As Politico first pointed out, Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) said at a Midland County Republican Women’s group luncheon yesterday that the Obama administration is “hell-bent” on moving America towards socialism.
“This is an administration hell-bent on taking America towards a socialist country,” Perry said.
This is an administration that I see punishing this state. I say it’s time for us to stand up. I say it’s time to make tea parties twice as big as what they were.
“Let me tell you, it works,’ Perry said of the tea parties. “If you all think those tea parties didn’t work, then let me tell you something — when they all came home in August, and were going to different places and town hall meetings, they got an earful. Then they went back to Washington, D.C. and the Senate voted that public option down in Senate committee with a majority of Democrats in the Senate.”
“You better believe they’re listening.”
