Getting Even--Could Rick Perry Be Moving to California?

Could Texas Gov. Rick Perry be California dreamin'?

The Republican has made convincing top employers to move to Texas a centerpiece of his administration. He's even led job-poaching missions in Democratically controlled states.

California has been a prime target, with Perry bashing what he calls the Golden State's high-tax, over-regulated ways.

But a New York Times Magazine story released Tuesday says Perry told the reporter "he loves California" and "might even move" there in January, when his term ends.

Perry isn't seeking re-election in November but hasn't ruled out a second presidential run. In April, he scored a political victory when Toyota announced it was moving its U.S. headquarters from California to Texas.

[font color=green]Meanwhile in other news, I think that I just lost my California fan base.

Okay to make it easy for other DUers please feel free to copy and paste one of the following:
"What did California do to you, {insert expletive}?" or "{insert expletive} you, Towelie."

He loves this "high-tax, over-regulated" place so much he wants to move here. Funny, Mitt did that too. What is it about all these taxes and regulations that attract the wealthy like moths to a porch light?



Rick, buddy listen, this high-tax over-regulated libtard paradise is the 6th largest economy in the world--not the country--the world. You would be in way over your head with something like that and I really don't want you to embarrass yourself.

Stay in your little right-wing piece of Americana down south there and we over here in the big blue state with the fat budget surplus courtesy of a liberal state government will continue to send you federal money and the occasional corporate HQ.

Toodles!

He has a point and I'm sure if he moved here he would be on a mission to rally the troops.

In so many ways, so does California, so does the Nation. Even if these bigoted bastards wish California would just simply slip off into the sea, they can't ignore us because we lead the country in so many ways
