JOBS will be THE issue for 2012 and Perry has more than a leg up on obama on that front.

Yeah, look at this;

If Perry gets in, what a great contrast he will have to tout - HIS success compared to obama's FAILURES.

Those of us who've lived in Texas during Perry's reign know that he's an empty suit.

So Perry has made Texas a state with lots of new jobs because it has a court system weighted in favor of corporations against its citizens.

How so?

And really, you would never vote for him anyway, so it really doesn't matter about "those" who lived in Texas.

I've already voted for him more than anyone outside of Texas, including you. One of the worst votes I've ever cast. Now that I know him better, it won't happen again.

Which bill was that? I was aware of his veto of internet sales tax bill but not any recent bill that dealt with tax relief for seniors.

he right always tells us government DOES NOT create jobs! So just WHAT are you talking about?

And, IF Perry's such a genius:

How many jobs is HE personally responsible for creating and how many are thete because Texas is an energy producing?

What percentage of the jobs HE allegedly created are private sector jobs?

What percentage of the jobs HE allegedly created pay substantially above minimum wage?

Deteriorated condition of the state? Texas has created over 1 million jobs in the last 10 years and 40% of all jobs created in the US were in Texas.

Come again?

See, the problem is, you're a lefty, so of course you won't like his policies.
