Gov. Rick Perry has unveiled a new television ad entitled "Border." Click here to view the governor's ad.
We post the script and U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison's campaign response below:
Script:
“I’m Arvin West, Sheriff of Hudspeth County.”
“In the last two-and-a-half years, Governor Perry has helped secure this Texas border.”
“There is not a governor in the United States that has done the efforts that Governor Perry has done to ensure that this border is secure and the citizens of the state of Texas are secure.”
“Folks from Washington, when they come to the border, they want to take pictures. It’s a photo opportunity for them.”
“When Governor Perry steps on this border, he’s here to take care of business.”
“Governor Perry is the only one that has stepped up to help us do our job.”
Kay Hutchison campaign response:
“Every election-year, Rick Perry heads south for the border but he never actually leads and his ad fails to name one thing he has done to secure the border,” said Joe Pounder, Texans for Kay spokesman. “The ad’s hypocrisy is only made more apparent as it attacks politicians taking photo-ops on the border while featuring footage of Rick Perry getting his photo taken on the border.”
