Rick Perry does protest too much. If he was born in a later generation, he might have chosen a different path in life to be himself. So Sad.
What is most disturbing to me about him, and he seemed to get a total pass from the media for it, was when Rick Perry promoted Texas' secession from the Union when things didn't go the Republican's way. I guess it's cool to be a traitor as long as you're born again. It's amazing what the conservative base will overlook! Obviously, he has no loyalty to the Constitution like he does to Jesus.
Besides, no state is allowed to seceed. But the interesting thing about Texas history is that it does have the option to divide into 5 states, as it was so geographically large compared to the others at the time of joining. Texan pride (arrogance) prevented this, and it's probably a good thing, as they all would have been slave states and shifted politics in the Senate for sure....a much different history. The option is still legally there, so maybe progressive places like Austin can seceed from Texas to free itself.
I miss Ann Richards.
