I don't think anyone here had you in the "leaning Obama" category.

One of Romney's big problems will be that Bain Capital's business was to buy companies and off-shore jobs. His job creation record is all about new jobs in India. Nonetheless, he is a more credible candidate and far more likely to give Obama a run than the two "empty heads" that are running against him. Huntsman is also a respectable and credible candidate.

Romney can't win for one reason...Obamney Care. What's the point in voting for Romney if he actually supports government control such as this? Romney is the one person I might stay home for. And I've voted in every local and national election since I was 16.

"Obamacare" is certainly better than "Republican-don't give a ****".

Sorry....but the facts say otherwise. During the last 4 decades we have seen the middle class shrink and "real income" is lower today than it was in the 1950's. The vast majority of Americans can't even afford to buy their own home today. In the 50's people were able to do so......and most homes were single income.

Real income measured by inflation is not going to get solved by tax schedules, it will only get solved by putting an end to the fed’s ability to debase currency. Democrats will never support such a thing because it would end your ability to buy votes with government deficit spending.

If Parry gets in and the GOP maintain the house, he can set agenda. This means all those stupid social policy crap like Constitutional amendments to make marriage between 1 man and 1 woman, defunding research in stem-cells, re-establishing don't ask don't tell, pushing for father rights in abortion, etc.

With looming budget woes, Perry's emergency legislation this year was voter ID (despite no proof of voter fraud) and legislation to require a sonogram before a woman elects to have an abortion. That could have your personal doctor stick one of these

between a woman's legs.



But on the compassionate side, Perry did refuse to sign House Bill 242 citing it an “overreach” and a "government effort to micromanage the behavior of adults."

The bill would have banned texting while driving.

Disney, how about just posting your mailing address so that I can send you a direct check for your healthcare since you believe it is the Federal Taxpayer's responsibility to pay for personal responsibliity issues.

TX balanced its two year budget without raising taxes, TX has a net job gain since Obama took office, TX has a growing labor force, TX has more people employed today than when Obama took office. Where is the liberal thank you for making Obama's numbers look better than they are?

Sorry....but the decline of real income and the destruction of the middle class began with the huge tax cuts to the wealthy during Reagan/Bush. GWB only help exacerabate it. Until we return to the pre-Reagan tax structure of this country and end rewarding corporations who take good paying American jobs overseas, our economy will continue to struggle.

Why is protecting peoples lives less important to you than protecting property?

What do you think is in the defense budget which was over 600 billion dollars? The Iraq War was winding down in 2009 and it was Obama that ramped up Afghanistan with the surge. How is that working out for us?

Well there was never funds for Iraq and Afghanistan when Bush did the budget, President Obama fulfilled a campaign promise when he put them in the 2010 budget.

I am for hospitals going after anyone that shirks their responsibility regarding payment for services rendered and taking their assets if necessary.

Texas balanced its budget by taking $6 billion in federal stimulus funds and by pushing tax increases and borrowing down to the local level. TX has a growing unemployment rate. When you take labor force change into account, Texas is LAST in the country at job creation.

Largely by making huge cuts to education. And again....Con.....you fail to address that TX's "growing labor force" consists largely of undocumented immigrants and low paying minimum wage and below minimum wage jobs. Hardly a record that you should be promoting.

And, if they have no means to pay and nothing to take? What do you propose?

To pay for what, Adam? Let's see if you are capable of admitting that you are wrong? TX took stimulus money to fund the Federal mandates on increased Medicaid and expansion of unemployment insurance or do you believe the state taxpayer should fund those expenses mandated by the Federal Govt?

LOL....con......you wouldn't open you wallet to help a soul. The reality is, the government funds all kinds of programs that you take advantage of. Healthcare is no different.

Then the taxpayers should fund that and do now. Many have the means to pay but aren't prosecuted for non failure. Also many illegals get ER services. i would deduct that expense from the foreign aid sent to those countries.

Again Con......you wouldn't open your wallet to help a soul. It would be a futile effort. Do you want me to send you a check to fund all the government services that taxpayers fund that you take advantage of? Or are you ok with the government funding them?
