Is Texas Gov. Rick Perry the New Reagan?

No surprises there LJ, we really didn't need that article to let us know that Perry would not be a good choice for president.

Apparently Obama's worst day as president of the Harvard Law Review was better than Perry's BEST day in "Animal Breeding".....

Know what's really telling about this particular lie? Every single time the question is put to the voters, the majority of whom according to you support gay marriage, the issue gets voted down, even in regressive enclaves like California. Why would this be true if what you say is true Kate?

Exactly! Polls show one thing but votes in even the liberest of states show the opposite that the majority don't want it. So if it comes down to a candidate who has a very successful economic record at creating jobs and attractign companies who is against gay marriage or one who is for gay marriage who has the worst economic policies and has lost jobs and has no economic experience, who would you vote for Kate? Or anyone else who wants to answer?

Perry's worst day of governing and having to balance a budget was better than Obama's........ wait, he never did any of that before people voted him in.

uh....Perry's Texas budget isn't balanced Viking

Texas faces one of the worst budget outlooks in the country, and amazingly, only about a third of it was caused by the economic downturn. The state has had a chronic shortage of revenue after years of slashing property and business taxes and creating numerous tax breaks and exemptions, just like the proposed one for yacht owners. Yet Republicans still insist on not raising taxes, and as a result have had to rely on draconian cuts to balance the budget.

they're trying, but they have run out of things to cut, and still no raise in revenue. Yep.....Perry is doing a fine job of running the great ship Texas.

:rofl

I will vote for the candidate that will not give up rights for money. Clear enough?

Can you imagine what this country would look like if Perry did to America what he and his Republican cohorts have done to Texas? this country would have to declare bankruptcy.

You would think that. Creating have the jobs in America since the recession started is terrible. I know that you have a miopic view of most things and can't see the big picture. It's OK, we don't need your vote anyway. Vote for the total failure who can't create jobs even when handed trillions.

Creating jobs at the expense of a deficit spiraling out of control.....that's good? Texans may have more jobs (though they may, or may, not be decent wage job....but their educational system is a huge failure, their budget is out of control, there is no money for services, roads, bridges, infrastructure, they are in worse economic shape than most any other state......and this is what you think is a good model for the US as a whole?

I think we can do better than that.....apparently you don't
