Texsox Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 07:58 PM) Where's the part where he relies on God to solve the nation's problems? And the part where he appoints creationists to remove evolution from textbooks? Exactly. Where did Perry actually rely on God? He prays, just like every President has said he does.

So many Presidents plead to the public on television commercials, standing in front of American flags, to come join them in football stadiums to pray to God. And I love how you ignored my 2nd point. I never took you as a creationist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 07:21 PM) How could you trust someone who's governing tactics include running away (i.e., secession) or deferring to a higher being? And if I need spirituality I'll go run over to the neighborhood church. I need someone who's actually going to effectively govern and has some actual ideas. That is a pretty common Democratic tactic lately... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's saying something. You're right. Because most of the reason Texas struggled for the last decade compared to the rest of the country was that it had grandfathered in significant, strong regulations of its mortgage market, which slowed growth for much of the decade but protected it somewhat from the bust. So over the period of a decade Texas wound up behind the national GDP trend, but for the last 2 years it was above it. Regulations of the sort that require actual proof of income and require loan operators to actually verify income. Things that if we tried to impose them at the national level would have you guys crying out "Regulation...the horror! Socialism!" Because that's the fun game now, to say that people aren't investing because of the horror of unnamed regulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I will definitely say this. Now that Perry's in this race, the tone of the stuff I read has changed. I feel like a lot of people were confident that OBama could take out Romney or Bachmann or the field. I don't get the same feeling of confidence about Perry, there's much more of a doggedness in going after his record already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Mortgage brokers have a reputation of being a bit unscrupulous at times, but Texas residents can breathe easy knowing that their state has some of the most stringent laws and regulations regarding mortgage brokers. Some of the most strict laws and regulations regarding Texas mortgages involve Combined Loan to Value (CLTV). This is a percentage number which signifies how much the home is worth versus how much money is owed on the home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
