Obama and his Democrats may be bad news for the nation - we need to get someone else in. Sure, I'll buy it.

But where do we get these backwoods hilljack rubes from? These people have scary, medieval mindsets - they really remind me of the nutjobs in the Middle East. Is that what we really need? Can we not find some more intelligent people as viable alternatives to Obama?

Pulling a nice strawman argument in favor of Perry Bo Berry. But Perry Bo Berry Banana Fanna Fo Fairy did not do anything good for Texas or America. And putting anything into God's hands isn't going to help with anything.

Obama has been talking about creating jobs yet laughing when questioned about the "shovel ready" jobs the Dems were so certain the trillion dollar stimulus would create and admitting there weren't really that many shovel ready jobs. But hey, thanks for the $trillion$!!

Obama is better than Perry Bo Berry because he isn't a semi-schizophrenic religious oaf. If God is so powerful why hasn't he saved Texas and the rest of the states from the economic toilet that it is in?

The Democrats need another candidate for president badly. Hopefully someone steps up soon. Ralph Nader called George Bush something like a large corporation masquerading as a human being and the exact same thing could be said about Obama. Total corporate capture of government is here and Rick Perry would do little to put a stop to it.

What economic toilet? 4 Texas cities (San Antonio, Dallas, Austin, & Houston) are doing economically well in the midst of the country recovering from the recession. Your using baseless arguments to try to prove a point you don't have. But I'm not tripping. I live in Texas and ever since I moved here, everyone from across the country is trying to live here for the jobs and low cost of living. People are moving from other countries just to be here. I know the deal. Your just putting your head in the sand to deny the facts.

God is not a fantasy. He's real and he blesses those who worship him. That's why our state is doing the best right now. It's funny how when this country was mostly religious, that's when America had the most jobs and economy boosted it to world power status. Now that America is getting anti-religious and ultra liberal, it has lost world power status and China (which started letting Christian missionaries again and now has 80+ million Christians) is now the world power. You think God doesn't exist and isn't watching the nations? Please.

You are astroturfing because a lot of people are not in good situations in Texas.

Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio are okay cities but it's not because religion made them good nor because Rick Perry did anything special.

And Austin is a dump.

Wow. You're one of those nutty Jerry Falwell types who thinks that earthquakes and hurricanes are punishments from God, huh?

Of course, your state just happens to be the Chosen Land. How convenient.

Are those Christian missionaries wearing Walmart T-shirts? China's new found money and power has nothing to do with right wing love of corporations and monopolies...right?

BTW...When was the country "mostly religious"?

Oh yeah..the next time that you are conversing with God, can you ask him why he gave the Muslims most of the oil???

For people that all hate him you elected him three times to be governor. You must have not gotten around much if "everyone" you met, hates him.
