Perry raises possibility of states' rights showdown with White House over healthcare BY DAVE MONTGOMERY
AUSTIN — Gov. Rick Perry, raising the specter of a showdown with the Obama administration, suggested Thursday that he would consider invoking states rights protections under the 10th Amendment to resist the presidents healthcare plan, which he said would be "disastrous" for Texas.
Interviewed by conservative talk show host Mark Davis of Dallas WBAP/820 AM, Perry said his first hope is that Congress will defeat the plan, which both Perry and Davis described as "Obama Care." But should it pass, Perry predicted that Texas and a "number" of states might resist the federal health mandate.
"I think youll hear states and governors standing up and saying 'no to this type of encroachment on the states with their healthcare," Perry said. "So my hope is that we never have to have that stand-up. But Im certainly willing and ready for the fight if this administration continues to try to force their very expansive government philosophy down our collective throats."
Perry, the states longest-serving governor, has made defiance of Washington a hallmark of his state administration as well as his emerging re-election campaign against U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison in the 2010 Republican primary. Earlier this year, Perry refused $555 million in federal unemployment stimulus money, saying it would subject Texas to long-term costs after the federal dollars ended.
Interviewed after returning from a trip to Iraq and Afghanistan, Perry spoke out against President Barack Obamas healthcare package less than 24 hours after the president used a prime-time news conference Wednesday night to try to sell the massive legislative package to Congress and the public.

This guy is a freaking tool, after 10 years he finally finds out what the tenth amendment is what a joke. He's just trying to pander to the Tea Party groups, 9/12 groups, and all of the paleo conservatives.
"These governor's that stood up and said, "please send us more money, bail us out", I don't think have their state's interests in mind." Those are some pretty hollow words coming from the dude who was requesting stimulus money to fight the swine flu days after threating to secede Texas. On health care and economics, I won't be taking any of your advice, Mr. Perry, thank you very much.
GOD BLESS, TEXAS & ALL TRUE PATRIOTS! 10 Amendment! STATES RIGHTS! SECESSION! It's the right thing to do! 2nd Amendment! Without 2nd, THERE NO OTHERS! SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS! DEO VINDICE!
