The claim...
In his speech at last weekends state Democratic convention, Bill White said: "They tell me that Rick Perry has served as governor longer than anybody except Sam Houston."

"No candidate for high office in Texas can afford to mangle the states sacred history." That pretty much nails it. And how hard is to make sure your facts are in order when you're re-reading and editing the speech?

This is only the tip of the iceberg that is this disaster of a candidate.

Pointless hit job on a guy who’s probably more conservative than Perry... and that’s saying something.
I personally couldn’t care less if he mangles our history. I don’t even know about Sam Houston and I was born here.
I want a governor who listens to the people and fixes the problems, and NOT only when he’s up for reelection.

Perry has done some things to annoy the hell out of me, but White is not more conservative than Perry. If you buy that, then I have some beach property in Ozona to sell to you.

You are totally clueless or a corruptocrat troll. I lived in Houston, hun, and I can tell you that Bill "Sanctuary City" White is no conservative. All you had to do is watch his Hurricane Ike press conferences to see the people he likes to hang around with. Oh, I guess you did not see those because you do not live here so I guess you missed seeing Sheila Jackson-Lee standing right next to him at every single press conference. It was amazing if you watched those closely-when White spoke Sheila's lips would be moving slightly. I guess she is not a very good ventriloquist...

Bill White is a beeding heart lib. loser. A gun hater and if memory serves promoted H-town (Houston) as a sanctuary city for ILLEGALS.
Billy, you're going to get steam rolled by Texas A&M Aggie Former Student and current gov. Rick Perry.

I dont even know about Sam Houston and I was born here.That's a shame. He's definitely someone to study, regardless of whether one is Texan or not.

Exactly except the gun part... Bill “Fudd” White would be better depicted holding a dove or Bambi.

Based on your tagline alone, one wonders why you would even consider voting for a man who is a lap poodle for The One?

Pretty sure you can have your Texan status revoked for not knowing who Sam Houston was.

How many times has Perry marched in the Houston Gay Pride parade?
To: Sic Parvis Magna
You know he was Mayor (Sanctuary City) Houston for two terms.
There is this giant statue of Houston on his Horse in Hermann Park. Now it would seem he could have just walked over to the Statue and looked at the FULL BIO of Sam Houston.
This guy is a complete idiot. And I do mean idiot.

I never heard of Bill White until he became Mayor of Houston. After seeing him in action I became convinced that he was one of the dumbest people who ever held public office. Of course the mayor he replaced was the dumbest. I could never figure out how White became a multi-millionaire.
