From Think Progress:
(1) PERRY ALLOWED THE EXECUTION OF A LIKELY INNOCENT MAN, THEN IMPEDED AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE MATTER
(2) PERRY WANTS TO REPEAL THE 16th AND 17th AMENDMENTS, ENDING DIRECT ELECTION OF U.S. SENATORS AND THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX
(3) PERRY PROPOSED LETTING STATES DROP OUT OF SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICAID
(4) TEXAS IS THE COUNTRY’S BIGGEST POLLUTER, BUT PERRY SUED THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT FOR DISAPPROVING OF THE STATE’S AIR QUALITY STANDARDS
(5) PERRY DESIGNATED AS “EMERGENCY LEGISLATION” A BILL REQUIRING ALL WOMEN SEEKING ABORTIONS TO HAVE SONOGRAMS FIRST
(6) PERRY GUTTED CHILDCARE SERVICES EVEN AS TEXAS CHILDHOOD POVERTY HIT 25 PERCENT
(7) PERRY WAS A STRONG SUPPORTER OF TEXAS’S ANTI-SODOMY LAWS
(8) PERRY IS A STIMULUS HYPOCRITE WHO LOUDLY CRITICIZED FEDERAL RECOVERY MONEY BUT USED IT TO BALANCE HIS STATE’S BUDGET
(9) PERRY SAID THAT TEXAS MIGHT HAVE TO SECEDE FROM THE UNITED STATES
10) DESPITE HAVING THE WORST UNINSURED RATE IN THE COUNTRY, PERRY CLAIMS THAT TEXAS HAS “THE BEST HEALTH CARE IN THE COUNTRY”
As I mentioned before Perry is perhaps the only Republican that really concerns me, simply because he is all hair, southern charm, and Texas bullshit, which is EXACTLY the kind of Republican candidate that comes right out of central casting for the GOP faithful.
Essentially he has the looks of Mitt Romney, the swagger of George W. Bush, and the fundamentalist religious credentials of a Sarah Palin. (Yes I KNOW hers are fake, but the bots don't give a rat's ass.)
They take on look at this guy and they will see, almost literally, a cowboy in a white hat ready to ride into Washington and run "Black Barack" right out of town.
However after reading this article I have to admit I do feel somewhat more convinced that he might self-destruct before November as well. And that is how I like my Republican Presidential candidates; Full of hot air, and fatally flawed.
