No. I got it in one. I provided "any economic number that is better today than the Bush averages including the recession."

imho, we should get back to talking about Perry's problems.

That is the problem with people like you, you really don't understand the economy just like you don't understand the Perry situation. Rhetoric is all you are good at, substance, not so much.

Perry has no problems, liberals do

Awww. Diddums.

On the contrary. I foresee significant backlash against the democrats for this stunt. Perry may or may not win the nomination but i think it will be because there are better overall candidates. Nit because of partisan loonys in austin

In my mind bush and obama blur together, at least on economic policy.

I'm glad somebody gets this, because most people are castigating one while defending the other. And as long as that happens, the Democrats and Republicans can keep playing ping pong with our balls.

The veto itself is a check on legislative power, in turn checked by the power to override that power. Separation of powers/checks and balances, I think people get surprised when they learn that the executive branch is actually vested with powers.
 
Because the GOP has had such wonderful Presidential candidates in this century.

And an idiot like Kamikaze Kruz making fun of a real war hero in Sen. Dole .

Actually, in Texas, nobody trusted politicians when they wrote their state Constitution. So the Governorship is relatively weak, and the Congress meets only every other year. Most of the power in Texas is in the hands of the various commissions.

As was intended by our Founders, part time legislators and power in the state and local communities except for National defense. Send Congress home to their Districts and make them face the constituents daily

ftr, I suspect that the specific argument above is hogwash.
But idk.

Even Democrats are calling this nonsense....

This was nothing more than an attempt by the FAR LEFT to take the heat off of Leirner and Obamy****s golfing...

First Texas governor indicted in almost 100 years. Rick Perry is an embarrassment.
 
The indictment is an embarrassment.

So far as I understand indictments, they only mean "there's enough evidence here of something being wrong that we recommend further investigation/legal proceedings to determine whether something bad actually went down."

That's it.

Yea, that's pretty much it. Perry was indicted, but that doesn't mean he is guilty. Proving guilt is a higher bar to pass over than reasonable suspicion..
