If you keep your LBJ’s at bay we will keep our Gore’s at bay.

The Republican governors need to get together and stop the TSA and HS first and foremost. If all republican states sided with Texas on the groping bill, Washington would cave in a heartbeat. I’m done with the hijack, but Texas looks weak after pulling that bill.

Other than out-muscling the Bushes in the Tex-Mex influence peddling market, exactly what accomplishments does he have to his credit? I mean is there anything that the man has done to warrant consideration for the nation’s highest office (other than good hair)?

No Perry. No way. He’s a progressive sleeper.

What makes you say that Perry is not a conservative?

He's pretty conservative.

As long as he's campaigning.

The only thing(s) he MUST do is take care of our state. We need a budget finalized and a few more bills signed. He did a good thing today signing the voter ID bill into law. More work to do. But running for president is NOT one of them.

He's a donkey jackass in elephant's clothing.

The way it's going around here with a seemingly never-ending stream of RINO flavors of the week, maybe I should just keep this image on my clip board. Pretty soon there won't be much reason to post much of anything else.

That would be big, but the Democrats in the Texas House and Senate are blocking that. I agree with you on that, but the Governor does not have that kind of power in the Texas system.

Normal excuse given to cover up Perry's Open-Border stance.

All one has to do to prove this is look at the plethora of threads posted about Perry since Sarah announced her movie and her bus tour to find the necessary evidence of Perry's ugly, non-conservative position on border issues.

Do us a favor and quit pimping damaged goods.

“He can rear up and call a special session...get in front of the camaras and speak...put pressure on the two Dems blocking the bill. He can corner Sen. Williams and Dewhurst and play hardball....”

Magna Carta, that would be great but Texas has a weak executive branch by design. It was made this way after the Civil War to cut the legs out from under the Radical Republicans of the 1860s and 1870s who tried to change everything by fiat. The point is that the Governor can only persuade in Texas, not order.
