Rick Perry: Soon, Gov Of TX Will Be More Powerful Than POTUS

(snip)
Now that he's in charge of helping more Republican governors get elected, it perhaps makes sense that he'd be so darn into the job. But Perry also sought to tamp down rumors that a presidential run is in his future by making it clear he has the job he wants -- and also suggesting that the job everyone thinks he wants won't amount to much pretty soon.

Perry has cast himself as the Pied Piper for decentralized federal power lately. Along with Social Security, Perry thinks states should be able to secede from the Department of Education, the EPA, the new health care law (natch) and other federal programs he thinks represent a vast Constitutional overreach by Washington politicians of both parties.

With that in mind, don't be too surprised by his adamant denial of rumors that he might follow in the footsteps of the man he replaced in Austin, George W. Bush, and run for president in 2012. It's not that Perry doesn't have ambition, he told Fox's Chris Wallace yesterday -- it's that he thinks the Governor of Texas will soon be more powerful than the President.

He's all about hyping the 10th amendment and whining that the power should be in the states. If it was up to our idiot Governor, he would secede and let lawless corporations run rampant over the whole state. :puke:
