So you like the tax and spend Repubs in Texas? You think a big new (income) tax is just the ticket? I do not understand how people can support big/new taxes, spend/spend/spend and call themselves conservative.
Rat Bell got 29%, fiscally conservative Grand Ma got 19 and Kinky got 12. The fact that two independants can get almost 1/3 of the vote should tell you that folks in Texas are not happy. What happens two years from now then those unhappy voters go to the polls. This time they took thier unhappiness out on Perry, next time it might be GOP reps and senators that take the hit.
NO! I feel your pain when it comes to spending both on a national and state level. Too much "Play along to get along" with the dems.
But I believe there is too much of a knee jerk reaction to the outside funding of the proposed toll road. Do you think I would care if I'm cruising on a toll road at 80mph paid for by Communist China instead of 30mph on I35 when so much of what I buy is made in China anyway?
