What is your take?
Hey actinanass, You Got Boots In Texas. Rate Perry As Governor
- Thread starter thoughtone
- Start date
Overall, Perry's been a decent Governor. Not as good as Bush, but better than Ann Richards.
He was great during Katrina, and Rita.
The mandatory shot situation made him look kinda bad, but a lot of Texans forgave him for that.
Perry isn't as strong against illegal immigration as I would like, however, he tends to do what is right at that time.
Overall, I think he would be a huge overhaul compared to Obama because Perry will not take any shit from anyone. The things your party got away with against Bush, Perry will defend himself better. He has a similar swagger as a Reagan.
Thoughtone, if Perry wins, you will have a miserable eight years...

I hope he allows Texas to secede from the US and takes all of the negro coonservatives with him!
Lets keep the power of retlaW outta here....
Careful. They've already clearly shown that they will risk the nation, to get 1 person.
Does this demonstrate hardball politics or in actuality hatred for the first African American President?
Thought asked a question. AA answered honestly without any ugly comments. Questioned a Mod and this is the answer he gets.
Liberals protect their own. I guess its ok he voted for hope and change.
What about him taking the 650 million for the poor and elderly that he has used to balance the budget and has not dispersed to the intended.
The money was collected as a fee on electric bills when he deregulated them.

Yeah, thats the answer he got. Now here's the answer you're getting: mind ya own gotdamn bidness.
(I'm finished with being courteous to you until you can learn some respect for us Black people)
Use your best judgment; and err on the conservative side. nahmean?
Looks like he has been very good.
The highlights in their run-down of Rick Perry's war on students and teachers include:
Perry's budget cuts $4 billion from school district formula funding.
This budget cuts $1.4 billion in education grants, including Pre-K and dropout prevention.
49,000 school employees may lose their jobs within a year.
43,000 returning college students will lose financial aid.
Texas teacher pay ranks 31st nationally.
Per-student funding in Texas ranks in the bottom third of all states.
There is an official Rick Perry thread I have started to centralize all of his statements.
Whoa. Let me get this straight.
You approve a sum to be added to each electric bill to offset the utility expense of the poor, which should aggregate around 146 million; but <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">so that you can say that you haven't raised taxes</span> to balance state's ailing budget, the state then takes 80 million from the poor folks fund to balance the state's budget ??? - while poor people are dying in the Texas heat because they can't afford to keep window air conditioners running ???
GTFOH.
CBS News -- the Lamestream media, must have this wrong. Right?

and I thought they were just after Obama. Hell, he may be lucky. They're killing poor people in Texas

the 146 million is just this year. total projected through the next couple years is 900 million.
all the while cutting education not only k-12 but in the state universities as well.
but i guess if all he does he bring in a majority of lower wage jobs the people don't really need to be educated.
so again i wonder how good has he been ?
you didn't speak on the question. That money and program was set up for a specific purpose and Perry is misappropriating it to boost his bullshit record.
That program was started when the electric companies were deregulated for a specific use. He isn't using it for that and to date he has used 650 million to plug holes in his budget.
Has nothing to do with class warfare it has to due with ethics from mister ultra christian lets pray for rain.
If you give your wife 300 to pay the electric bill and she goes to the mall and your lights get turned off would you be happy?
Same shit....
you have 9 billion supposedly in a rainy day fund but you cut education to balance your budget instead of calling it a rainy day.
Look at you
That race crap doesn't work anymore. When backed into a corner you liberals use it. Needless to say it's maxed out. I don't lose sleep over you not being courteous to me. I invite it. You're absent of excuses for your messiah, look at you wading in the mire.

This is true actinanass.... no offense but you do this pretty often. Speak to issue please.

Useless post full of projection. "You liberals are all the same" yadda yadda "Race card" yadda yadda "Obama is your messiah" yadda yadda.
Why not address any of substantive material in this thread rather than all this bizarre cheerleading from the sidelines?

Hey Gunner. Why is that wrong ? You white people have been getting a free ride for generations.
You are he reason I stopped going to church. I felt that God must be white if he allows White people to rule because you are some of the dumbest no common sense having mofokrs ever made.
everything you touch turns to shit.
there have been tribes on the amazon that have survived for eons and once you mofokrs show up they die off.
c'mon man don't act like you have earned your place
He's doing a great job himself!

It's only warfare if we fight back!

You'll get use to it.
First of all, I pay my bills online because I know companies can fuck up.
Secondly, rainy day fund is for true emergency's. You know, like KATRINA. Something so dramatic in a major city. Not budgetary things.
You talk of ethics like Obama is the most ethical person in the world. GTFOH
When you're defending an indefensible character, attack someone else.
I see you, AAA.

It's politics. That's the name of the game...
You do it in support of Obama. However, the difference in people on here, and me is that I will say "Perry is fucking up with immigration/name anything I disagree with". I'm not emotionally attached to any government official.
That's fascinating.... you think this is a quality unique to yourself?
Well lets test my theory.
Criticize someone you support.
If you can't, then stfu...
I've made a kajillion posts on political topics on BGOL. The fact that you believe you're enlightened enough to be critical and that this doesn't extend to others says more about you than anyone else. There's no context for me to "criticize" anyone I support. I'm not into that team mentality shit in the first place.
