What does Lynn Sherr of Parade Magazine know about Texas, or the Perrys?
This is my turf, my county and my state.
I think you have a problem.
This “controversy” is being engineered by the Dems. You are too slow to see what is happening. With the Dems you always have to keep your eye on the shell and hope there is really a pea under one of them. But the best tact is to simply not play their game.
They all Lie. All Commies Lie. Especially the Muzzie Commie Bastard who resides at 1600 Penn. Ave. (and his minions).
Re-read my post, please. It was (as far as I can tell) an interview with Anita, in style presented as a puff-piece.
Not the kind of "serious, hard-hitting, cultured, sophisticated" setting for a Karl Rove / David Axelrod setup job.
I'm glad it's your state. But I think the Presidency is too important to allow parochial loyalties of the kind you'd find in a football rivalry (Gig 'em Aggies! Go Cowboys, beat the Bears!) to supplant serious considerations of policy, or of character.
Perry is too soft on illegal immigration for me: I used to live in Phoenix and saw up close the problems with it. And I dislike the way he was "leaning" on the Gardasil issue; as well as allowing a foreign company to collect the tolls in the Trans-Texas corridor.
Aside from that, he cannot debate or present well outside of certain parts of the Deep South who share his values: and as a Texan, he will be liable to being savaged as "Bush II, only dumber" and "Racist Supreme".
Did you ever notice nobody ever even TRIED the race card against Palin (by contrast, and someone who is not running, so I'm not just playing favorites)?
His take on the economy sounds good, except that he is merely stealing jobs from high-tax states: that strategy by definition cannot work for the country as a whole.
Substantive discussion, not merely scandal mongering.
Cheers!
