Rick Perry Thinking Of Running For President In 2012—A View From Texas
Texas Governor Rick Perry says he will consider running for President.

If Americans want another Texas Governor as President, one who to the right of even George W. Bush, that is a choice people are free to make.
While I take nothing for granted, my guess is that this is not what the nation wants.
Here is a viewpoint sympathetic to Mr. Perry’s candidacy from the Fox News digital politics editor.
I make no secret that I’m to the left of most voters. Independents and people in the center can read the link above and figure out what they think of Governor Perry for themselves.
If the state can force one type of unwanted medical procedure on free citizens, than why can’t it force any type of unwanted medical procedure on free citizens?
Not even Texas Republicans are on-board with the idea of Mr. Perry running for the White House. Governor Perry stands at 4% in a poll of Texas Republican Presidential preferences.
Whoever the Republican nominee is in 2012, one thing will be certain. He or she will be from the far-right of the political spectrum.
Folks can decide what they want at the ballot box in 2012.

The signature post of this blog is the Martin Luther King Reading & Reference List. This list is the best of it’s kind on the web.
Another good post is my reciting the words to the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts on Galveston Island, Texas as a ship passes behind.
I live in Houston, Texas and I do sometimes write about political issues in Houston and in Texas.
I also often write about my former hometown of Cincinnati, and about the great beach city of Galveston, Texas.
I define liberalism as a role for government in the economy to help make life more fair, and a broad acceptance of people regardless of who they are.
This is why it says “All People Matter” at the top of the blog.
A blog grows one reader at a time. If you like what you read here, please consider forwarding the link.

I also blog at the Houston Chronicle as one of eight featured political bloggers, and on Where’s The Outrage? which posts out of North Carolina.
Thanks for reading Texas Liberal.
