Governor Perry is an official Presidential candidate now. We expect him to get support from some Republicans, but listen to Democrat Representative Lloyd Doggett: He says he's deputized himself as a one-man truth squad -- "Far beyond the Red River, we must tell our countrymen, Rick Perry wants to do to America what he has done to Texas."
If he's going to tell the truth, one must assume he means that, while the national unemployment rate is 9.1%, the Texas unemployment rate is 8.2% -- despite our large population of illegal aliens. One must assume he means that, while we are income-taxed to death on a federal level, Texas has no income tax. One must assume he means that, while the nation's budget runs a deficit year after year, Texas has a balanced budget. One must assume he means that, while our nation has run out of funds and must borrow to pay its debts, Texas has a "rainy day fund." One must assume he means that, while federal union regulations prevented Boeing from opening up a new plant in a location they chose, Texas has a right to work law which reins in union coercion. One must assume he means that, while our President says that the U.S. is not a Christian nation, Texas has a leader who is not afraid to pray in public and confess the sins of the nation.
I will admit that some of these things are not directly attributable to Rick Perry, but Governor Perry has stood behind them. So, go ahead, Mr. Doggett -- warn America about what a rotten state Texas is! The truth just might backfire on you.
