Ron would get a very close second and they would list him at the bottom of the poll list of names.

We all saw it clearly. Many wish we didn't see it with our own eyes, before the manipulation.
Uh... I was being sarcastic about that, my friend.

If you apply just a bit of thought, you will see how the government has authority to control the environmental effect of goods and resources created and sold across the country. Since environmental pollutants are not really up to speed on state lines (oil spilled in Texas doesn't understand it can only kill Texans), it is amazing you can't see how this is subject to federal jurisdiction. The rest of the country doesn't want to be exposed to illness and death because your state sold itself to corporate polluters.

I am amazed how these defenders of the Constitution know absolutely nothing about it.

Strait forward and the ability to reach across the isle. Epa would be reset and we would have a firm foreign policy.

Better than Clinton who has a ware house of issues and none actions. Obama with his abuse of power! Perry would have a transparent Adminstration, not only its Perry. More importantly we the People demand it and it has been missing for a long time since 2008.

Having traveled thru Texas many times, I do not see a problem and from people I know Texas does monitor the Oil industry very well and both parties work together. But because there is industry there will always be negative side effect.

Because , we have a Petroleum industry we do enjoy lower prices than the world. I would however, would like to see $2.50 per gallon, would be nice. Plus it is a political tool we are using with the middle east, with all the turmoil these days.

We not the Arab Nations, like the problems we had with the infamous Oil Embargo from the Middle East.

It kills me folks with your point of view willing hug a tree, but complain about the price at the pump.

Speaking of both side of your mouth?
