How strange. Tonight on the TV news he said just the opposite - when someone asked him if he was committed to his 4-year term. He said "of course."
It's a stupid question - what else would he say? *No, I'll get bored with this soon and decide to retire.*
What? You don't think we should elect any more governors of our state?
I assume you are one of the Texas secessionists who wants us to go back to being a republic, so we can have a president, instead? Or "alcalde grande" or "el Jefe"? No comprende.
Fair enough...I'm sorry if I offended you. My statement wasn't at all meant as a derogatory comment on the state of Texas. In fact, my wife and I are planning to move down there, so I wouldn't want to be insulting it. :)
"We have a very diverse state, very diverse people," he said. "We need less partisanship. We need less cynicism. We need more bridge building."
BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Man, you guys (RINOs/Repubs) built bridges okay, bridges that led you right into the LOSERS pasture. Don't want no more bridges Guv'na, thank you very much. I want some d****d leadership. You still have some sort of deal with this "TransTexas" road scheme of yours, I guess to import more poor, underclassed, unskilled laborers. We already have an overload of those too.
It sure would be nice to hear him (or anyone) say:
"We are not only going to secure Texas' borders from illegal immigrants, but we are going to pass laws that do not allow illegals to work or live in Texas. We are not going to provide financial support for people who are here illegally either. And English is our language! What happens in our state is our responsibility."
Heaven forbid Perry going on to anything else. I had to laugh, though, when someone called him a metrosexual. He's not that. Have you ever heard him speak? He effects a Texas good ole boy persona; maybe he is one. Either way, he doesn't seem to stand for principles, just getting ahead in his career.
LOL...yes, you should be led by a tribal council.
*ducks to miss a punch from CindyDawg*
Nah, I meant no more 'bridge building Texas governors' for President...
LOL. Welcome to Texas.
Adios Mofo's!
Please... no more "bridge building" RINO's...
Ditto. There is only so much of "the good Lords" Texas Rino pablum we can take in a lifetime.
Bridge Builing Rinos should fight the Do-Goodery's for world supremacy.
HMM??? Maybe that should be part of our platform in 08'?
Seriously! I know too many people, even here in the Communist State of NJ, that are sick and tired of it!
That might make a good sign. NO MORE PC People probably would take that to mean popcorn!
I always thought if I were elected Governor, Senator, Congressman, or President, my acceptance speech would go something like:
"My fellow Americans...
I will not sit here and talk about happy, flowery stuff like "unity" and building bridges, because when people talk about that stuff, it always means one thing: Republicans bending over for Democrats, and I won't do that. Will I work with Democrats? Sure. In the sense that I will tell them that I expect their support, and why. That's it."
He can jump in the lake as far as I am concerned. Either that or he can pay my ridiculous utility bill. This is tantamount of Enron all over again. Something is brewing on this and the Public Utility Commission is starting to make some noise about this situation. He can forget about it.
Tribal councils, huh? We don't really have enough Indians to run things. Too many chiefs, not enough Indians.
*Way down yonder on the Indian Nation, ride my pony on the reservation, in the Oklahoma Hills where I was born ....*
Yuppers, you got a point there - we *will* have to annex Oklahoma, so we can have tribal councils to decide things, instead of a president or governor.
Otherwise, Congress will have to meet in the Alabama-Coushatta Casino!
