People forget this is the same guy who is paying himself 100k a year in retirement benefits while still working(because he can he says). Then he slashed school funding saying it wasn't in the budget.

(apparently you do not know anything about Texas Politics, when a Republican/Democrat is elected, they generally stay elected until some oddity happens (they lose their election) or they retire).

On a side note, it will probably make the 2016 primaries a lot less entertaining.

At least Texas has an opportunity to get a better Governor.

Nope. Perry said he's not running again, so this doesn't effect his governorship. He was on his way out anyway. His buddy, Attorney General Abbott, is pretty much written in stone at the moment, thanks to a smear campaign. Same old ***, different Guv'na soon.

There's a worse smear campaign against Abbot though.

But you are probably right. Abbot will be elected, and the status quo will stay the same.

can we get some governors with cooler last names? I would pay to have a governor change their last name to something like "vader" when they get elected into office.

btw:
U.S. Virgin Islands governor's name is John de Jongh

While I don't agree with some of the policies made in Texas by Perry, can you deny the fact that Texas was largely unaffected by the 2008-2009 financial crisis, compared to the rest of the country?

We were actually one of the few states that maintained a positive GDP during that time. And that came from Perry and the Texas Legislation.

He was ok when he wasn't flapping his gums, which actually happened a lot during his governorship (not flapping that is).

The few times he did though....

Also, I won't forget that time he bullied that highway patrol officer for pulling him over and giving him a speeding ticket. That lost my automatic respect for the guy. I still respect him, but from what he did while governor, not automatically because he is governor.

But you are correct, he did care for Texas a lot more than people give him credit for. He took care of us better than I expected.

I'd go with the Sturgeon as well, weight is more evenly distributed, easier to swing.

Completely off-topic, but you never want to handle a fish by it's tail, you will break their bloodline and spoil the meat. Always handle a fish by the head/gills.

Good. Who did it happen to? A REPUBLICAN! What state did he govern? THE MOST REPULSIVE STATE IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY!
Figures someone triggerhappy would also have zero regards for right and wrong.
Let me guess.

You are either from California or New York. I'm guessing California due to your inability for rational and comprehensive thought.

So please, tell us all why you think Texas is the most repulsive state in the whole country? I'm sure you can find MSN articles to back your basis, because you are pretty much copying them in exact.

Also, please tell us why you think Rick Perry is, as you state it, "trigger happy".

Well you gotta give credit where credit is due. Unlike almost every other red state, Texas doesn't leech money off the federal government in order to survive. I can think of worst states, like Mississippi.

Connecticut, dipstick. Lurk moar.
As for why I think Perry is a triggerhappy numbskull, lessee. Anyone remember his spiel that followed right after the Sandy Hook shootings? "GUN MAKERS, FEEL FREE TO SET UP SHOP IN GOOD OL' TEXAS! WE'RE ALL BACKWARDS DOWN HERE AND GIVE NO *** ABOUT WRECKIN' THE LIVES OF OTHERS!" I believe were his words, in a roundabout sort of way.

actual statement:

Quote:
“A number of states in the United States are seriously considering restrictive laws impacting firearms manufacturers. While I support the efforts of law enforcement to identify, apprehend, prosecute and punish criminals who use firearms in the commission of their crimes, I do not believe that imposing additional requirements or restrictions on businesses is the correct approach,”

You are incorrect on your assumption of what Rick Perry said, as stated by volkom.

You still have not stated as to why you think Texas is the, as you put it, most repulsive state in the whole country. All you have done is spout partisan *** most commonly posted on MSN and CNN forums.

But let me ask you this: Are you a special case, or do you represent the people of Connecticut?

Tl:Dr yeah, the only use for these weapons is killing a ton of people, but we can't do anything to limit the accessibility of unstable people or encourage manufacturers not to sell them in large amounts to anyone who wants them.

Honestly, I've never been to Texas. Barring any situations where I get lynched, I'd love to check out a rival giant state. Whenever I get around to it, I'll be sure to ask FFXIAH for all the sweet spots to check out!

You guys can't be worse than FL.
