I love Republican primary season. The smell of Republican desperation wafting in the breeze. Watching all the Republican's buzzing about from one right wing group to another, just hoping to become the next big star of their party. Sometimes they even nip at each other like a pack of greedy puppies fighting for their mother's attention. However cute, and entertaining I find all that, I have to admit my favorite times are when they turn on each other like a pack of starving coyotes fighting over a meaty bone.
NH tea party group goes after PerryGov. Rick Perry has enjoyed support from many in the Texas tea party movement, but he recently received a chillier reception in New Hampshire, home of the nation’s first presidential primary.
The New Hampshire Tea Party Coalition, an organization of 47 like-minded groups, has published a blog post that criticizes Perry over a number of issues, including his support for the DREAM Act of 2001, which let certain illegal immigrants pay cheaper in-state tuition to attend Texas universities.
The lengthy post includes links to coverage of Perry’s now-abandoned Trans Texas Corridor toll road plan and his short-lived 2007 executive order requiring that Texas schoolgirls be vaccinated against the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus.
The site also notes that Perry, before joining the Republican Party, was Democrat Al Gore’s Texas campaign chairman in 1988 and endorsed “liberal cross dresser and gun grabber” Rudy Giuliani in the 2008 GOP presidential race.

Due to the great success of the NHTPC in NH, other states have bonded with us and share information. Those states are Iowa, Oregon, Colorado, Florida, and TEXAS. We are united across America and will circumvent the tea party HIJACKERS who are proclaiming their support for candidates like Romney and Perry.
Regarding Perry, please see this email received from Texas just this morning 6/30/2011.
It is a testimony to what is being said about Rick Perry.
Dear friends,
I am notifying you all of a very serious situation. I have forwarded you a message (and link to a video) below that we have sent out to our Texas friends, and I am asking you to inform your grassroots groups of the blatant and intentional political game playing shenanigans that occured in the Texas Legislature. The tricks that were played were unbeliveable. If I had not seen them my own eyes I wouldn’t believe it. Bottom line:
Rick Perry has been flirting with the possibility of running for president. How can he lead America if he cannot lead Texas?
