The truth can be very painful to swallow. In fact liberal moonbats have developed the racist, someone else did it type strategies to avoid it for years. Ignorant bliss...

So on one hand you are complaining about the taxes, yet you aren't going to leave until your son receives the education those very taxes help pay for, interesting....

It's one thing to campaign for your state, it's another entirely different issue to tour other states as a governor and cast insults. I don't think Rick Perry is the best person to send to New England.

Why would workers move to Texas if working there was so terrible?

Perry is tacky and aggressive. Sometimes it is refreshing, sometimes it is embarrassing.

I'd rather he promote Texas then denigrate another state. That should be enough.

How did he get elected? I think the answer is that the Democrats can't do much of anything. Perry is not really well liked or popular. But since most elections today are about the "least bad" candidate, Perry wins easily.

People move to Texas for work because they have jobs. It is the American way, follow the work.

Typical liberal. Thinks people are too retarded to recognize an unsafe situation without some benevolent moron from OSHA to guide them.

Liberals have a very low opinion of human beings. It's sad really.

Hmm, I can see you don't have a clue about handling the money in your family or you'd know full well our local property taxes pay for our kids education and have nothing to do with the millions of little "fees" state bureacrats level on business owners in NY...and that's why Gov. Perry's reaching out to business owners in this state is falling on sympathetic ears.

I am not a fan of Perry but I support his effort and as the old saying goes you made the bed ....... and NY has made their bed. I do not know why a gun manufactor would want to be in NY? I hope to read soon that they are relocating to Texas.
