Perry the hypocrite

Gov. Perry is revealing his true hypocrite colors. He claims he is solidly against the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that President Obama signed into law today. He even came up with his own Web site featuring a bleeding American flag to rail against the stimulus program. Why? Because he wants to be able to run to the right of Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison in the upcoming gubernatorial battle.

However, Perry has dispensed two of his top commissioners to the House Appropriations Committee to explain how the governor plans to use stimulus funds. HHSC Commissioner Albert Hawkins said the money will be needed for providing health care for Texas children and Education Commissioner Robert Scott told committee members that stimulus funds will be used to pay for textbooks that Republicans in the legislature have refused to fund for the last six years.

The man speaketh out of both sides of his political mouth.
