Business relationships from W’s dad’s era, yes.

But at least Faud did not put W through college, he did Obozo.

So Dubya isn’t as big a whore for the Saudis as the current President? Ok! Thanks for clearing that up.

I prefer that Governor Rick stay in Texas as governor.

BUT, I hate the slander crap that is floating around on FR now. I know more about Rick than you think. I grew up 14 miles from his home and know both of his parents and his wife and her parents. Rick's ancestors moved to Haskell county about 3 years before my family did (1889). Yes, I know some bad things about Rick and I know some bone head calls that he has made, but I do not like for him to be slammed for what he is not.

Politics in Texas has always been a tough guys game. I remember the slimeball Landslide Lyndon Johnson. Talk about a crooked POL.

What I am interested in for Pres. this time is someone who will actually pull the trigger and DownSize DC! That is the only path out of this mess. It is the only way to remove the entrenched Leftists who are ruining the nation. Close entire departments and move any worthwhile functions back to the states. Stop the insanity propagated from the top.

Would Rick do it? I don't know, but he might.

Mitt won't.

Newt won't.

Cain might.

You tell me, what do you want in a Pres?

Wow. So this is why my grandson’s father is getting deployed to Kuwait. He’s been in reserves but was picked to go active for a year and I thought it was weird us sending troops to Kuwait, and especially after we heard they’re withdrawing troops from the mideast. I hope Iran/Iraqi’s don’t pull any shenanigans because it will hit too close to home for my grandbaby to lose his daddy. I really pray for our troops out there in that hellhole part of the world.
