As Perry focused on his newest endorsements Thursday, Hutchison’s campaign criticized the governor for taking photos in Austin with Texas Rangers after announcing last month that he was sending many of them to high-crime areas along the border.
"If the Texas Rangers are standing with Rick Perry in Austin [Thursday], then who did he deploy to the border last month? To Rick Perry, border security is nothing more than a 'photo opportunity,’ " said Joe Pounder, deputy communications director for Hutchison.
Perry’s campaign said the governor did not summon the officers to Austin for a photo opportunity.
"It’s unfortunate the senator and her campaign would criticize the Texas Rangers who were in town for annual training," said Mark Miner, a Perry campaign spokesman.

More on Kay's attack on Rick and the Texas Rangers...
When Rick sent Texas Rangers to secure the border, Kay's team jumped the gun and criticized the move... a big goof... now it appears they jumped the gun on criticizing Rick for having a photo op with the Texas Rangers (link). Excerpt follows...
There will come a time when these juvenile and sloppy attacks from Kay's team undermine their credibility on bigger issues... from the media peeps I talk to that is already happening... attacking for the sake of attacking is just petty. Kay's campaign's relentless bashing on stupid things also undermines Kay's ability to get press peeps to stick up for her against big mean Rick the bully... she is not little Miss Innocent...
If you want to see the video Kay's peeps put out, here it is again... strange attack to make... this video is not bad for Rick in any way...

Hey now, campaign characters. Be nice. I know a lot of you on both sides, so I don't want any overly foul language, personal attacks on anyone other than the candidates themselves, or other party fouls. I will moderate the heck out of you if you start breaking the bounds of civility.
