Maybe ppl will start realizing that Rick Perry is a great leader and not the bubbling idiot that the media desperately painted him as being during the primaries.

You did watch the Republican Primaries, Rick Perry didn't need any help from the media to make himself look like a bumbling idiot he did it all on his own....not sure what a bubbling idiot is.

I'll give you this much. He has managed to keep the right wing kooks in Texas in the corner, unlike AZ, GA etc that keep shooting themselves in the foot with embarrassing legislation. Unlike AZ which drove them and their contribution out, Texas quietly welcomes every illegal who comes over knowing that it is them who have fueled the recovery in that state. Time will tell if the social burden of that will catch up with Texas, but for now they are riding high in the saddle

And after Greg Abbott becomes governor of this great state (right after the marvelous job done by Rick Perry), we will continue to lead the nation in job growth and sustain a superior quality of life. It's great to be a Texan!

I wish our Gov. in Florida was working as hard as Gov. Perry. Good for him.

Abbott is not near as Progressive as former Democrat Rick Perry.
Watch Abbott go after sanctuary cities, driving the illegals out like Jan Brewer tried.

All I can say is thank you Texas to be able to put up with these issues for one of my most favorite condiments.
hey now, thats two things we agree on the only bad thing about the siracha sauce is that they put phosphorous in it, and that is bad for my kidneys so i use louisiana hot sauce instead.
