Doesn't it concern you that Christers should seek higher office?

The only thing that concerns me is the state of economy. Of all the candidates or potential candidates of both parties, Rick Perry is the only one to have successfully managed one of the world's largest economies through this recession. His success in that regard is beyond any doubt or debate.

Turn down the blaring right-wing radio...

Did you simply choose to ignore the fact that the state government of Texas remands the governor to a relatively token position? That he in fact has no real power? And that any economic or other progress cannot be duly attributed to him? Or what?

[smackaholic]

Would someone please tell how in the fukk this thread goes 2 pages deep without a slap shot reset?

[mvscal]

So...what's the down-side to Perry?

He's done some things that have pissed off wingnuts on the right and left but, overall, ten years of experience and successful results speak for themselves and outweigh any nit picking.

And he kinda looks like Gary Cole in Office Space.

"Rep. Boehner....how's it goin? Um yeah, I'm gonna need you to come in on Saturday to work on that budget proposal. We're gonna get started around 8, so if you could make it in by then that'd be great."

IAs for Texas it might be losing a couple hundred teachers, but it has created more private sector jobs over the last 10 years than any other state in the union. There isn't even a close second.

Facts are facts. While the rest of the country has been sucking horsecock, Texas has been rolling right along. It's doing well because it limits government to affordable levels and encourages private sector growth. Intelligent people understand that there is no government without a private sector to pay for it.

Translation: Tejas has hired more illegals than any other state. That 7.25 an hour sure makes the private sector and their shareholders happier than pigs in shit. Now if we could just eliminate those pesky government job and education unions we would be all set. Too bad those fuggin illegal taco-benders couldn't learn some Englaise and start edumacating our kids. You know they wouldn't ask for shit when it came to benefits for fear of deportation. Yes...life is grand and the future is bright! I'm not delusional...the citizens will never catch on! lololol roflmao! War ivory towers and private schools for my rugrats! Fuck America as it was intended!

Mvscal (italian for sucks corporate cock and enjoys political corruption) now labels me a dim-witted fuckwit, semen-slurpin ingrate, or jizz-moppin degenerate as per usual instead of getting a clue about what the fucks going on in America and the shit that's going to go down in the near future.

[Y2K]

That was a complete mess..... The state ofTexas hires illegals for $7.50, the sky is falling and dude claims he's a jizzmopper...mmmmkay


Nobody hires illegals like California folk... so go fuck yourself...


Excellent melt though...it had some entertainment value.

[mvscal]

Mvscal (italian for sucks corporate cock and enjoys political corruption) now labels me a dim-witted fuckwit,

You've done a fine job of that yourself. Next time try mixing in some facts with your hyper-emotional, knee jerk fucktardery if you are able.

[LTS TRN 2]

It's perfectly true. You're a total corporate whore/shill, period, and you've never implied anything else. You're a one note weirdo who curiously reflects the Limpdick hack line in a tight humorless drone.

[Carson]

Damn, you're three times as pissy since Olberman got fired.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

You're a one note weirdo

Oh, that's rich. When have you ever deviated from your looney toon schtick? You even find ways to turn topics that have fuck all to do with rightwing bashing and politics in general into just that. You are about as one dimensional as it gets. You have zero depth. None. Zip. You're Sirfindafold with a thesaurus. Yeah, that's a little IKYABWAI, but sometimes it must be done.

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

You're Sirfindafold with a thesaurus.

Sirfindafold has occasionally made me chuckle. Felchco? Not so much.

I figured you'd say because he roots for the Ags on Turkey Day.

[Truman]

It isn’t every day one encounters a bona fide F5 on the Enhanced Fujita scale of mental retardation.

Not only does Felchco’s spin defy imagination, but his catastrophic destruction of any vestige of logic or sanity unfortunate enough to lie in his path is simply breathtaking...

[War Wagon]

Yeah, that's a little IKYABWAI, but sometimes it must be done.

Unavoidable sometimes. This is one of those times.

[Go Coogs']

Perry has very few friends in Washington. He's always been a proponent of seceding from the Union.

And mv, it's not hundreds of teachers, its thousands.

[LTS TRN 2]

Sure, it's easy to throw out hollow smears and dismissals...but where is anyone willing to actually dispute anything in particular? About Avi and his one-note Limpdick parroting?..or the Texas governor who has very little real power?...or the malignancy of Christer loons panting for apocalypse while propping the fake apartheid state with all their might?

None of you pooty dolls dare to step up--and that's a fact.

He's been a staunch proponent of the 10th amendment and has "few friends in Washington." Again these are positive traits.

And mv, it's not hundreds of teachers, its thousands.

Even better. Sure it would be nice to have all those teachers but, guess what? You can't afford them. What part of limiting the size of government expenditures to the ability to pay for them are you struggling to comprehend?

Did you not wonder why it was California that sent a delegation to Texas to study job creation and not the other way around?

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

...but where is anyone willing to actually dispute anything in particular?

Like you do?

You've never debated a god damned thing on this site in your life. You just come to use this place a a sounding board for your holier-than-though, hyper-medicated ramblings.

Do you not have any friends in real life? Is this how you conduct yourself in reality?
You just barge into a room and blast your mouth off, hands firmly over ears?


I'd wager to guess not many folks here subscribe to my philosophies, but at least I can dialogue with human beings, whether in jest or not. You might want to examine the reasons why you are incapable of such action.

[mvscal]

or the Texas governor who has very little real power?

You keep saying that but I'm any hearing any specific limitations on the power of the Texas governor that would limit him to a mere spectator. Obviously the reason is that you are completely full of shit...as usual.

The only weakness the Texas governor has in traditional executive authority is that he cannot issue pardons or commute prison sentences on his own authority. He still has veto power. He can still issue executive orders. He still has the power to appoint state officials. etc. etc.

But go ahead and prove me wrong.

But go ahead and prove me wrong.

Here's a quote from an article on the subject few years back, though nothing's changed.

Texas has a governor whose role, by constitutional design, is to be a relatively feeble public servant.

As governor of Texas, Bush is not allowed to appoint all the members of his Cabinet. He does not write the state's budget, and his ability to write legislation is limited by his constitutional authority and the fact that the Legislature meets only once every two years.

''It's probably the weakest governership in the country,'' said Charles Wilson, a former Texas Democrat congressman. ''It's riding in parades and appointing people to commissions.''

''The lieutenant governor has more power in Texas than the governor,'' said historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr., who once put the Texas governorship in a tie for last place when ranking the constitutional and legal powers of the 50 state executives. A similar survey by Congressional Quarterly ranked the Texas governor in 49th place.

And he has few friends in Washington? Go ahead, just keep repeating "job creation" along with the racist slurs, it suits you.

[Carson]

Here's a quote from an article

Bull Fukking Shit.

How convenient of you to not include your reference or a link.

Cocksucker.

[mvscal]

He's just recycling the same meme they tried to use against Bush...unsuccessfully I might add. The article is, of course, complete garbage.

The governor doesn't have a "Cabinet."

From article 4 of the Texas constitution.

Sec. 1. OFFICERS CONSTITUTING THE EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT. The Executive Department of the State shall consist of a Governor, who shall be the Chief Executive Officer of the State, a Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Comptroller of Public Accounts, Commissioner of the General Land Office, and Attorney General.
(Amended Nov. 7, 1995.)

Sec. 2. ELECTION OF OFFICERS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT. All the above officers of the Executive Department (except Secretary of State) shall be elected by the qualified voters of the State at the time and places of election for members of the Legislature.

That's pretty standard. In California, all of those positions are elected including sec. of state. The budget crack is also bullshit.

Sec. 9. GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE AND RECOMMENDATIONS; ACCOUNTING FOR PUBLIC MONEY; ESTIMATES OF MONEY REQUIRED. The Governor shall, at the commencement of each session of the Legislature, and at the close of his term of office, give to the Legislature information, by message, of the condition of the State; and he shall recommend to the Legislature such measures as he may deem expedient. He shall account to the Legislature for all public moneys received and paid out by him, from any funds subject to his order, with vouchers; and shall accompany his message with a statement of the same. And at the commencement of each regular session, he shall present estimates of the amount of money required to be raised by taxation for all purposes.

That is, more or less, how it works on the Federal level as well. Governors of the various states all have broadly similar powers. As I said earlier, the only difference is that the governor of Texas is constrained in his ability to issue pardons and commute sentences. But I don't ask people to just take my word for it. I think people will find the Texas constitution to be a more reliable source of information than recycled political lies and distortions.

http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/

[LTS TRN 2]

The article is solid--the info is accurate. You are punked once again. But this is standard. You've never proven or backed up anything. And once again you're left just sputtering the same gibberish again and again. Just like on Climate Change or the water crisis. You are a FRAUD. And a weasel.

[mvscal]

You provided unsourced opinions which offered no specifics. I provided the Texas constitution.

You have been pounded like a tent peg.

[LTS TRN 2]

Of course the sources are named--the the former Texas congressman, the historian Schlesinger, and the Congressional Quarterly.

Do you claim to dispute these experts? How? You're a parrot of right-wing radio hacks, nothing more. They're actual experts.

As for your clumsy attempt to obfuscate with some useless quotes from the Texas constitution, these samples don't even attempt to dispute any of the claims.

And if you want more evidence--of what has long been common knowledge--I'll continue to pound your sorry ass.

After all, you're not really concerned with anything but a silly attempt to prop the Texas gov as some sort of viable national candidate. The actual facts of the structure of the Texas legislature are obviously of no concern to you--just like with the environment, police operations, or the function of unions.

And such is the case with other shallow tedious little hacks.

[mvscal]

Do you claim to dispute these experts?

Yes, I do and did. Oh, and they aren't "experts." They are political shills whose sole purpose was to minimize Bush's executive experience prior to the 2000 election.

The Texas constitution exposes their lies and half-truths. The Texas governor has pretty much all the same tools as any other state executive chief. It's right there in black in white. So...who are going to believe? The actual statutory authority or what some "experts" have to say about it?

[Dinsdale]

So...who are going to believe? The actual statutory authority or what some "experts" have to say about it?

If this is a serious question...

Peep my sig VVVV


And take a big guess who he's going to believe -- whoever is offering up the opposite of the truth/fact.

But let's cut him some slack, shall we? To someone of low intelligence, surely the world is a more entertaining place if you buy into every conspiracy/contrarian theory that comes down the pike.


Beats the hell out of yelling "Hey you kids, get out of my yard" all day.

[LTS TRN 2]

First, the experts cited aren't shills at all--or can you offer some evidence to the contrary? Second, G.W. Bush was a weak and venal governor--whose legacy was one of paving the way for Enron and similar criminals like Tom DeLay. The Chimp's disgraceful tenure as (unelected) president needs no elaboration.

As for the relatively weak role of the Texas governor, this has long been a well-known feature of the Lone Star state, one of which they are proud, etc. Your soft attempt to equivocate that carefully limited executive role with those in other states is hollow--as usual.

What's your point again? Oh yeah, "job creation" and sucking up to the Koch brothers. Pathetic.

George W. Bush called it "the best job in the world," yet many would argue that the Texas governorship is a weak office. Given few enumerated powers by the Texas Constitution, the governor must build a successful relationship with the state legislature--sometimes led by a powerful lieutenant governor or speaker of the opposing party--to advance his or her policy agenda. Yet despite the limitations on the office and the power of the legislative branch, many governors have had a significant impact on major aspects of Texas's public life--government, economic development, education, and insurance reform among them. etc....

[Dinsdale]

And mv, it's not hundreds of teachers, its thousands.

Even better.

No doubt.

I'm not sure when things got so fucked up, but proponents of public education are quite the loony lot.


YOU created a need for education

YOU created the expense to society.

And then YOU... decided it was MY job to pay for it... at a rate proportionately higher than YOU pay for it?

Seriously? WTF is wrong with you? You going to pass a law that says you get to se my car whenever you want to take YOUR kids to school?

Here's a novel idea -- people with children should pay MORE in taxes than those without. There's no argument anyone can logically make to support the current system of penalizing those who keep the burden of public expense down.

It's a case of democracy crumbling into "mob rules" mentality.


RACK Texas for trimming a massive amount of fat, and placing the urden on those who created it.

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

Only the rich should have access to education. They, by the very virtue of their wealth, represent the uppermost reaches of human ascendancy.
