This state is doing great, and those who want another Jesse Ventura, or Ross Perot running the state want to just spread misery to everyone.
Sorry, but this state is not doing "great". We are being overrun with illegals. They are like locusts. The bottom half of Texas is almost unimhabitable for an English speaking American. It is so bad hear in Houston that my sister's family, my dad and my family are all leaving within the year. Not leaving Texas, just moving more North. And it is still bad even up in the panhandle, but not quite as bad as the bottom half of Texas. We just need some relief from the surge of illegals. Crime is unreal. Between the MS13 and the Katrina folks you one would be nuts to leave his or her house without packing a sidearm.
Yes, its that bad. Perry is doing NOTHING about it. Folks are completley fed up. Even to the extent they will vote for somebody like Kinky who never had a whisper of a chance in the past.
