Rick Perry Opposes Confederate License Plates in Texas

Texas Gov. Rick Perry has come out against the marketing of a Confederate license plate in his state, an issue that could come up again in his bid for the Republican presidential nomination.
The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles board has been considering the application for months. In April, the board deadlocked in a four-to-four vote on the plate, with another vote scheduled for next month.
On Wednesday, Perry broke his silence on the issue and said in an interview with the St. Petersburg Times and Tampa's Bay 9 News that he opposes the measure—an opinion that could very well shape the vote since the DMV board are all Perry appointees.
"That's just a part of history . . . . You don't need to scrape that wound again," Perry said. "It just doesn't need to happen."

I suspect the sound you hear is the great right hopes effort to be President dying.

At first, I really liked Perry. But every time I turn around, he's done something else that's annoying.

I suspect you liked the image of Perry and Texas and were unfamiliar with what he actually did in Texas. I went to school in Texas and I've never been impressed with Perry. The image he tried to portray early in this primary race is not him at all.

You caught me. Yes, the image of Perry, which was originally presented to me, was quite appealing. The more I find out about him, though...
And this is why I don't base my votes on first impressions, lol.
