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.

This election will be about jobs. No state did better at creating jobs than the one that Perry ran.

Ah yes. 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.

It's pointless to discuss religion with you.

This might be the most misleading chart I have ever seen you post on here. And that's saying something.

Like I said, I want someone that doesn't turn to fairy tales and mythology to fix the answers to tough problems. That's straight up lunacy.

Ugh. I'll make sure not to tip my waiter.

How could you trust someone who's governing tactics include running away (i.e., secession) or deferring to a higher being? :lolhitting

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...

I love the spacing on that chart

 

Wages are up like 50000%! Oh wait, that is 0.5% :lolhitting

Perry's just closing the inequality gap between states, that's all. A noble, egalitarian cause.

Yeah. That's it. That is the equivalent of push polling.

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.

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.

And just curious, does the tea party looks at murdering an innocent man as a pro or con for Perry's run for office?

Absolute, pure bulls***.

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.

Refused to hear appeal from a guy on death row with legitimate science saying he didn't do it, defends himself by saying that the guy was a bad person, shut down an investigation looking into the case.
