Yes, wonder if you saw anything in that article that wasn't commentary like actual data?

Not much. As I said, it was most vague words and subjective claims.

If that were true why did the Obama regime feel the need to suppress conservative groups beginning in 2010?

Isn't that why the IRS is in business, to harass and hound conservative groups who might make a difference?

Oh please. More hyperbole? At worse that was minor league harassment of people who weren't for Romney any way. :lamo

Guess nothing ever is going to change the mind of an ideologue. Too bad when you do realize how bad things are it will be too late.

I think that applies to you. You're projecting again.

if I am wrong then we are no worse off than we are now, if you are wrong, you have destroyed the healthcare system. I cannot believe how actual facts are foreign to you. You have yet to explain to me why we need UHC and why you have been unable to sell your program to your state?

Nonsense. Absolute nonsense.

I have explained it to you. It's cheaper, it has better access, and it can be removed from employment, thus putting more of your money in your pocket.

The second question is just asinine.

You live in a dream world that doesn't exist. Your theory seems to fail in the real world. Always will but then again that is liberalism. You drive private insurance out of business how long will it take to get those businesses back? There are never any contingency from liberals for failure.

Want to bet that I have voted for more Democrats than you have voted for Republicans? The irony is I grew up a Democrat but outgrew it. Some people however never grow up and need liberalism for a lifetime.

Your report doesn't tell you what you want it to tell you. You want to judge the state of TX with 12 million working Texans based upon 500,000 making minimum wage. Better stick to Iowa.

The U.S. Census finds that the number of people in poverty in Austin's suburbs more than doubled in the last decade -- up a whopping 142 percent. Meanwhile, Williamson County started off with 11,735 people living in poverty in 2000 and ended up with 34,069 by 2010.

Apparently you aren't used to the big population in TX and TX counties, Williamson County is over by Austin and has over 442,000 people with less than 8% at the poverty level. Wonder what percentage of Iowans at the poverty level. Keep digging as your obsession with TX is quite interesting.

He'll, I grew up in Jacksonville Florida and Atlanta Georgia. You're wrong yet again.

And keep in mind that I've made no cliam about Iowa. I merely showed your cliam false.

And what false claim was that? By the way, Jacksonville, Florida population is 827,000 and Atlanta, Ga 540,000 so you were saying?

Both of those are larger than the 442,000 you listed. That's all. And you said Texas was better than MA in healthcare, wrong. That Texas had jobs and better standard of living. Wrong. I merely pointed you rank low in nearly very thing. You're example of conservative heaven is really a sucky place to live. You sang it's praises, but really don't know how it stacks up.

LOL, we are talking a county in TX and one that has a lower percentage in poverty than your state. You are right though, I hate living here, low taxes, low cost of living, very conservative state, limited govt. and liberals have to be off the street at dark.

No, we were talking about where I've lived.

I am totally shocked at how many Texans you know and your knowledge of what people in this state believe is good for them. Your understanding of every topic makes you quite a legend but is only second to your arrogance.

you gave me cherry picked data that you don't even understand. You have no concept as to the diversity in this state or the varying economies from different parts of this state. You totally ignore that there are liberals in this state and liberal areas are typical to other liberal areas around the nation, worse than their conservative counterparts. TX on a whole is a great state to live in. Like you, I have lived in various parts of the country and none better than where I live now. It really is too bad that your opinion of TX comes from articles that you don't even understand and take totally out of context. Why don't you compare TX to California, New York, Illinois, liberal states and see where those large states rate in terms of the same information you want to condemn TX for.

I realize that nothing is going to change your mind nor do I really care. Your jealousy and the jealousy of other liberals is in full display.

Hardly. I merely looked up the rankings. Used multiple sources to verify. The results are what they are. Of course, anyone who pays attention knows of the troubles in Texas.

I sure do and of course the rugged individuality in this state drives liberals crazy. You see, Texans understand personal responsibility and most aren't looking for handouts. Those that are, are transplanted liberals who expect the taxpayers to take care of them. I don't see the people of TX exiting the state in mass, gee, wonder why?
