texting while driving is one of the dumbest things anyone can do, but let's get away from the nanny state mentality. I just love you libs who seem to think the government should control everything, at the same time pot should be up to the individual, the government should stay out of the abortion issues and they should have no say so in same sex marriage: Aren't you saying pass laws that we want only?

I too support the bill...many do or it would not have passed. If a woman chooses to end her pregancy she should be aware of exactly what she is doing, she should realize this isnt' just a blob of nothing. This doesn't mean I totally am pro life, but I do think a women needs to realize what she is doing.

It has to do with statements others have made about Perry vetoing the texting law last week. Oh, I guess you figured it out; whomever brought it up should be the one we are all questioning.

But if I try to do that, do you really think the police will NOT pull me over & issue me the ticket?
"Reckless driving" is a vague statement, it is up to the person (cop) who see something being done and making a snap judgement...

Now there is NO "grey" area...

SC will overturn it, so the whole idea is pointless, it just shows how far Perry is willing to go, that is unless it has to do with texting and driving.

Yes. Ivy league'ers cheer. 'Push 'em back....' (Precursor to throw one back)

Army guys yell. 'Hit 'em again...' (Precursor to bunker busters)

The probem is Perry is full of it, in one case he says it is too much government interference then turns around and makes it mandatory for women having an abortion see and hear sonagram results. Perry Panders, ALOT. Not to worry he will our problem here in Texas again soon, his run will come to an end in the near future.
