Más sobre Rick Perry

Su anuncio ha generado bastante polémica, lo que nos ha permitido saber que el compositor que compuso la canción de fondo del vídeo es Aaron Copland, judío y gay. Además, la chaqueta que lleva en el vídeo es sospechosamente parecida a la que llevaba Heath Ledger en Brokerback Mountain.

En wikipedia podemos leer otras hazañas del sucesor de Bush en Texas:

(Health) As Governor, Perry has been an outspoken opponent of federal health-care reform proposals and of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, describing the latter as "socialism on American soil".^[57] Perry's focus in Texas has been on tort reform, signing a bill in 2003 which restricted non-economic damages in medical malpractice judgments.^[58]

(Death Penalty) Perry supports the death penalty.^[84] In June 2002, he vetoed a ban on the execution of mentally retarded inmates. ^[81] As of August 10, 2011, Texas has carried out 234 executions since Rick Perry became governor.^[85] Cases in which Perry has been criticized for his lack of intervention include those of Cameron Todd Willingham, Frances Newton, and Mexican nationals José Medellín and Humberto Leal Garcia.^{[86][87][88][89]}

(Religion) In 2006, Perry stated that he believes in the inerrancy of the Bible and that those who do not accept Jesus as their savior will go to hell. He later clarified, "I don't know that there's any human being that has the ability to interpret what God and his final decision-making is going to be."^[71]

(Gay) In his first book, On My Honor, published in 2008, Perry drew a parallel between homosexuality and alcoholism, writing that he is “no expert on the ‘nature versus nurture’ debate,” but that gays should simply choose abstinence.^[18] In 2002, Perry described the Texas same-sex anti-sodomy law as "appropriate".^[19] The United States Supreme Court's landmark civil rights decision in Lawrence v. Texas struck down the statute Perry referred to the following year for violating the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution.

(Environment) Perry opposes regulation of greenhouse gas emissions because he says it would have "devastating implications" for the Texas economy and energy industry.

(Tax) In October 2011, Perry put forwards a flat tax proposal that would allow taxpayers to choose either their tax rate under existing law or a flat 20% rate. The plan would also eliminate taxes on Social Security benefits and inheritances. Asked if his tax plan would help wealthy taxpayers, Perry said he was not concerned about that because a lower tax rate would encourage greater investment and job creation by the wealthy.^[54][55]
