DescriptionTexas Gov. Rick Perry is criticizing U.S. House Minority Leader John Boehner for seeking a possible compromise on tax cuts with President Barack Obama.

In a Thursday night interview with The Associated Press, Perry also embraced the two newly elected Republicans backed by the tea party movement in Delaware and New York — candidates that many establishment Republicans have shunned.

Perry has made Washington a whipping post in his campaign for an unprecedented third term, and he hasn't always limited his ire to Democrats. Perry told the AP he didn't agree with Boehner's comments last weekend that he could accept only a partial extension of Bush-era tax cuts. He suggested Boehner, who since backtracked, had prematurely raised a "white flag" on tax reductions.
