I never thought Texas would be able to make the conversion to a free society this quickly. I'm not surprised Perry won. Perhaps by 2008 we can make some progress. God bless Texas! I miss you  Ann Richards!!!!

If you don't like the status quo in Texas....then vote for Kinky Friedman!\n\n4.4% unemployment is pretty good. Be happy.

Not nice!  LOL!  But I would say the good ol Governor of Texas!  Rick Perry!  Some people think that Bush was one of the worst to come out of Texas.  You ain't seen nothing yet!  Sad thing is..... he would never flush.  :-)

Just to insure that his money and all his "friends" money continues to roll in......one way or another.  I can't see any other reason he would have to run for governor.....he has done nothing for TX.....

It has to do with the fact that he is a republican. If they had democrats running this country we would be better off and in less debt then we have now. But no they have to have some Texas Republican who is a idiot running this county and giving him full power to make the wrong choices for our country

The only state with a legal right to secede is Texas and that was part of the deal when it joined the union right after the civil war. Any other states would be in essence creating another civil war if they tried. Texas would have problems trying but has the legal option where none of the rest do.

The Census is based on participation of the people.  If they choose to not participate and hurt the State of Texas, that is their choice.

The Governor of Texas is none other than Rick Perry. You can view a picture here: http://www.governor.state.tx.us/

I agree with you.  I think there should be a fence around the entire state of texas.  Call the governor of Oklahoma and let him know your concerns.  I'm sure he feels the same way.

I have changed mine since it was deregulated.  There are still issues to deal with, but it is getting easier to deal with....\n\nSince it was Bush's state, that must be why it is sooo good!\n\nJust remember this...  Most of our armed forces come from TX.   Texas can live without the USA... The USA can not live without Tx.

I think for Republicans, power & money = freedom and liberty.  And they seem to think that as long as the leaders have it, America is safe in the world.  Power is control, Religions lobby the government just like Big Oil and Pharma and countless others.  \n\nI think that right now the Religious Right is perceived as very powerful and perceived as the majority in this country - when they are only just barely 51% of voters.  That makes them a natural ally for Republicans and Republicans need to strike now, before we start having 75% or 95% of Americans (not just registered Voters) coming out to vote.\n\nSo what I am saying is that the Republicans are happy to use the power of the Religious Right because they are the power of today.  They will do whatever the Religious Right says, if they can, in turn, continue to provide the votes to keep Republicans rolling in "freedom and liberty".

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.

We had a chance at annexing Mexico once, but the issue at the time was slavery and the Northern Free States were afraid of being superceded by the Southern Slave States in the Congress. So, we left the country alone and only took the land we believe we were entitled to, which was the South West including California. To take over Mexico now would be a very bad idea. Best to settle our own affairs and help Mexico in a better fashion.

I think he has a good chance, but it depends on how many Texans are willing to take that chance. But yes, by now everyone's sick of politicians making promises and not keeping them, they would be more apt to trust someone that just seems more honest. He seems like he means what he says.
