Toll Roads? Is that the best you can be angry about?
As a Dallas-area resident, I can promise you I was very much against them when I first moved here, but let me ask you a question:
What could be more capitalistic than letting the people who actually use the roads being the ones who pay for them?
Are you some kind of socialist who likes to see your tax money fund some road you will likely never drive in another part of the state?
As for me, I will gladly pay my tolls so my roads get built much quicker. Other states figured this out long ago.
That's a ridiculous criticism! That's NOT what he's saying. And I suspect you know what he 's really saying and exactly what he intends to do.
Which border did you go to? Was it a checkpoint or in the middle of nowhere? What did you see there? Was it even in Texas? Did you spot illegal activity? Did you report it?
Just saying you have been to the border doesnt make Perry soft on the border. It is not the job of a state governor to shut down the border. It is the job of the Federal Government. But in your necessity to take shots at Perry, you claim it to be his fault.
After that, you seem to have gotten off message.
Will I vote for him over O-bozo? Certainly, without hesitation.
Will I vote for him over the current slate of GoP-r’s, I've not decided on my candidate.
Stop playing political games with all this blame Warshington poppy-cock.
And yes on the border. I've been from McCallen to Jaurez and all points between. Yes, I've seen illegal activity. In fact, I've seen’em swimming across in broad damn daylight as I took pictures from the international bridge.
I watched them walk up behind a broken down automobile and begin pushing it across the bridge until they crossed over into America, all the while pretending to be occupants of the car. On and on and on.
I respectfully disagree with your opinion. However, I know that Rick Perry is no more perfect than any of the other candidates. My opinion is that he’s the best choice of those contending to be our next president.
You’re an idiot.
You’re an idiot.
LOL!
Mine did too SS, I never learned those ugly ways. But I’m not a hateful person, thank goodness.
Well said!
Sad if true, I feel sorry for his wife.
What the hell does that even mean? You dont even know what you want him to do, but you are mad at him for not doing it.
And what did you do when you saw this happen? Did you stop it it or report it, or are you just part of the problem?
But the point is, it is Washington’s fault. You just dont like Perry.
[Well said!]
Thank you pgkdan, I appreciate that!
“All a President can do is STAND FOR SOMETHING and use the bully pulpit to encourage the American people to force Congress to do what they want them to do. So shut up and grow up!”
Wow, Presidents can only stand for something? I guess Presidents have no power at all. Go figure. We were wanting to get the right candidate in because of the power the President has, yet, we only needed to ask you to find out the President has no power at all.
Richardo “La Raza” Perry is a nitwit and would be every bit as bad as Obama. Perry is a Democrat disguised as a RINO. He was a Democrat, campaigned for Al Gore, and only turned coat once he needed to be a Republican to win. Proof that Republicans vote straight ticket every bit as much as Democrats. I want a conservative to win, not necessarily a Republican!
“He’s saying these nutty things he can’t do, to get attention back on him. That’s a poor way to do it.”
And they call Ron Paul nutty.
VERY NICE!!!
