Well mate, “”Fantastic, we need some serious attention paid to this aspect of national defense, some real serious attention, and some concrete changes made.”” is a little more meaningful and important about NATIONAL defense than your post on “good hair”, “”And you’re expecting Governor GoodHair to make those changes? Don’t hold your breath, amigo.

There are things about Ebola and national defense and preparedness, and this “Texas Task Force on Infectious Disease Preparedness and Response” that need to be discussed by Americans nationally.

“Texas is uniquely equipped, like no other state, to handle the Ebola outbreak. The medical innovations that came from here would fill pages, including the world’s first heart transplant”

that is news to the world.

Thanks.

[GeronL]

That was probably one of the dumbest statements ever

[bestintxas]

Mine or his?

If mine, please let me know how.

[re_nortex]

My error and I'll own up to it. It was the nation's first heart transplant that was performed in Texas. America has (or at least had until Obamacare) the best healthcare system in the world. And Texas was, is and will be at the forefront when it comes to medical care and innovations.

[bestintxas]

I don’t disagree with your statements.

Am just trying to reduce the erroneous claims, as the South Africans may put issue to that one.

“The only ‘spread of Ebola’ in the U.S. was caused by a private hospital in a red state,” tweeted MSNBC host Joy Reid on Sunday.

That is an amazingly politicized twist on the facts. “The only spread of Ebola in the U.S., so far, was caused by a total lack of border protection and immigration control by a far left racist who doesn't care about white people. The detail that the bio-weapon Obama permitted into our country then attacked Texas rather than another state is minor compared with Obama's decision to let that liar into our country.

Why would I want to attach this lead weight to Ted Cruz.

I can think of three reasons, but I forgot what they were while I was posting this.

[Bettyprob]

I’m here in Texas. What has he done that is so decisive?

Sounds like the same hooey we were fed in 2012, about Obama and Hurricane Sandy.

"He was there, in the vicinity of the action...looking like a leader."

[BereanBrain]

what will you be voting for him?

President?

Ha!

Guardasil, Trans-Texas Corridor, and relatives hired by firms lobbying the state of Texas.

Tried for 8 years to get a spanish construction firm to build the TTC, which would have claimed imminent domain. Forced injections of STD vaccine for 12 year old schoolgirl.

What a loon

[GeronL]

his, sorry

[DoughtyOne]

I like that response. I’m nearing the years when I’m going to have to keep it on file just in case I forget the snappy come-back. Then I’ll forget where I filed it

Darn!

[South40]

Add to your list Perry endorsed Dewhurst meaning he opposed Ted Cruz, he endorsed RINO Mitch McConnell, the man who has publicly waged war on the TEA Party and he praised Hillary as a "Great Secretary of State (see my tagline).

Perry is not conservative and he will never be presidential material.

[txhurl]

That was a typo, believe me. Basil is no fan of Perry.

No disagreement with that, just don't get too hopeful about the level of serious, effective response from Perry and his 'task force'. The man's a politician, above all else.

If he and his 'task force' are serious about stopping this thing, the first thing they'll do is stop air travelers with Hot Spot passports from disembarking in Texas. Doubt that they will, though. Perry's in lockstep agreement with Obama's open door policy.

[ansel12]

So you don’t like Perry, you already told me that.

We only learned of the “Texas Task Force on Infectious Disease Preparedness and Response” minutes ago and you have already read it’s future and now want to share your knowledge of the task force, got it.
