Rick Perry: Texas Going Blue ‘Is the Biggest Pipedream I Have Ever Heard’

Feb. 24, 2013 1:14pm Madeleine Morgenstern

Texas is staying red, red, red.

Gov. Rick Perry on Saturday laughed off recent talk that his state could someday go blue, telling the Wall Street Journal it’s “the biggest pipedream I have ever heard.”

“The University of Texas will change its colors to maroon and white before Texas goes purple, much less blue,” the longtime Republican governor told the Journal. Maroon and white are the colors of Texas A&M, the University of Texas’s in-state arch rival.

The Texas Democratic Party said last week the biggest and most fail-safe red state in the country could “absolutely” become a swing state in 2016, particularly if Hillary Clinton runs. Texas has gone for the Republicans in every presidential election since 1980, but even the state’s Republican Party has said it’s not taking anything for granted.

“If she’s the nominee, I would say that this is a ‘lean Republican’ state but not a ‘solid Republican’ state,” Texas GOP Chairman Steve Munisteri told Real Clear Politics. “I don’t know anyone nationally who’s scoffing at this. The national party leadership is aware and tells me they’re taking it seriously.”

That’s on the heels of San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, who gave the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in September and said he was optimistic about his state first going purple and then blue before long.

“In a couple of presidential cycles, you’ll be on election night, you’ll be announcing we’re calling the 38 electoral votes of Texas for the Democratic nominee for president,” Castro said.

But Perry dismissed such talk for one reason: freedom.

“People in Texas truly aspire to freedom. They don’t want government coming in and telling them how much of this or how much of that,” he told the Journal.

“Democrats are about government getting bigger and bigger and government providing more and more,” he said. “Texans have never been for that, and Texans never will.”

We estimated around 2 million (a conservative estimate) fraudulent votes for Obama last time around! While not by themselves “game changer” If coupled with the folks who “Sat on their hands” because they would rather let the Progressives finish off this great nation than vote for someone they did much care for but would have caused far far less damage ( Yes Romney would have been much less “Toxic”) If the fraud were eliminated, And the folks I spoke of were motivated, Obama and his sick bretheren would be out on their lying butts right now and our economy would already be showing signs of a “real’ recovery! Simply put, If I had to chose between two thieves, I would chose the one who would just take things and go…Not the one who wants to “Burn the house down” as well

  Progressive claims to Texas are meant to discourage–to take advantage of — and heighten Republican disarray after these strange elections. They are preparing the public psyche for when the (electronic) vote count turns, in spite of polls and expectations, to the left.

  Republicans tend to vote for the best idea or candidate rather than a party line. Unlike Democrats who will vote democrat right or wrong, to hell with the consequences. This is a weakness for the republicans due to the fact that their base will walk away if they push party line instead of facts. Democrats know this and so are not above outright lies to attempt to dissuade republicans from staying with the Republican platform.

  Good post drop out. I hope you get an “A.” The latest reasonable estimate is that several hundred million votes were fraudulently cast, based on the finding that with a +/- 5% margin, 1 to 3 in a 100 voters for Democrats voted “two or more” times by claiming to be dead people according several universities who have researched the issue, as you have read here and something also reported by CNN and other cable networks. Some estimates are as high as several billion fraudulent votes, but I stand by and am willing to defend the more conservative calculation. Apparently, were it not for voter fraud Romney would have won by a landslide, thousands of votes at least, if not millions.
  
  Most Americans support House Republicans, and polls show their ratings are higher than ever. In the meantime, most Americans say President Obama is an abysmal failure who has done nothing but redistribute the nation’s wealth the opposite of upward, or reverse upward and then downward to the middle if you will.
  
  Americans aren’t stupid Mr. President!

  I don’t know who is doing your math drop out & meteor…
  Obama stole at least 5 out of every 10 votes cast for him which makes it an 8-figure theft, not a paltry couple million. I’ve heard that millions of inner-city ‘voters’, a lot were over 100 years old, were told to posthumously vote. They also discreetly put polling booths inside of prisons and even put them on the opposite side of the yard (playground) from the white supremacist groups so that Ron paul wouldn’t get a conspicuous number of votes from these areas. Finally, I heard from a reliable source that obama himself sent out mailers to democrats in all of the battleground states telling them all about fraudulent voting. He told them that they would have to find a list of eligible voters that were not going to vote, like dead people. They would have to match the names with the precincts, and go to each precinct individually and claim to be the man or woman who was actually dead…They would have to memorize some basic info on each as well. Afterward, since it would be quite obvious that they were fraudsters, they could expect to serve up to 10 years in jail and pay $50,000 for each offense. A good democrat would rack up 1000 years in prison if they worked hard. It’s all a big manipulative lie! Obama should have lost, if we just had voter id laws none of this would have happened! TRUE THE VOTE!!!!!!!!!

  You ConservAtives better wake up i reality. Texas already has the biggest Hispanic population in the country and by 2020 Texaswill definitely be a swing state and the Electorate will retails lean left.

Never say never, Gov. Perry. Last year I would never have bet that the Supreme Court would legitimize ObamaCare. Nor would I ever have thought in a million zillion years that a huge amount of Dum-Dums would embrace abortion rights and spit on any mention of The Lord.

I would NEVER have bet that voter fraud in America would become a socially sanctioned, civic duty of the zombie who vote for race before all else. I would not have bet that the GOP quickly jammed it’s collectively cowering head deep down into the sands of denial and whimpery, would NOT address the numerous instances of suspected voter fraud or appearance of highly inappropriate behavior by Dem voting Capitains. I learned not to underestimate the stupidity of the average (Dem) American voter.

  I have to agree Horse. I live in Texas and I wish we would be a bit more cautious of dimissing what the left is willing to do to win. When you are honest you think everyone is I suppose.
  
  In any case I don’t think it will happen soon, we have voter id and are very very conservative here. There are bastions of libs (Austin, San Antonio, Houston) but there are a BUNCH of us outside of those places and given a real conservative to vote for we will. See Ted Cruz election. Poor Dewhurst didn’t know what hit him.

I must disagree with the good Gov. If he keeps inviting Californians in, TX will go blue. Its happened in Colorado and a bunch of other states. The progressives leave CA because of oppression and then they move to states like TX and aren’t happy until the oppression goes there.

  It’s not the Californians, Karen. Take a look at the demographics of your state. Besides, why would (liberal) californians leave the liberal paradise of CA to move to the hot, flat, conservative bastion of TX? Most of the Californians that are moving to TX are conservatives, and you should welcome them with open arms.
  
  Demographics:
  Houston: 37.4% Hispanic, 25.3% Black, 30.8% White
  Dallas: 42.4% Hispanic, 25% Black, 28.8% White
  San Antonio: 63.2% Hispanic, 26.6% White
  Fort Worth: 33.8% Hispanic, Black 18.0%, White 43.4%
  El Paso: 80.0% Hispanic, 15% White
  Austin: 35.1% Hispanic, 48.7% White
  State of Texas: 44.8% White, 38.1% Hispanic, 12.2% Black (2010 census)
  
  As you can see, whites are slowly becoming a minority in Texas, and are already minorities in most of the largest cities. Don’t be fooled by all those red counties, because California has a lot of red counties as well, but those are rural counties. All of Texas’ most populous counties went for obama in 2012.
  
  So, unfortunately, Texas WILL be a blue state soon. But don’t move out because of that, if all of those Californians hadn’t left, then California’s 55 electoral votes might have a chance at going for the Republican.

  While I know that the Right would love nothing more than for the Left to start raising up against its own party, the Left, for the most part, still likes and respects not only the Democratic Party, but also it’s leaders. Not so much with the Right. The Right is falling apart at the seams without any help from the Left. You are all your own worst enemy, and I predict that it will be a long haul back up to the top.

  It takes a surprising amount of pain for people to realize that the figures in the cults of personality are actually bad for them. Previous incidents of history have shown exactly that, even when their nations are burning down around them, they still believe in their great leaders.
  
  We tried fighting him like he was a presidential candidate, we didn’t realize that we were trying to break a false god before his followers. I fear it will take complete destruction of him or this nation to put an end to this “honeymoon” period.

He’s right. One of the alinsky radical’s schemes is to tell people what to think, by pretending it is the popular thing to think. Sheeple hunting! Only fools fall foe this ‘Groupthink” mentality. Granted, they are many. Just remind the kiddos when you run into them that they are being played for sheep.

  Not so. Hispanics are conservative folk. They are merely exploited through alinsky fear tactics. They are not stupid. Stop playing the alinsky shuffle. Get out and confront the ruse.
  Most Latinos do not take the time to come here only to get what they left to get away from. Same as any other immigrant.

  Ray is correct. I left Texas, a state I truly care for, about three years ago, largely because of this. The border counties are all Dem. So is a strip from San Antonio, through Houston, Austin, and into DFW. The border and the major cities. This is in no small part due to politicians like Governor Goodhair who talk the talk, but absolutely will not walk the walk with regards to illegal immigration. Texas cannot pass any Arizona type immigration laws because the Dems are already too powerful. Rick Perry is not popular in Texas. He has proven too many times he will say what he needs to get elected but will not follow through. Texas is already purple. Dems hold EVERY elected position in Dallas (at least at the time I got my family, and tax dollars, out of the area). Texas will be blue soon enough. Trust what Governor Perry says at your own peril. Poor immigrants are here to work, but also for the government benefits. They will vote for those who give them other people’s money. Period. They will, and do, vote overwhelmingly Democrat.

  Keep believing, Granny. Demographics are destiny. I no longer have to press one for English. How about you?
  
  In 2006 or so, Republican, under Perry, shelved proposed legislation intended to discourage illegal immigration at the state level. They, the Republican leadership, refused to allow the legislation to come to a vote in Austin. Perry only put cameras on the border, so we could watch on the Internet and call in if we saw anything suspicious. I am not kidding. The illegals kept shooting out the cameras. If you are a Texan, you remember that. I kept up with Texas politics for over thirty years. Rural Texas is still the conservative Texas. The cities, and Perry, not so much. The trend is not your friend. Bienvenidos a Mexico, abuela.

  @ObtuseAngler Yes, I am Texan. Every little vein filled with Texas blood. Been here all my life and then some. Born here, gonna die here. Unless a tornado blows me away. Immigration is a complicated issue and for sure I don’t know the answer. Just doing the best I can. I have friends, have worked with and have neighbors who are Hispanic. I have cared for children who are Hispanic. I grew up with and graduated with children of migrant workers. They were no different than me. Just kids. Now old. Somewhere in my psyche I have always rooted for the underdog and disdain bigots and racists. I have also had friends Christians such as myself, Blacks, and “gay” people and one Japanese friend. I have never had a Martian friend but haven’t been to Mars. I like Gov. Perry. Barack Hussein Obama doesn’t like him and that’s good enough for me. I have said in the past I would not vote anyone a 4th term but you can guaran damn tee I will if no one steps to the plate more conservative. Tea Party conservative. Marco Rubio is right in my opinion about a comprehensive plan. We have to do something. I don’t like illegal and I don’t believe in gay marriage but I like people. Mostly. Except liberals. You are right as well but no, I do not think we will turn blue. Have you ever watched the movie Bernie with Jack Black? You should. I am from the ? mark and now behind the pines. Signing off.

  What evidence of voter fraud in Florida are you talking about? The Florida GOP, the national GOP, nor the Romney campaign suggested any fraud.
  
  By the way, it wasn’t long ago when Republican leadership in Virginia, Ohio, North Carolina, Florida, Colorado and New Mexico were claiming the same thing about their states that Perry is about Texas.
  It’s not the elections that are frauds so much as the ideas.

And with the success of the Democrat Media Assassination Squad over the past 4 years and with the MSM in the hip pocket of the Chicago radicals, ” what difference does it make now ?” The Obama school records are still hidden and so are all of the other dishonest deeds these charlatans have pulled since Obama appeared on the political scene .

  Who estimated? Your local tea-****** club? Seriously. Provide some evidence or shut up already. The President is a Democrat. He is black. He was born in a state that wasn’t a state when your granny was little. He won. Twice. Because you had no one that could beat him. The country is okay with all that, all except neanderthals like you. Produce the evidence you used to estimate 2 million fraudulent votes or shut

  @tonypro
  I think you are looking at data drawn from the category ‘cards counted’. In areas with a multi-page ballot, each page registered as a ballot card passed through the machine. Therefore if 10000 people are registered, and 6000 people vote, they each turn in two pages and FOX viewers think it was 12000 individual ballots. I say FOX viewers because this information was everywhere, every network, AP, every news site…except FOX, who usually won’t let the facts ruin a good conspiracy.

  Voter fraud is an accepted practice in the criminal network.
  Democrats own the monopoly in criminal activity.
  That’s the fact.
