That's the letter that he co-signed with the Chairman of the Democratic Governors Association.
Gov. Rick Perry, saying he's "sick and tired" of the partisan gridlock in Washington, slammed the federal government on Tuesday for failing to agree on a rescue of the U.S. financial markets.
"Washington needs to get over the partisan bickering," Perry said. "They've got their work cut out, but one of them is to get over the initial behind their names and start being Americans first and quit being Democrats and Republicans."

So if it's really going to be between Rick Perry and Mitt Romney the Republicans might as well just run John McCain again, or throw all of their support behind Obama.

The point was he was tired of the partisan politics.
From the article:
"My concern is that Washington is so inept at addressing these issues that are important to Americans, whether it's securing our borders or whether it's securing our financial future," Perry said. "Washington has been absolutely abject failures at this."
Perry stopped short of endorsing any particular approach to the U.S. financial meltdown and warned against any measures that would allow shady business practices to continue.
"We're sick and tired of watching Washington bicker with each other while financial markets are roiled," he said. "The other side of that is we're certainly not interested in Washington bailing out a bunch of irresponsible mortgage brokers in an industry that has too often been run on greed."

The article you cite says Perry DIDN'T specifically endorse TARP.

TARP isn't the problem, the way it was carried out is.
Letting the firms pay bonuses out of TARP funds was a mistake. No Bonus for you!
Well Perry is a politician, after all.
Okay I will revise and extend my remarks.
That is almost as bad.
Just what we need another politician.
Immie
They are all politicians.

Well, duh!
Just like I said "just what we need". We need them about as much as we need life on Planet X.

Unlike the Failed Stimulus Tarp was essential. That is what staved of a Depression not the Damn Stimulus. What is so bad about supporting it. Over 70% of what was actually spent has already been paid back.
Treasury: TARP Money Returned to Taxpayers Exceeds $250 Billion - Real Time Economics - WSJ
The Treasury Department on Tuesday updated its projections for the cost of the 2008 Troubled Asset Relief Program, saying that for the first time the amount of funds that has been returned to taxpayers exceeds $250 billion.
TARP was created to be a $700 billion program, but much of the money wasnt used. The Dodd-Frank financial overhaul law essentially capped the amount of money that could be used at $475 billion. Nearly 70% ($477 billion) of the original $700 billion has been repaid, offset with profits, or canceled, Treasury said on Tuesday.
Treasury projected that more money would continue to come in through the program, and it reiterated an October estimate that the overall lifetime cost of the program would be roughly $50 billion.
Stop a Financial Meltdown and the total cost ends up being 50 Billion. Not to bad. To bad we had to go Blow fucking a few Trillion more after that on Failed Stimulus Spending Programs.

Plenty of people were fooled into supporting it. Course not so many were tricked into supporting the Porkulus bill.

The left wing's capacity to research opposition candidates is stunning. When you combine it with the overwhelming liberal media spin and nit-picking by George Soros tax exempt Media Matters it's a wonder any republican survives .
Looks like Perry was willing to reach across the aisle and call for an end to partisanship.
And announce his support for the recovery package, aka TARP.
That's not what is says at all...it says stop the partisanship and pass an economic recovery package...not Tarp specifically.

Since when does a free market capitalist support federal economic recovery packages?
We're supposed to be about getting government out of the way and letting the market correct itself.
Any package he would have supported would inevitably been some kind of major government expenditure.
You'd have been be ok with it as long as it wasn't TARP specifically?

Not to mention how he went after Washington for "partisanship" after TARP failed to pass the first time, thus showing that he did indeed support TARP and that he only turned against it after it became clear that it was politically unpopular during his re-election campaign for Governor.
