No, you are about to be had by someone whose success is attributable only to his looks and Texas swagger. Perry has the IQ of a fruit fly and you'll see that again tomorrow.

If you really look close at Perry's background, you'll find he is not a conservative at all. He is a democrat with a southern accent and good looks.

I hardly attribute the success of Texas to Perry. Texas was a great state long before he had anything to do with it. Hell, Texas thrived under Ma Richards.

Ma Richards' answer to budget shortfalls was to bring in the lottery, taking money from the dumb to fill Texas coffers. Perry's Texas actually created jobs. Lots of jobs -- some taken from less business-friendly states, some home-grown. This he did during the worst recession since the Depression.

Perry can't help his good looks (you seem a bit jealous or something as you mentioned it twice in 7 sentences), and as far as his conservative values, he has always been a conservative, whether a D or an R.

“Hell, Texas thrived under Ma Richards.”

Ma Richards spent all of her time doing interviews and photo shoots. She simply expended all of her time being the “Queen of Texas”.

She was not even an average governor.

Be worried. Very worried. Perry’s story is not even out, junior, and it takes some conservative gut, clout, and determination to both sustain and prove conservative principles in a state that has all the same factors and very same composition to make it another California, but it is not. Perry’s TEN YEARS is NOT the rolled dough you wish for it to be. You can not find ground under your feet to pull off ROMNEY’s “FOUR ACES” argument against this governor. It will be Perry’s to lose, so brace yourself. He has predictably, historically and habitually is known for coming from behind more than this. It only begins tomorrow night. See ya’ there, kid.

Hell, Texas thrived under Ma Richards.

I worked for the State of Texas' mental health services under Ann Richards. She was a trainwreck.

She gutted MHMR in TX. Patients were dumped into the streets, facilities closed. Two of her "friends" she put in charge..oh, one charged a jaguar on his state credit card, and another one charged 35,000 dollar emerald cufflinks.

She was a grifter, and I don't give a da-- what any cutesy one woman plays, or folksy cr** gets floated about her.

She brought in unwanted, and unneeded regulatory agencies, was anti second amendment..

I doubt you were living in TX under Ann Richard's rein of incompetency. I can thank her for this. She was the last Democrat I ever voted for..
