Texas GOP Gov. Rick Perry accused President Barack Obama on Wednesday of punishing Texas and being hell-bent on turning the United States into a socialist country.
Speaking at a luncheon for a Midland County Republican Womens group, Perry said that this is an administration hell-bent toward taking American towards a socialist country. And we all dont need to be afraid to say that because thats what it is.
Perry praised the tea party movement to the Republican activists in attendance, crediting the grassroots groups with discouraging some Democrats in Washington from pushing for a public option in the health care bill.
If you all think those tea parties didnt work, then let me tell you something, Perry said. When they all came home in August for those town hall meetings, they got an earful. Then they went back to Washington, D.C. and the Senate voted that public option down in committee with a majority of Democrats in the Senate.
Perry also accused the Obama administration of intentionally dumping illegal immigrants from other western states in Texas, recalling a conversation he had with local officials notifying him that illegal aliens that were caught in Nogales, Arizona were being dropped off by federal authorities in Presidio, Texas.
Friday a week ago, I got not a phone call from Washington, not a letter from Washington and as a matter of fact, I dont think any member of our congressional delegation was even notified. The first time we were contacted was by the superintendent of the school and the county judge of Presidio County, Perry said.
They said, do you all know whats fixin to happen? I said, well, no. Whats going on? They said the government has just called us and said for us to get ready for an influx of illegal aliens who were captured illegally crossing the border.
Its called the alien transfer-and-exit program, Perry told the crowd, trucking them from Nogales, past El Paso down to our western border in Presidio.
The Texas governor said he sees the action as punishing this state and urged the assembled Republicans to stand up to Washington.
I say its time to make tea parties twice as big as what they were, Perry declared. I think its time for us to stand up and say to Washington, D.C. that we are no longer going to accept that kind of stuff sitting down and being quiet.
@madisonelectronic you are a fucking inbred hick. the us has the highest incarceration rate, and one of the worst education systems in the world. not to mention the average americans pays much more than the average swede for health care. and the infancy death rate is much lower in Sweden and life expectancy is much higher in Sweden. you fucking retard go back to blaming scientists and liberals the people who made your country worth more than a piece of shit.

@madisonelectronic Did I ever write that I don't live in Sweden? Because I actually do dumbass. Oh, thats another thing, here in Sweden we aren't stupid fucking conservatives so we have a working educational system and most people here can speak 3 languages. I bet you're a stupid southerner that praises gods name after Rick Perry drops his BS lines. Stupid ass motherfucker....

@golf2n2 I agree, people forget that clinton left a surplus and Bush went thru it, went to war and created this problem. The Tea Party look like Bullies, since 2010, nothing happens in Washington because of them. all who were elected due to their support are puppets to their will and not whats good for america. We need to stand up to these people and shut them down. They have made everything worse. Dont blame Obama, look at what congress is doing NOTHING thanks to them and who they elected

Im writing this as an American-Swedish citizen and human being. Rick Perry will ruin your country if he gets elected. Swedish has been a socialist country for over 80 years and we have social healtcare we have EXTREMLY low poverty rates and the workers control the country. It's gotten worse here since the right wing was elected though. But if America was a socialist country you guys would be a lot better of. Maybe you should do some research of what socialism actually is.

@golf2n2 You are obviously completely closed-minded. What possible reason is there to "release" illegal aliens arrested in California in Presidio, Texas? You are just another partisan spreading hate because you can't defend what you believe. I am not a Republican or a Democrat but I'll vote for ANYONE who promises to slow down the growth of the federal government.
