Rick Perry's press release archives to be taken offline

Look for Rick Perry's press release archive to be taken offline in the near future because it is full of conflicting information. For instance at his debate he claimed he was vocally opposed to Bush's No Child Left Behind, but according to a press release in his online archive: (thanks to Opposing Views)
“Texas was a model for President Bush’s No Child Left Behind legislation, and we continue to lead the nation in innovative solutions to improve our schools,” Perry said. “The U.S. Department of Education’s stamp of approval means we can move forward with our plan to improve early childhood education, dropout prevention, teaching excellence, science education and our schools’ use of technology.”
Oops. Once again Perry's record doesn't match his rhetoric, but if he is allowed to continue to say things that just aren't true, his tea party members will continue to believe him and he will clinch the Tea Party nomination.

The education system here in Texas is legendary, a perfect model of what not to do for education. This can be said about every reform Rick Perry has ushered into the state, insurance, electricity, tort reform, college tuition, and many many more. And his archive press releases are treasure trove of information.

Look for it to go away soon.
