Who was the pitcher and who the catcher?
BTW -- did anybody see today's report that Perry has a smaller lead over Obama in Texas now than the margin by which McCain won this state?
It's twoo -- if only the people of this country knew what we in Texas have had to endure! Hope there's time for them to find out...

Yssup, enlighten us. What exactly have YOU had to "ENDURE" here in Texas.
Are you unemployed? Have your benefits been cut off? Has your child's school shut down? Has your power been cut off?
Texas has a lower unemployment rate than the national average. People are moving TO Texas at record levels. Austin is growing faster than our infrastructure can keep up with. Guess all those people tripping over themselves to move here just don't know what they'll have to "endure" under Perry, LOL.

so you like the kool aid DT? of the million jobs created 550k are at or below minimum wage and thats below the poverty level so really arent much to sing laurels about. Another 150k jobs he counts are state government employees he added, that are now finding themselves getting laid off because he cant manage his fucking budget unless he accepts stimulus money he likes to claim he didnt take.
seriously, step away from the koolaid. The only possible good about electing Perry as President is that he'll stop fucking up Texas at the local level and can only fuck the rest of the USA for 4-8 years.

As I've said before, if you're unemployed, a low paying job is better than no job.
So address the issues. I've said before I'm not the biggest fan of Perry becoming our next President but I will take him over Obama if there are no other choices.
Look at the lies Obama has been spreading just over the last couple of weeks. Making people believe that the rich don't pay their fair share of taxes. Which is an utter LIE.

Yet you want to accuse ME of drinking the Kool Aid???!!!!
The Associate Press drinking the Kool Aid too?
Prove me wrong and then we can talk about who's drinking what!

That reporter for the AP is a right ring shill. Before you blindly believe him, read some of his other articles. And go that other post you started if you wanna be proved wrong.. I just did that.

Likewise, you and I both know that comparing the Capital Gains tax to individual income taxes, which is basically what Obama did in his speech, is ridiculous and is simply intended to create outrage without explaining the true facts.

CBO posted data not facts, they are different things. But how about this ... we pay 6.2% of our payroll taxes up until 106,000. Making 1 million you stop paying sometime in february. Some CEO's stop paying before their new years hangover fades.
But I agree that
"Citizens will either have to pay more for their government, accept less in government services and benefits, or both."
