I can't believe I agree with Rick Perry about something...

Apparently Governor Coyote Killer doesn't want the Arizona law in Texas:

"I fully recognize and support a state's right and obligation to protect its citizens, but I have concerns with portions of the law passed in Arizona and believe it would not be the right direction for Texas,” Perry said in a written statement.

“For example, some aspects of the law turn law enforcement officers into immigration officials by requiring them to determine immigration status during any lawful contact with a suspected alien, taking them away from their existing law enforcement duties, which are critical to keeping citizens safe.”

I REALLY REALLY hope this will rile up the teabaggers and get them to run a third party candidate so that Bill White can take the governor's seat. One can hope, can't they?

1. I agree with him too! That and the Governor's Mansion did need a new coat of paint.

It just goes to show when we really try we CAN find common ground on some things. :smoke:

2. San Antonio is already having protests about the Arizona law

The police chief of San Antonio spoke at one today. This town will go ape shit if they try that here, though much of the state will support it.

3. Either that

or simply get disgusted and stay home and not vote.

4. Except that yesterday he was for it

Seems he is taking note of the loss of tourism dollars that will devastate Arizona's already bubble-burst fragile economy.
