You seem to suggest-- and I question-- that if we elect (not re-elect-- Perry was given the job) Perry then he will take on the insurance issue? No, Perry was whistling past the graveyard on this issue during his watch, and he absolutely blew it. He should have exerted some leadership and called a special legislative session this summer.
As far as Mexico's non compliance with the water treaty, you men are right-- Perry can't do much about it. But much of politics is symbolism. Perry is the governor of all of Texas; he could spend a little time down here pretending he gives a damn.
As to race, there are times when race should be considered. My wife was born in Mexico. Half my family is Hispanic. We're talking pride. That's me personally. On the macro, what makes Texas Texas is the commingling of our cultures. Must the anglo always be our leader at the levels that count?
Pride is called for at least once every couple of hundred years. Perry is an empty suit. It is time. Tony Sanchez is a billionaire. There is a corporate cat in that. He's my guy.
Finally, I'm a Dem op? No, no, not at all.
