1...... Under Perry Texas is 47 in Education Funding.

2.....Under Perry Texas is 51 in High School Graduations...completing 12 years of school.

3....Under Perry Texas is 50 in Health Care Coverage for it citizen.


These numbers are lower than when Bush-2 was Governor. This is what Perry will do to the USA.

1. But Texas has "JOBS, JOBS JOBS!!!!!"
Especially if you're a big fan of unlivable wage slavery.

2. If he becomes viable, we HAVE to hammer that home. I've heard
a couple of news bits saying he "brought jobs to Texas" and that's what the majority of Americans (understandably) will latch on. No mention that most of those jobs are minimum wage, and that the workers need assistance (food stamps, etc.) in order to survive.

We always have the ammo, we just never seem to be able to aim and fire.

6. Has anyone in the msm asked him about his comments of
having Texas secede from the union? The media is giddy over the repub candidates and eager to give thre craziest of them credibility. Just shows that politics is nothing more than entertainment to them. WWCD what would Cronkite do?
