Make no mistake, Rick Perry is no small government conservative committed to American interests. As governor here in Texas, he pretty much has been little more than a prostitute for any big-dollar corporation with enough money to afford his fee, even if it meant confiscating property from Americans and diverting revenue to foriegn companies.

Yep....

There is quite a bit of corruption in Austin and Rick Perry is at the center of a lot of it - if not most of it. Ironic that he ran for president as an "anti-establishment"/"anti-Washington insider" (which would imply "anti-corruption") candidate.

The Trans Texas Corridor, even if it didn't involve the foreign companies, had to be about the stupidest idea I've ever heard of.
