you support a ban on ron paul threads, but here you are mentioning him.
the state of texas seems to be doing better economically than the united states as a whole.
rick perry certainly isn't hurting texas, even if he can't take all the credit.
I think he is hurting us to some degree. He's made us a national laughing stock and has repeatedly embarassed us greatly. He's supported policies that have hurt education, promoted illegal immigration, and created major budget problems, among other things.
He has done some good for Texas, but I wouldn't say he "certainly isn't hurting" us.
Furthermore, in his campaign he has consistently been owning the Texas economy as his own as if he is primarily responsible. What he's neglected to mention is that most of the new jobs have been government jobs and low-wage, low-skill jobs.
Despite Perry’s memory lapse about the decision on Thursday, he does cite the case in his 2010 book Fed Up! Our Fight to Save America from Washington.
Huh.
So Perry's ghostwriter was familiar with the case, anyway ...
Ah, well ... one of the most notable, controversial and widely-publicized decisions of the USSC in the last decade, originating from the state where Perry was Governor ... and he can't remember anything about it ...
But remember-- this cluelessness is something a lot of Perry's supporters like.
So, he draws another blank - on a question relating to Texas' anti-sodomy law, which was overturned while he was governor. He even mentions the case in his (as in, his name is on the cover) book "Fed Up!".
I know it's a lot to ask, but could you please keep him in Texas?

To answer your question, yes he has always been this stupid. Yes, Texans are aware of this stupidity. Finally, yes, Texans keep voting for him.
I just saw a foxnews video clip and Rick Perry scold the president saying he is attacking catholic values by taking money away from catholic charities that do abortion. Now I'm confused because I thought Rick Perry signed a pledge to make abortion illegal. So if he is really about values then what about over half of Americans who think illegal immigrants should have a path to citizenship, marriage equality, removal of millionaire tax deduction, etc.
So what are Perrys real positions?
To answer your question, yes he has always been this stupid. Yes, Texans are aware of this stupidity. Finally, yes, Texans keep voting for him.
It's a bit like California re-electing Jerry Brown. We all must like pain.

Rick Perry: Asking about a landmark Supreme Court case overturning Texas law is a "gotcha question"
