The shit has started..."How Rick Perry created the "Texas Miracle"
Front page, top story on Google News......
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/08/12/eveningnews/main20091874.shtml

The media is going to fall in love with this idiot quick! Read more about the details of Perry and his "miracle" and you will realize there was no miracle.

This guy is going to lie more than the others.

I think this will get interesting quick!

3. What about all the rumors that Perry is gay? That should be interesting too...
...considering the teabaggers.

I look forward to the first openly gay prez, but I doubt that would fly on the right.

19. We HAVE to call bullshit on this (if he even gets in the running) -
I heard a Congressman from TX talking about how he's HATED there by so many. And, that he wasn't doing all that well in the race until he jumped on the secessionist bandwagon, so there's bound to be lots of footage of him doing that.

20. What miracle? Isn't Texas at the bottom or near it in good indicators and near the top in bad ones?
Why would we want that crap nationwide?

21. Yes, by luring jobs from other states and taking the stimulus
Edited on Fri Aug-12-11 11:29 PM by Samantha
money to create minimum wage and some less than minimum wage jobs. I saw someone from Texas commenting on his job record today, and he said the quality of the low-paying jobs only increases further the difference between the have's and the have-not's. He also said the stealing of jobs from other states contributed zero to impacting the national recovery positively.

Perry is another one of those all hat and no cattle politicians the late Ann Richards (God love her) used to talk about.

Molly Ivins tried to warn the Country about the way Bush* truly messed up Texas and said he was coming to Washington to do the same thing. Did most voters listen to her. No. I hope they listen this time, because Perry is worse than Bush* (if that is possible).
