Given the state of the Republican presidential-nominating contest, in which the party faithful’s interest in those on the field is exceeded vastly by their yearning for those hovering on the sidelines, last Tuesday was a fine day—or should I say, an even finer day than usual—to be in New York City. For if you happened to be here (as I was), you could have witnessed (as I did) appearances by two of the most enticing prospective GOP entrants: Jon Huntsman and Rick Perry. The events were different in ways too numerous to list, but what they had in common is that both were brimming with political flyspeckers, all laboring to discern the intentions of the honored out-of-towners.
Why are you so enthusiastic about a clown in a cowboy hat? This guy was backing Al Gore in 1988 and giving winks and nods to secessionists in 2009. He's just another dance-for-the-people and powers-that-be politician.

Texas is the best state for jobs creation and business, thanks governor Perry

That's a cool poster of Perry- I didn't know he was a member of the "Village People"!
Texas ranks near the bottom in every "quality of life" catagory: health, education, poverty, the environment, public spending per citizen, number of high school graduates, poverty and hunger among children. You name it.
I don't care how many temporary minimum wage jobs the current boom is creating. It's not sustainable. All those folks moving there for jobs are used to living in a civilized society. As soon as it's economically feasable, they'll move out again. Boom-bust, boom-bust. Texas' combination of rapid growth and lackadasical government are going to lead to HUGE problems in the next ten years. At the rate you're going, you are going to wind up a third-world state- skyscrapers and mud huts.
You could use a few more "libruls" to help you get a handle on this stuff, rather than chase them all away!
That's a pretty lousy record for Perry to run on- "Vote for me and I'll do for the US what I did to Texas". Ummmm, no thanks!

Don't worry this guy won't have a chance to vote for him WC. Just a guy in love with Texas from France (e.g. not a US citizen).
If you really look at Perry, it's like Bush Jr. and Ronald
Reagan's face morphed into one. Even down to the hair.
