Your problem is you grew up in a vacuum in Santa Barbara California: you are arrogant, selfish and self-centered, you are a bigot, your view on the world is myopic and most importantly, your sarcasm is juvenile and third-rate. \n\nTruth be told, Texas, while not perfect by any means, has a hell of a lot less problems than The People's Republik of California.

New Hampshire's population is larger than Mississippi's :) Electoral representation is determined by the size of a state's population, not its geographical size.

I am from Texas.\nMany people think he is.\nI've met him and I assure you that he is not.\n\nHe is smart and well spoken in person.\nHe graduated from a well respected university and is personable in person.\n\nHis policies and political mistakes have made him disliked by most Americans. We are all tired of the war and have the same questions about it expressed by people in other countries.\n\nI hope this answers your question without going off like most people seem to do about him these days.

If G.Bush had had a good psychic back in 2000, he would have stayed in Texas. They may have psychic classes at Yale but as G. Bush said, "I went to Yale, but I didn't let it go to my head."\n\nSo, as G. Bush would say, my answer is huh?

confused_honey, you sure are confused.\n\nBush is prejudice?  How so?  Name one case.  He has hired more minorities than any president in history.  You just 'believe' he is racist inside?  You can't show me one instance?  Is it the southern accent?  does everyone with a southern accent hate minorities?  Is mayor negan racist?  He left all those Black people there to die, and did not follow the written evacuation guidelines for the city.  Then the governor would not allow the national guard to come into the city to help because once she allowed them, she would lose 'control'.  What specifically did bush do wrong?  I'll bet you can't answer.\n\nBush is greedy?  How so?  He has given more money to social programs than Clinton has.  Where is he greedy?  If you want to see greedy, look at clinton and his real estate deals, or widow marrying kerry and his wife he picked up at her husbands funeral.\n\nStop repeating every liberal propaganda crap you hear, and look into things yourself.

Being from Texas, it puts him in a tough no-win spot. \n\nBush has typically been for NOT having the tighter controls.  He has a working relationship with the Mexican President.  \n\nBut this thing has turned into a firestorm of controversy.  There NEEDS to be some sort of answer to compromise as well as possible.\n\nYet another reason why you couldn't pay me enough money to be President!!!

This answer is going to be blank for me...except for taking jobs for Texans and keeping healthcare from Texans because he prefers to give it to Katrina evacuees.  I have friends that have lived here their whole life but can't get WIC for their kids because of some katrina evacuee.  Then there are people like myself looking for a job, who fill out an application, get aksed if i'm an evacuee and get put in  a separate pile, so I'm a second choice candidate for the position.\n\nSo no, he hasn't done diddly squat.

This is not the first time I have seen this question. I am here in Texas. I came down here to help a company with a Y2K project for a company which was run so poorly that none of the local talent wanted to expose themselves to the client. I ended up getting stuck here. While I have finally gotten to a point where the Texans don't shock me any longer, I can honestly tell you that Texas is a world unto itself. Good or bad it is what it is. The response that Bush is actually from New England is something you will hear allot down here, but as I try to tell them (as kindly as I can), Bush's management style is the worse of the Texas management which I have seen. His style is pure Texas oilman. And as you know Cheney is a Texan, too. The similarities between LBJ and W are not unusual when taken into consideration from a cultural point of view. LBJ gave us Vietnam and W gave us Iraq. LBJ fabricated the Tonkin Gulf incident, Bush fabricated the Iraqi threat. I appreciate your venting, but I don't think getting rid of Texas would do much good. It would only increase the land mass we would have to fence off.

What state does Dubya come from?  Texas I think.  Nuff said.

Because George W. Bush don't care about America, or any of it's people regardless of race, color and creed. Mostly I think he just hates black people. That's why it took so long to get help for the victims of Hurricane Katrina down South, because they say that the majority of people living down there are black. I hate Bush. Plain and simple and I can't believe that I have to suffer for another 2 years while he's president. 6 years has been long enough. If I was Harry Belafonte I would just say to Bush, "Screw you. I'm not gonna apologize, because it's my right and you can't change that."

He already knows that and Texas is his home now and as a matter of fact, he was Governor of Texas for two terms. Get your facts together. And he is a TEXAN.

No, people think that Iowa is just a place to raise hicks. Look at the south. It is stereotyping. People think that if you are from Iowa you have to like corn and everything and some people think that if you are raised in the south you have to have a daughter by 10 to be popular. Many good people come from Texas, which is in the south. But you just consider the south better because it is not Hicksville, USA. Look at some who came from Iowa- Herbert Hoover (President), Ashton Kutcher,  ISU football team, Hawkeye FB team, etc. So no, in short it does not make you a hick to be in Iowa any more than it makes you be an alchoholic at 5 in the south.

Probably, because they know they won't stand a chance against him.  He will take Texas because we are conservative.  He will take NY because of what he did for NYC after 9/11.  That is 2 of the 3 states with the most electoral votes.  Yeah, they're scared!!!

He's from Texas it's his accent, every state in the country basically has a different accent.
