The office of ...Perry has done nothing for Texas. <br /><br />The office of Texas Governor is weak and has very few responsibilities (the light weight Bachmann has more responsibility...and she is probably the weakest in the current field in regards to experience).<br /><br />Unlike all other states, Texas is lead by its legislature (as it should be), not at all through the Governor's office.<br /><br />What Perry has managed to do is:<br /><br />1. Raised Taxes billions of dollars on businesses and consumers<br /><br />2. Executed health mandates against the will of the legislature and the people of Texas<br /><br />3. Forced the citizens of Texas to pay for the college education of illegal immigrants<br /><br />4. Engaged in the abusive use of eminent domain<br /><br />5. Attempted to sell Texas roads to foreign interests<br /><br />6. Pro Amnesty (in the recent campaign cycle he has taken to reversing this stance as the Tea Party has become more of a threat to him than the Hispanic caucus)<br /><br />7. Engaged in wide scale cronyism by signing contracts for Texas projects to companies that give him campaign cash or for which is his former staff now work.<br /><br />8. Misused the resources of Texas by having sizable security details travel with him at all times (abnormal for a governor)...even on foreign trips...all at the expense of Texas taxpayers.<br /><br />9. Misused (i.e. stole) Texas taxpayer money by spending $700k on housing over a 2 year period.<br /><br />10. Stole well over $100k of the taxpayers' money by going on a Middle East excursion that had nothing to do with the business of the State of Texas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434819406898941181.post-26767554139730924732011-08-24T19:15:32.281-05:002011-08-24T19:15:32.281-05:00I actually like what I have read about McCotter be...I actually like what I have read about McCotter better than any of the others, but he will be frozen out just like Tancredo was.<br /><br />Bobbie McAuliffe<br />PoteauAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434819406898941181.post-13690389992230708142011-08-24T09:54:50.452-05:002011-08-24T09:54:50.452-05:00You don't think Palin will anounce Labor Day w...You don't think Palin will anounce Labor Day weekend?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
