Thanks partner. It is guys like you who think like me that will get me in the White House. Call me about them illegals too.
Many Texans wish Rick Perry and the Texas Lege had faced their responsibilities five years ago rather than saddling us with billions in budget shortfalls and cuts to essential services like health and education.

A 5 billion deficit would be 0.3% of the 2011 US deficit. Texas is about 8.5% of the total US economy.Lol at Darrins complete inability to actually address a single data point.
Wake me up when you show a grasp of any issue beyond the normal drive-by. Iphone posting or no.
Perspective
Jimmy Ricky won't do outside of the faith-based (ake, self-deluding) Bible-belt and bubba areas, and of course robotic Repugs who will vote any old dog that get the nomination (rather than stay away).
Kicking it forward to future generations only matter if there's a (D) after the politician's name.
It doesn't matter if they are D or R. Kicking it forward is an unfortunate by product of having a huge representative republic. A representative no longer represents a community of people that know him personally, he represents a huge block of people that typically only know him through sound bites and campaign ads. It sucks but a better form of government still hasn't been invented.
Its not the form of government thats at issue but the stupidity of the governed.
is he going to debat someone this time?
I'm one of 'em.
lol....there's a first time for everything.
My comment was primarily aimed at somebody that was crying a river a couple of days ago about a certain president kicking it forward to future generations because he didn't want to make the tough decisions. But looks like this same person has no qualms with somebody doing the same thing that has an (R) next to his name.
Texas faces a shortfall of between $15 and 27 billion dollars over the next two years, depending on who's doing the calculation.

You don't really care about accuracy, do you?
There's exactly two options, Darrin: gross ignorance or intentional misrepresentation. Which is it this time?
Actually, 5 billion (or 25 billion if you choose) is still a much smaller percentage of the total Federal deficit than the .3% he posted. He accidentally erred on the side of caution.
In other words, you didn't bother to check the fact you highlighted, but regurgitated the OP mindlessly instead. Thanks for highlighting my point.
I doubt it. Focusing on a single year minimizes the hole Rick Perry's leadership put us in.

Not that many, he crushed Bill White remember.
If Perry gets the nomination I would be happy to see Obama try to take on Perry on the issue of debt. Perry will win that argument easily.
Funny, but way off. Much as I hate Rick Perry I couldn''t bring myself to vote for Bill White.Not that many, he crushed Bill White remember.
Perry would rip his throat out in a one on one unscripted debate too. Take away Obama's teleprompter and it's like cutting Sampson's hair.
I keep telling y'all...you are dramatically under-estimating this guy...if Obama decides to run a negative campaign (which all indications seem to point to) Perry will be like a pig in . He won't run like a scared pussy like McCain.
Perry's hardly as great at debates as you're suggesting. Luckily for us, ducking them like a coward isn't an option this time.
If Perry does partake of a debate, it will likely be his first one.
When was Perry's last debate?
Rick Sanchez in 2002. Twice.
Don't confuse the fact that he chose to win subsequent elections without debating as lack of ability. It was politically calculated. Debates tend to favor the challenger rather than the in bent.
