Ok, Boo. Seventeen (17) things that critics are saying about Rick Perry Seventeen (17) things that critics are saying about Rick Perry | Pesky Truth
Don't be in denial.... the economy and unemployment will take center stage during this cycle, Boo
Oh, and another thing...Obama is taking Perry more seriously than you are. Wonder why?
I posted the rankings dude. Perhaps you should look at them. :coffeepap
You can fool some of the all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but the fact remains, Texas is not heaven on earth. A closer look shows more than superfical numbers can. If we want to be honest, we look closer.
I can post you rankings to the contrary, what bothers me is that you cannot explain why the labor force growth in TX along with the population growth in TX leads the nation. Apparently those businesses here don't pay any attention to those so called rankings that you tout. I will take the actual results vs. what you post.
And yet, MA ranks clear ahead in education and health care.
What Perry policies can you cite that contributed to that?Perry has promoted an atmosphere that creates jobs in TX and is a great ambassador for seeking companies to move to TX.

When did I say that TX was heaven on earth? It just beats the Obama alternative. Would you rather live in a state like TX with the freedoms we have or the nanny state that Obama is promoting that is based upon Federal mandates?
BY all means post them. I've run across a few different ones, some ranking texas as low as 49th. Let's see what credible source you pull from. :coffeepap
Interesting that you ignored the Obama resume but now find resumes and past experience something to thoroughly review. Yes, let's demonize the competition while diverting from the Obama record. That is right out of the liberal playbook

Let's see your Education rankings that show TX at 49th. you made the claim now prove it
Your right but, this is not the argument I am making, just because MA. is doing better than TX doesn't mean in any way shape or form that MA. is a success. The educational system is failing our students, the state healthcare is still bankrupt and our taxes here is MA. or still high and we can very little in return. My point is that the government is the problem especially the federal government, the difference between TX and MA is that the state of Texas isn't in our wallet, in our house, in our business and in our personal lives to the same extent as MA.Isn't it? I mean, that money Texas gives to business in corporate welfare, where do you think that comes from?
And MA is not worse than Texas:
Well Above Average 1 Massachusetts 4.82
(snip)
Below Average 31 Texas 2.45
State Education Rankings: The Best And Worst For Math And Science
In this ranking, MA is number one and texas 32nd.
In healthcare:
Massachusetts 0.906 02
(snip)
Texas -0.364 40
Measure
MA is second in overall ranking and texas 40th.
Good comparison.
Depends on what you define beating as. Spending your tax dollars on corporate welfare, while losing on education and health care may well seem better to you. Maybe not to others.
Health care ranking (remember I spoke of both):

Look at overall ranking.

for once, be honest with yourself and this board...results/record mean nothing to you, all you are concerned about is does the person have an (R) next to their name, if they do, they get your vote, regardless of the results/record they have.Interesting that you ignored the Obama resume but now find resumes and past experience something to thoroughly review.

Let's see, TX has a net job gain since Obama took office and Obama has a net job loss. TX has a balanced budget and Obama has added 4 trillion to the debt. TX has more people employed today than when Obama took office and Obama has less. Sounds to me like the TX record beats the Obama record. Just imagine where Obama would be without the TX record.
Get real. Obama needs an economic miracle to keep the job, and it doesn't look like that will be forthcoming and to just hint on Perry's political savvy
Perry is already making it Perry vs Obama, instead of Perry vs all the other Rep contenders.
Its hook, line, and sinker and you are biting, Boo

You made the claim about education not healthcare, As I have pointed out, there are many different options for healthcare in TX but unlike you Texans believe healthcare is a personal resonsibility not a Federal Responsibility, just like education is a state responsibliity not a Federal Responsibility. Seems that the Nov elections tell you all that you need to know about the feeling in TX as Texans gave the Governor a filibuster proof Legislature. What do the people of TX know that you don't, my guess is quite a bit especially since you don't live in TX.

This is what will be on the ballot in Nov. 2012 so the "R" won't make a difference
Obama economic results in 2011, .4% GDP and 1.3% GDP growth in 2011, 24+ million unemployed or under employed Americans in 2011, 4 trillion added to the debt in less than 3 years, and a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating. Rising Misery index 7.83 to 12.67. First President in U.S. History to have our credit downgraded on his watch! 40% JAR and well over 50% disapproval ratings.
