Perry has been taking credit for the Texas economy. Please note . . .


1. Oil is Texas’s largest industry. He had nothing to do with the oil boom over the past three years. For a time in 2008, oil was selling for $148 a barrel. Oil was $25 a barrel when he took over from Bush.
2. Texans do not pay personal income tax or capital gains tax. The Texas Constitution has prohibited such since 1993 before Perry became Governor.
3. Texas is a “Right to Work” state. That is, according to the Texas Labor Code a person cannot be denied employment if he doesn’t have union membership. This makes it attractive for businesses to relocate there. It was passed in 1993 as well.
4. Texas has one of the lowest wage rates in the nation. Another reason it is attractive for businesses to relocate there. Perry didn’t have anything personal to do with the geographical location of Texas.
5. Before Perry was Governor, Texas was a “pay-as-you-go” state for roads. That changed under Perry and Texas started incurring 21B of debt.
6. As a result of Perry’s “2006 Tax Swap”, Texas has the largest budget deficit in state history, 18B.
7. The Federal Government helps support Texas (NASA + 7 Army/Navy Bases) Federal spending in Texas has doubled since Perry became Governor 200B a year.
8. Texas did not experience the recession like other states because of a smaller exposure to sub-prime loans due to stricter lending regulations.

McTones has been bringing some of this stuff to light also.  Perry's looking less and less like a good candidate.  But his popularity seems to be soaring.

If 3333 is right, Perry is soaring because the right at this point is happy to put up the best looking face against Obama, lol...  That's kinda sad.  If that's the way they're going to handle the primary, Ron Paul should make fun of it and come to one of the debates with a Ken Doll mask on lol...

he hasn't had to answer Qs yet.  He's spoken and gotten the hell out of there.

The debate is wednesday night - it'll be tough questions.  And please, let's not say "but but but those were all gotcha questions!"  They're TOUGH questions.  I think the new mindset is that any Q that isn't a frickin softball is a GOTCHA question.

Hell, obama had the balls to go on Oreilly BEFORE THE ELECTION.  I'm betting we don't see Perry ot Mitt going on MSNBC like that.  OReilly beat the shit out of obama with tough Qs, but it wasn't GOTCHA questions, it was a hard ass job interview for the toughest job on earth.

People will suddenly see that perry's a little dim.  He'll get caught on many discrepencies with things he said just a year ago.  The RIGHT will point all this out, not the left.  He's at the TOP at the moment.  Remember, it was RUDY and THOMPSON at #1 and #2 in the GOP race at this point in 2007.  how did that work out?  It could be paul, bachmann, huntsmann or palin winning it, with these 2 frontrunners in the dust by february.
