Please notice the Rick Perry volunteer at the CA Republican convention. I confronted some of them, and asked, “I just have one question for you Rick
Perry people: do you realize that Rick Perry has dressed you up as Aggies?” Of course, since they are all from California, they were completely
innocent of the fact that they are wearing the colors of Texas A&M!
Later, I met a gentleman who was some kind of volunteer coordinator for Perry. He admitted that yes indeed, the choice of colors was deliberate.
I asked if he were intentionally dissing the Longhorns. He added, “the Longhorns will not wear these shirts: we have to get them orange shirts.
We have photos of Rick Perry volunteers in IO, wearing orange Longhorn shirts. The Baylor students have to have green shirts; the Aggies have to have
maroon. Texans take their school colors very seriously.” That is what I call a real political chameleon!
