Perry Pledges That Giuliani Will Overturne Roe Vs. Wade

As he fielded questions about his gold lamé boots on the campaign trail in Iowa, Texas governor Rick Perry told voters in the Hawkeye State all about how Rudy Giuliani will overturn Roe vs. Wade if he’s elected president:
But his message is that all that matters is who a president would put on the Supreme Court, the place where any ruling eliminating the right to an abortion would be made. Perry said Giuliani gave his word that he would appoint “strict constructionist judges,” the kind that abortion foes think would strike down Roe v. Wade, the case that established a constitutional right to abortion.
Of course, this isn’t the first time Perry has spoken like this. Back in October, statewide newspapers, AP, and TIME Magazine carried similar stories. Of course, now Perry is calling ol’ Rudy a “culture warrior,” so I suppose that means it is newsworthy once again (as are those boots with the gold lamé).
I’ll be heading to Iowa for Thanksgiving, and visiting many of the towns Perry has been stumping in. I can’t wait to hear first-hand what Iowans opinions of Governor Perry are.
I love how our governor claims he’s so committed to our state, yet rather than staying here in Texas and doing his job, he’s out campaigning in Iowa. Granted he’s not the only elected official who does this - but it sure would be nice to see one who doesn’t.
