“No RINOs”

Perry must be scaring the Paulites and Axelrod Obots big time.
We are business owners as well. Own two in fact. However since one is in agriculture, it been difficult with the terrible drought. Last year however was awesome. Our best since we’ve been in business.
It could be worse, earlier today someone was linking to ThinkProgress, the "progressive" website who thinks the worst thing you could call someone is a Tea Partier.
But they said something bad about Inhofe, and Inhofe had the temerity to endorse Perry, so he had to be taken down by whatever means necessary. Some called him a RINO, some called him an establishment republican, some called him part of the Senate Old Guard.
It would be hilarious, except I think they actually believed it.

Yes, Alaska has more square miles...
but that doesn’t tell you much about governing
2010 Population of Alaska 710 THOUSAND
2010 Population of USA 308 MILLION
2010 Population of TEXAS 25 MILLION
Perry is awesome & conservative and a fox.I love the hate crimes act too.
What part of “net tax decrease” don’t you understand?
He did partially. Not completely.
It if ranks in the middle, clearly the other taxes don’t “more than make up” for the lack of income tax.
I happen to think income tax is a good way of collecting money, to a point, but it’s nice that each state can decide how to collect the money they need to run their state.
Apparently, the people of Texas seem to be happy enough, as the state has one of the fastest-growing populations.
Texas government costs somewhere around 1/4th of Alaska’s on a per-capita basis, so clearly the total tax burden of the state isn’t too bad.
Of course, I can’t figure out what this has to do with having the ability to be a conservative President; it’s not like business is afraid Perry is going to pass new federal taxes on business.
This drought is rough on all the Ag businesses.
Best regards.
Texas seems a very reasonable place tax-wise. High property tax is a function of local government, which is out of the governor’s range.
No, this has little to do with being a conservative President. It does show an effective Governor, however.
“What part of “net tax decrease” don’t you understand?”
The part about businesses get screwed over, big time. But let’s not discuss it...ok?
WTF is PerryCare?
Are you a Texan?
The only non-RINO running for the Republican nomination is Perry. Bachmann worked for the IRS and voted for Obama’s Patriot Act renewal. Romney supports nationalized healthcare.
If you oppose Perry, you may be a DU troll.
If Bushiness is getting screwed so hard, why are they moving here in droves from other states?
But wait I though he practiced cronyism.
And didn’t the tax decrease benefit the property owners?
I guess you don’t want to talk about it because it really doesn’t make Rick Perry look all that bad. I mean it’s not like he confiscated more of the oil companies’ profits or anything.....
Businesses
Actually, you could compare the states. It’s hard to find the budget numbers for Alaska, because they get so much of their money from oil companies and give money to citizens and that sometimes counts as government expenditures and some people don’t.
One source says in 2007 the budget was 5.5 billion. That’s about $8000 per person. Texas is a bi-annual budget, but cutting it in half, in the 2008 budget worked out to a about $3,300 per person, less than half.
The thrust of this article would suggest they could be compared — neither has an income tax, and Alaska is largely funded by taxes on business, like this article tries to claim Perry did one time in 2006. Palin passed a bill which raised taxes on oil companies, don’t know if it was the “biggest tax increase” ever.
I think if we start comparing ever specific act of every candidate, we won’t find any that come away clean. I think it’s a silly way to judge candidates;
Actually, the largest tax hike in modern texas history was in 1987, but don’t let that stop you.
