So I was watching both CNN and Fox this morning and both places are claiming that Rick Perry is the Tea Party favorite. This really confuses me because Rick Perry is everything that Tea Party members on this site and others claim to hate. He's pro-illegal immigration
He's pro-North American Union (NAU)
He's pro-Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP)
He's pro-Trans Texas Corridor
Less than ten years ago he was the devil incarnate for thee beliefs, yet now he's the Tea Party favorite? If so, then there is no difference between the Tea Party and the Republican party because you just can't get much more establishment than Rick Perry.
