I wish and hope Perry is elected president and then tells the EPA they are no longer needed. Sending every one of them into the unemployment line would be a great payback.

The Left is signaling that they hope a President Perry will fix education and get the inner cities out from under the impossible mess they've created.

Will Rick Perry Unravel the Strange Consensus on Public Education?

Maybe the oil companies and refiners need to raise the price of their products going to the states that have congressmen and senators that support the EPA to offset the higher costs of compliance.

Unless you have driven around the area near the Houston ship channel, you cannot imagine the size and number of refineries in the area and just how much of our country’s gas and other products are produced here.

Just a small smidgen of the 25 mile ship channel and areas around it.

There is no hope for the inner cities as long as the schools are in control of the NEA teachers. The left in Texas has been bashing Perry for his record on education. For all I’m concerned, they can wish in one hand and s*** in the other and see which on fills up first.

My daughter and several of our close friends are teachers, and they are having a very hard time trying to get kids to understand that not everything is free. Those kids are so brainwashed by the time they hit middle school, they want every grade to be an A.

This post has been refuted twice on the thread now. Waiting for your defense of it?

There is hope -- and if Perry can get his hands on this -- and the Left appears open to making changes, there will be a sea change in education and for the future of this country.

And it isn't just the inner city schools -- now it's most everywhere.

A cry in the black education wilderness - LINKS to education, leftists and race.

People like Lomann aren't interested in fact, Mrs. Cinci ( :) ), they have their firmly fixed opinions and leftist anti-Perry propaganda to keep them warm and cozy.

When someone is driven by hatred, it is very difficult for reason to penetrate and even more difficult for truth to prevail.

He does like Big Fonts, doesn't he--compensating for something else, maybe? LOL!

Dogmatism is no replacement for truth.

“Texas consumes more fossil fuels and spews more pollution than any other state”

Maybe that’s because it has a large population and second largest physical size of all the states? I’m sure the fact that it’s freakin’ BIG might cause some need for fuel use? Try driving across Houston like I do pretty much every work day.My commute is over 30 miles each way. Lots of people out on those freeways, going to that thing called WORK that so many seem to no longer participate in or even remember. That tends to cause the use of fuels.

As far as the pollution goes, well, gee, since fuel for MOST of the US is refined here, it might just cause some of that! Since most of the other states don’t refine much if any crude into fuels, of COURSE TX has higher pollution. It’s doing the dirty job for all those other places. Do they think that gas in their tank just falls from the sky or something?

The author is chock-full-O-FAIL.

Of course parts of Texas and Louisiana are pretty rough and polluted due to oil refineries and the oil business in general. So who cares! Don’t live there if you can’t handle it. F the EPA! We should be thanking those parts of Texas and Louisiana that produce refined oil products such as gasoline and diesel for the rest of the nation. But the eco-saboteurs in the EPA want to wreck all that . What do they care, they get their fat Federale paycheck no matter what impact their decisions have. No matter how many people are put out of jobs, no matter how many businesses they shut down

On January 21st 2013 Rick Perry should nuke the EPA. Deny them funding, whatever it takes to put these eco-parasites out on the streets looking for new jobs

The EPA knows Perry wants to skin them.

This is probably why the Rove-Bush-Hutchison push to unseat Perry in the last gubernatorial election. — But that didn’t work.

Romney supporters are the go-along-to-get-along-we’ll-pass-it-down-to-the-consumer crowd.

Perry’s right to go after the regulations and the litigation because in the end, we all pay and this government business of driving businesses out of the country or killing them off totally, must stop.

Rick Perry gets in and in 2013 he starts doing to the EPA what he he did to Texas trial lawyers.....I’ll be very happy. Matter of fact trial lawyers will be contributing great sums this year and next to keep Rick Perry out of the White House.
