Don't remember him supporting liberal policy in Texas for the last 10 years? Higher taxes, forced vaccinations, pro-TSA groping, pro-illegal immigration, pro-NAFTA. He's a RiNO if there ever was one.Comment

TSA gropings and NAFTA sound pretty Republican to me.Comment

Most Republicans are liberal, dip****. They spout conservative, tea-party rhetoric then turn around endorse statism to no end. Surely this isn't news to you.Comment

Calling nearly all Republicans "RiNO's" is pretty retarded. If most Republicans believe something, then that's what Republicans stand for.Comment

Fair enough. We can just call them the "other" liberal party.Comment

His comments wrt a bi national health insurance program with Mexico, support of in state tuition breaks to Texas colleges and universities, and attacking people for daring to be critical of him passing such a measure as being heartless.Originally posted by gribbler View PostI make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara

I've never heard of bi-national health insurance before. The first thing I found on Google:
Except that bi-national health insurance, as Perry once proposed it, is precisely the kind of free-market health policy solution we need more of, not less. Here is the relevant excerpt from the speech that Gov. Perry gave in August 2001 at a U.S.-Mexico Border Summit with regional governors and legislators from both countries (emphasis added):There are other challenges that require a unified approach, especially in the area of health care. A lack of preventative medicine means conditions that could have been eliminated through childhood immunizations show up in disturbing numbers later in life. Limited availability of medical specialists means conditions like heart disease and diabetes go untreated at alarming rates. In Texas, we recently placed a strong emphasis on preventative care when we expanded access to Medicaid for more low-income children by making the Medicaid enrollment process simpler. We allocated an additional $4 billion to the Medicaid program, and more than $900 million to the Children’s Health Insurance Program. I urged legislators to pass a telemedicine pilot program that will enable, through technology, a sick border resident of limited financial means to receive care from a specialist hundreds of miles away. But the effort to combat disease and illness requires greater cooperative efforts between our two nations. It is a simple truth that disease knows no boundaries. An outbreak of drug-resistant tuberculosis, for example, endangers citizens of both our nations. We have much to gain if we work together to expand preventative care, and treat maladies unique to this region.Contrary to Sen. Santorum’s impression, the idea here was to explore the possibility of allowing private insurers to cover health services provided in either Texas or Mexico. It was an attempt at studying the deregulation of the provision of health insurance by private entities.
Legislation authored by border legislators Pat Haggerty and Eddie Lucio establishes an important study that will look at the feasibility of bi-national health insurance. This study recognizes that the Mexican and U.S. sides of the border compose one region, and we must address health care problems throughout that region. That’s why I am also excited that Texas Secretary of State Henry Cuellar is working on an initiative that could extend the benefits of telemedicine to individuals living on the Mexican side of the border.
That's a liberal policy? Okay then.Comment

Rick perry wanted to pass legislation trying to illegalize the groping in the state of Texas. TSA threatened to shut down every airport in Texas.Originally posted by gribbler View PostIf there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?
