Perry links D.A. slayings with border security

Asked to offer conjecture Wednesday on the weekend slaying of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland , Gov. Rick Perry told Fox News Channel it was too early to speculate.

Then, the outspoken chief of state spent several minutes doing just that.

In an interview with Fox's Jenna Lee, Perry quickly tied the killing to one of his favorite topics: the federal government's role in Texas' porous border.

“We know the drug cartels are very, very active in this country,” the governor said. “It goes back to the whole issue of border security and the failure of the federal government ... to expend the dollars necessary to secure the border with Mexico.”

He offered no evidence to suggest McLelland's slayings had border connections.

These guys were all white guys with typically European-origin surnames who speak "'murrican," dollars to donuts says that each and every one of them was born here in the US, and Governor Good-hair wants us to believe that this is related to the Mexican border?



Only in the Perry-verse and among thoughtless, low-information right-wing voters.

In doing some read up on the members of the AB, many of them are illiterate with a mid elementary reading and writing/spelling level. Texas removed the phonic approach to teaching language arts from public schools in the early 1980s. Texas still has about a 65% failure rate on language arts mastery for students. Keep this is mind when you think about the decision making of Rick Perry and the rest of the TEA party Legislature.
