishing” Texas and being “hell-bent” on turning the United States into a socialist country. Speaking at a luncheon for a Midland County Republican Women’s group, Perry said that “this is an administration hell-bent toward taking American towards a socialist country. And we all don’t need to be afraid to say that because that’s what it is.” Perry praised the tea party movement to the Republican activists in attendance, crediting the grassroots groups with discouraging some Democrats in Washington from pushing for a public option in the health care bill. “If you all think those tea parties didn’t work, then let me tell you something,” Perry said. “When they all came home in August for those town hall meetings, they got an earful. Then they went back to Washington, D.C. and the Senate voted that public option down in committee with a majority of Democrats in the Senate.” Perry also accused the Obama administration of intentionally dumping illegal immigrants from other western states in Texas, recalling a conversation he had with local officials notifying him that illegal aliens that were caught in Nogales, Arizona were being dropped off by federal authorities in Presidio, Texas. “Friday a week ago, I got not a phone call from Washington, not a letter from Washington and as a matter of fact, I don’t think any member of our congressional delegation was even notified. The first time we were contacted was by the superintendent of the school and the county judge of Presidio County,” Perry said. “They said, ‘do you all know what’s fixin’ to happen?’ I said, ‘well, no. What’s going on?’ They said ‘the government has just called us and said for us to get ready for an influx of illegal aliens who were captured illegally crossing the border.’” “It’s called the alien transfer-and-exit program,” Perry told the crowd, “trucking them from Nogales, past El Paso down to our western border in Presidio.” The Texas governor said he sees the action as “punishing this state” and urged the assembled Republicans to “stand up” to Washington. “I say it’s time to make tea parties twice as big as what they were,” Perry declared. “I think it’s time for us to stand up and say to Washington, D.C. that we are no longer going to accept that kind of stuff sitting down and being quiet.”
Poster Comment: Dear Rick "The Hair" Perry, We gave Jorge Arbusto an earful about illegal mexicons, to no avail. We implored him for relief and he hardened his heart against the people. Now you want to bitch and whine about illegal immigration?? You're a day late and a dollar short, you miserable sonofabitch. Rot in hell along with the rest of the GOP.
Rgds,
Texas voters
That's Rick Perry right behind Bush's left shoulder.

So mount a primary challenge. Should be easy to call him on his hypocrisy. http://www.ontheissues.org/governor/Rick_Perry_Immigration.htm Who knows? A challenger might win. Or at least put the fear of god into him. Oh, there is one.Leo Berman. Not anti-immigration of course. Anti illegal immigration. But he introduced a bill to end birthright citizenship. Seems he made up with Perry, after a little chat. “I didn’t ask him to do a heck of a lot,” Berman added. He said he requested that Perry issue an order to agency heads that would “ask them to purge their [benefit] rolls of illegal aliens and save millions of dollars … and he said he’d do that.” Berman also said he asked that Perry accelerate the training of state and local law enforcement officers in how to enforce federal immigration laws. And he said he asked the governor to have Texas join other states in preparing to challenge federal laws that usurp states’ rights and to personally file a friend of the court brief in an expected Montana challenge to federal firearms regulation of guns made and marketed entirely within that Western state. “All the votes that I would get running for governor would come from Rick Perry’s side,” Berman said. “He’s far to the right of Kay Bailey Hutchison and so am I.” Col. Wilma Dearing: That's a rather insulting way to begin an alliance based on good faith. Perry is also known as The Hairdo Governor, right? At least the Governator of CA. is a man with real muscles, not a pouffed hairdo like yours. My RINO Gov is better than your RINO Gov.
They're both NWO stooges.
Exactly! And what's worse they're both transparent, bumbling NWO stooges. I think if the NWO hired one of us to be their stooge, we'd do a heck of better job than Hairdo Perry and Roid Ahnold.
Rick Perry's proposed solution, from about six months ago, was Texas seceding from the Union. Actually it would be a solution for everyone else; Texas gets more federal money than it ever sends to Washington in taxes. Instead of building a wall between Texas and Mexico, we'll be able to build a wall between Oklahoma & New Mexico on side and Texas on the other.
This is totally bogus. Why do you say this?
Look up your facts, Texas is ranked #35 in Federal Spending Received per Dollar of Taxes Paid:
_________________________________________________________________________ Thank you much.
Thanks for that link, X-15! Very informative, indeed. California is #43, and as per the situation for Texan taxpayers, Californian taxpayers are spending an arm and a leg on social/welfare/educational/judicial/medical services for illegals because FedGov is not doing its Constitutionally mandated job of protecting, defending our borders and to add insult to injury our 2 states are in the bottom third of states for getting federal $. Argh...This stinks.
Even with our nwo, light-in-the-loafers, governors, it sucks for us.
honestly, do you think Medina has a chance? is Texas all black boxes?
Probably no, and nearly yes.
I noticed very recently that Medina is trying to appeal to the Hispanic bloc, since her husband is such, and I guess that's a good maneuver politically.
I don't care if she tries to appeal to the one-legged lesbians, or whatever crowd, if elected, she would do right for all the citizens of Texas.
I didn't mean to insinuate that she's doing anything "bad" by appealing to Mexicans; getting the hispanic vote would be positive thing. Know what I mean?
Have you seen Ah-nold up close recently (the last few years)? He's wasted away. His physique is absolutely horrible.
MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
Here.
Quit pinging me with semantics when you don't have the guts to reply to me directly about my post. Do this again and I will bozo you.

“When I announced that I was going to run for governor, it was mainly to deal with that illegal alien issue,” he said. “And if I can get it dealt with by him accepting it as governor of Texas and doing it, I’m very happy with that.”
