Perry raises possibility of states' rights showdown with White House over healthcare

I earmarked this story last week, but it got thrown in the sock drawer.  Now, two paragraphs into No Help for the Blue Dogs, I remembered it. I'm heartened beyond words over these recent state resolutions affirming states' rights, but, you know.  Today's political class have grown up thinking they can threaten this and that, and then reach some meaningless face-saving accommodation in the end, and everyone forgets.  House members are in the midst of doing this right now with health care.  All any of them worry about is having a good umbrella against foul constituencies. Obama Care should be ripped up, burned, and its sponsors stoned., but we'll end up with at least 50% of it, which may be the plan all along. But, If Perry is for real, then I will, Davy Crockett like, grab my musket and head off for Texas to defend my new country.  STG. Won't be no Alamo either. I note that Perry is being challenged for reelection by Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson.  I'm not a Texas voter, but you did an okay job Senator. Now why not take up knitting or something? You're too establishment not to keep 'getting along' any more.
