Gov Rick Perry Calls Runaway Wisconsin Lawmakers "Immature and Juvenile"

Ardmore, Oklahoma, was the destination of the Texas Democrats who pulled this trick. It not only didn't go over well in Texas but in Oklahoma, Republicans solidified their hold on the Oklahoma in 2004 after they saw what the Texas Democrats did.

We give it up to Oklahoma Democrats who are in a huge minority in the House and now a minority party in the Senate -- they don't run away. They know better than to pull a stunt like that after being in charge in Oklahoma except for two years in the House since Oklahoma became a state. Here they would not get reelected if they ran away.

To run away is so lame because you are not getting your way. Guess the Democrats cannot stand being in the minority party and not dictating. Spoiled, selfish brats comes to mind. If public service unions thinks they are gaining support with all of this, they had better think again. They make more for less hours than a lot of taxpayers make not to mention their cadillac benefits which are far superior to the federal employees. Public Service Employees paying little to nothing for healthcare versus the $400+ a month federal employees pay for the same healthcare plan. Looks like Congress is a tougher negotiator than the states.

Governor Perry is telling it like it is. Still think he should run for President in 2012 and clean up DC.

Long before Gov. Scott Walker watched Democrats flee Wisconsin last week, a similar scenario played out in Texas when another first-term governor faced a contentious political debate.




In 2003, Gov. Rick Perry was only beginning to make his mark on the Lone Star State. Eight years later, the experience gives him a unique perspective on Walker’s situation. During an interview Friday in Washington, D.C., Perry had nothing nice to say about the 14 Wisconsin senators who ran for Illinois to prevent a quorum in the state Senate.

“Instead of respecting the democratic process, they run off and somehow or another think that’s going to be productive,” Perry said. “I don’t think it is. I think people, they look at this like, you know, the kid who takes his ball. I can’t win, I can’t play, then nobody else is going to.”

He added: “That is immature, is juvenile and at the end of the day, I’ll betcha the folks of Wisconsin, they punish those senators rather than heralding them as heroes.
