Well look, Texas has all the ingredients to be California, but is not. Rick has a ten year run at sustaining the differences proving conservative principles, and left no democrat standing in office at the state level, or in committee appointments. Texas Monthly is no friend to Perry, but even they credit him as wielding power like no one since LBJ himself. The personalities are pecking material but are small, cheap, exaggerated and will hold no weight whatsoever in this titan like contest. Let’s watch awhile.
Rita, I’ve watched him since he was Ag Commissioner in the ‘90s. He’s one of the most UN-impressive figures I’ve ever seen and far too typical of the slick Southern Democrats that infested our country for far too long. Hogging the Governor’s office well beyond a reasonable period of time is also similarly unimpressive (which helps to keep actual Conservatives from moving up the ladder). I’ve found him on his best day to be mediocre and seriously lacking, and on his worst... viscerally offensive. As was stated, if a “Republican” feels the need to shamelessly pander to a racial supremacist organization, he or she will NEVER earn my support.
We’ve got the opportunity to vote for someone who isn’t a career politician or obsessed for decades with avenging daddy’s loss, someone who has actually created jobs and is successful in the private sector and who is of above-average intelligence with the know-how to get down to tackling the issues.
