Perry ain't perfect, property taxes ain't ideal - but he should remain. Texas is in a good position financially. We have had enough change from unknown entities in the past year. We do not need another "unknown" inexperienced person right now.
Palin is supporting Rick Perry for governor. I listen to the local talk radio shows and it is not going over very well. Support for Debra Medina is climbing quickly (she has gone from 4% to 16% in less than 8 weeks, destroying Perry and Kay Bailout in debates), and a lot of conservatives are sick of Slick Rick and have no interest in putting Kay Bailout in charge. Rick Perry is a GREAT conservative talker, and its true that he has done some good things in office. But he is a politician that looks out for him and his buddies over the people of TX. We haven't forgotten the hpv vaccine that he made mandatory, something a limited govt supporter would never do. He is also tolling the entire state it seems as toll roads are going up at a rapidly increasing rate. He brags that we have a budget surplus, then BUILD SOME ROADS! Quit charging people $1.25 to go 3 miles.
Local conservatives on the radio that were supporters of Palin are turning on her due to this. Those who didn't care one way or the other with Palin are turning against her. Those who didn't like her (like me) are REALLY starting to detest her. Maybe she is just dumb and believes Rick Perry. But it looks more like a political stunt, and Palin's popularity is dropping around here. Thats a good thing. Quitters shouldn't be supported or popular.

The bias is warranted as the names are very appropriate. Perry is very well known for being a slick talker that can make it sound like he is the ideal conservative. His actions are a different story.
Kay Bailey stood before Texans and declared she would not vote for the bailout, then the next day, went and voted for it.
The names are because even people who like them know those things about them. I just want to make sure people don't let it slip to the back of their mind.
I am just tired of career politicians, and that is exactly what Perry and Bailey are. Too many ties to corporations and special interests to trust them in any way.
Mr. Perry can't be Governor of Texas. Part of the oath of office for the Governor of Texas is to uphold the Constitution of the United States.
Best way to do that is to secede.
