Big Texas news, on the morning of Tuesday October 17, 2007 Governor Rick Perry endorsed former mayor of New York and Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani for president. Perry appeared on Fox News saying he would campaign for a man who would be America’s best leader during a war on terror. The governor has apparently thought long and hard about this endorsement for the past several months. Perry is very conservative and has some different views on the issues with Giuliani who supports abortion and gay rights. Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson supports U.S. Senator Fred Thompson, but Perry backs Giuliani stating that he has the ability to make our America a safer place and move our economy forward. These are two very positive steps to get results on during a war on terror.
Governor Rick Perry is being looked at strongly for possible contender for vice presidential candidate; if Giuliani definitely chooses him to run along side in 2008. Perry has commented on Fox Network that he has no desire to run, but would rather finish out his term in a great state with a great economy and stay away from Washington. Will Governor Rick Perry, not unlike his predecessor President George Bush, decide to play a roll in Washington D.C. politics and run for office?
Governor Rick Perry is a “party hoppin’” ex-Democrat himself. James Richard Perry was born on March 4, 1950. He has a chance of being the longest serving governor in Texas history, with 10 years of total uninterrupted service. Perry was elected as a Democrat to the State Board of Education in 1978. He then served 3 terms in the Texas House of Representatives as a Democrat, and was well known as an effective legislator. Governor Perry joined the Republican Party in 1989. The governor was agriculture commissioner from 1991-1999.
Governor Perry instituted the CHIP program designed to insure 500,000 children. He has increased health funding by 6 billion dollars. Perry has allocated 9 billion dollars to schools. He supports a tough stance on crime and has backed block grants for crime programs. Planning to reduce taxes and increase numbers of jobs in Texas, Perry supported bills like HB-3, the property tax reform bill. Recently Perry has come under fire for his alleged violation of the Logan Act, while attending the Bilderberg Group’s meeting in Istanbul, Turkey.
Whether you like Rick Perry or not, you should know he has a chance to become governor again in 2010, and plans to run. Governor Perry the Methodist social conservative who has the record for the most vetoes during a legislative session has evidently become softer amidst fire that he is one of the poorest Texas governors. Scores of people would like to see him impeached. His recent endorsement of Giuliani proves to me that Perry wants to be accepted. Is this Perry’s old Democratic side coming out again? Perry is handing Texas employers tax credits due to a surplus of money, and has named Robert Scott Texas Education Commissioner. Will the stunned GOP continue to back Perry on all the issues? I believe the governor will continue to campaign with Giuliani and may increase his support at the polls for the gubernatorial 2010 election for more modest views.
