All of us don’t agree with bobl and all I have to say to any Okie, Don’t Mess With Texas.

The reality in Texas is that the governor has very little control over the Legislature, leadership or Bills. It was set up that way.

Having lived through a number of Texas dem and GOP Governors, show me one other that has proven more “net” Conservative than Gov. Goodhair. One things for damn sure, Perry is night and day more Conservative than nobama.

Whether or not he’s Prez material needs to be prove Yay or Nay.

As I told somebody else that was unfamiliar with Texas history, this is a trick question. Since the 1870s, there have only been three Republican Governor's - Bill Clements, George W. Bush, and Rick Perry. Romney could be made to look conservative compared to Clements and Bush. Clements and Bush were both soft on Mexican border issues as was Perry early on. Clements was a scumbag anyways, as I'm sure many SMU football fans will agree, assuming any are left. Bush helped push No Child Left Behind, the Patriot Act, the TSA, and gave us Obama so he's pretty despicable.

Perry is consistent though - you look at what he was saying in 2001, he's just changed the wording a bit and toned things down.

Then explain why he's used his veto power more than any other governor except one?
