AUSTIN, Texas — Republican Gov. Rick Perry joined a group of lawmakers Thursday in speaking out against the federal government and for a Texas House resolution that supports states' rights in the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

"I believe that our federal government has become oppressive. I believe it's become oppressive in its size, its intrusion into the lives of our citizens and its interference with the affairs of our state," Perry said. He said Texas has economic strength, while Washington has a "federal budget mess."

Perry's anti-Washington remarks have been heating up lately, in his race for re-election against U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, a fellow Republican, and in his rejection of $550 million of federal economic stimulus money for unemployment insurance. Perry said the unemployment money comes with mandates from the federal government that the state change the way it runs its unemployment system. He contends Texas employers would be left paying that bill long after the federal money runs out.

Answering a question from a news reporter, Perry suggested that Hutchison is part of the federal government's expansion.

Hutchison's campaign spokesman, Hans Klingler, responded, "Texans know Kay Bailey Hutchison works tirelessly for our great state. Unfortunately, this is another example in a long history of Rick Perry choosing the political low road."

The House resolution for states' rights is by Reps. Brandon Creighton, R-Conroe; Ryan Guillen, D-Laredo; Leo Berman, R-Tyler; Bryan Hughes, R-Mineola; and Dan Gattis, R-Georgetown. Perry joined lawmakers at a Capitol news conference.

Take that Obama!
All fellow Texans!, you thoughts please.

Good Luck with that, but I think the ship sailed 144 years ago.

Buh-bye Texas. Have fun dealing with that Mexican border drug-issue thingy by yerselves.

And nukes. A federal budget mess and nukes. Come get some.

I have no problem with well run state governments calling out the federal government on their heiness behavior over the past few decades. I am not sure if Texas is a well run state government though.

Why is this resolution coming out now, instead of at any point in the last eight years of the Bush Administration? Just a bunch of bull****, like these retarded-ass tea parties.

[Lefty Scaevola]

Why is this resolution coming out now,.

Because Perry has a strong conservative challenger in the upcoming primaries for state offices.

Yeah, I hate people exercising their political rights too. Throw rocks at them.

[SlowwHand]

I've been saying it for years. Texas could well leave. We're tired of the bull****.

Perry's a dumbass, and is the odds-on loser in the primary. He's actually making Hutchison appealing, which is no mean feat. I might actually vote for her in the primary to avoid a third term of this jackassery (more the unemployment insurance grandstanding than this, though).

[SlowwHand]

I could vote for Hutchison. You're the dumbass if you think she's all that different on the issues.

[Guynemer]

Wow, a nonbinding state House resolution. What a great show of political courage!

Wanker.

[Ramo]

I could vote for Hutchison. You're the dumbass if you think she's all that different on the issues.

Where did I say that she's "all that different on the issues?" Dumbasses typically have problems with reading, FYI.

I said that she didn't take the the '**** position on accepting unemployment insurance funds from the feds.

Yeah, the tea baggers are pretty damn stupid. They don't even know they're being played by the same party big whigs who've always played them.

Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out then.

Course, you lost the right to secede when you were defeated by the United States in your last attempt to leave, *****es. USA! USA! USA!

You know, that might not be a bad idea. Let all the b1tchy red states leave the union, so the blue states don't have to support them anymore.
