Kinky Friedman accuses Rick Perry of being a libertarian opportunist

Forget the GOP Primary: The General Election has already begun

Likely Democrat nominee for Texas Governor Kinky Friedman took some potshots at Republican incumbent Rick Perry yesterday. Friedman sent Perry a gag gift of bicycle training wheels, in reference to Perry's recent mountain bike accident. Perry broke his collar bone.

But Friedman also attacked Perry for being a johnny-come-lately to libertarian ideals.

From DFW News:

"Rick Perry is a guy who is great at jumping in front of parades. You know we've never heard a whimper from him about states rights, or about libertarianism or anything... He jumped in front of the tea bag parade. He's better friends with the German government, with the European government, with the Mexican government, than he is with the people of Texas. He likes being governor, and that's the end of the story," he said of the governor in a recent appearance on the Alex Jones Show.

Friedman is a "Jesse Ventura-style" Independent who recently switched to Democrat. Polls showed he would have a better chance of winning as a major party candidate.
