I guess you all aren't big supporters of same-sex marriage, either (like Kinky supports)?

You Win! I confess, I'm not.

Cute indeed. Judging by your nic, I should be more cautious about disturbing an apprehensive arthropod, or someone whose spelling skills are a bit weak. Should I choose to employ a Texas dialect, I think I just might be justified since I am a fifth generation Texan. However, as a native Houstonian, telecom analyst and all around curmudgeon, I seldom speak that way unless I am indeed in that aforementioned old fashioned barber shop (not since I started shaving my head twenty years ago), bait camp (I have not drowned any minnows in a similar span) or hardware store (had a great discussion about shear strength of 1/4" carriage bolts the other day while buying materials for my new St Andrews cross). As a matter of fact, about the only time I actually revert to my native East Texas dialect is when I am in a discussion with some arrogant techno dweeb. I find it puts them at their ease to think they are talking to a technological illiterate, frequently they then proceed to display a deficient understanding of the subject on which they are pontificating.
So calm down, Kinky has little chance of occupying that lovely white mansion in Austin and if by some quirk of electoral fate he ends up smoking his stogies there, Texas will survive.

In Texas the only thing the Governor has power to do is appoint people to boards and veto bills [which Rick seldom did]

Wow, you Perry-haters just keep popping off one lie after the other, just made up out of thin air. The truth is that Perry has vetoed bills at a higher rate than almost every other Texas governor.

But the Governor of Texas has less real power than the Mayor of Houston

That line of rationalizing BS is getting really old. If the TX guv doesn't have any power, how did we get redistricting achieved after the Dems kept running away? Right now it appears that that redistricting will likely be the difference if the GOP maintains control of the House. Calling sessions, defining what can be addressed iun them, veto powers, and appointments make a heck of a difference.

Jeeze, everyone is talking like the governor of Texas really has some power and can raise taxes all by him/herself. The Legislature is where it's at and if a person thinks their rep is spineless, etc. - start going to the meetings - let yourself be a voice as to the kind of representation you want. What else can you expect when it's the same ol people showing up....

If a Gov Kinky starts chastising the house and senate - it will be wasted years. The Texas Governor has less influence over the budget process than the U.S. President or most other governors. In reality, the Legislative Budget Board is where the buck either starts or stops...not the Governor's office.

I rarely see anyone defend Perry on the issues.

Redistricting. He delivered on that one.

Lemme guess, Perry supporter? The fear mongering and name calling is a dead give away.

veto bills [which Rick seldom did]




tex just spouting off without knowledge which makes his case full of holes....

The Gov vetoed 82 bills in the 77th legislative session..... 48 in the 78th and 19 in the 79th......

Yep ol' tex knows little about what he spouts..... just my observation

Yeah, you spam that to every thread, 8 hours a day. Ever since you signed up. And have been trashing several other GOP candidates, ever since you signed up.

Interesting how so many of the anti-Perry spammers signed up within the last 6 months. I don't believe a word you say.

It seems a stretch but, yes, they could.

Nothing good gets accomplished whenever a serious job is approached as some kind of joke.

Rick Perry still has "good hair"

That is exactly what the family and I thought after watching the debate. We thought Kinky had the best answers but Perry definitely had the best hair. We couldn't agree if it was real or a rug.
