At a time of economic turmoil across the country, Perry need only point to his home state. The Texas jobless rate was 7.7 percent in April, a sizable improvement over the national rate of 9.1 percent.
More than 1 million jobs have been added to nonfarm payrolls in Texas since Perry took office.
This is what America needs.
still waiting for a source on this....
The largest percentage of jobs has been added in the oil & gas industry. Which is great for a lot of people but for most of us ordinary Texans, nothing to write home about.
We still have foreclosures, unemployment, crappy schools, the highest percentage of people without health insurance, you name it, we're at the bottom of the scrapheap.
What I find interesting is that Perry is most popular with people OUTSIDE Texas. I'd say take Gov. Goodhair and welcome if the prospect of him as prez wasn't so depressing.

What's a source going to do once it is proven? You will still have your blinders on. i don't see the point. You need to do some homweork pal.
But if you really want to know my source, its the Bureau of Labor Statistics. ever heard of them? Look it up. Now, 5 minutes in the corner for you.
Texas' non-farm employment grew from 9,542,400 in January 2001, when Perry took office, to 10,395,800 in June 2010 — an increase of 853,400 or 8.9 percent. Big-government California simultaneously lost 827,800 jobs.
i am sure you will find the difference if you look at the monthly numbers since June 2010. But that will require some work on your part. I am done teaching.
For seven years running, CEOs polled by Chief Executive magazine have rated Texas first in business development and job growth. Texas boasts 58 Fortune 500 companies — more than any other state.
As America's No. 1 exporting state, Texas shipped $206.6 billion in goods abroad last year, composing 16 percent of America's $1.28 trillion in exports.
Texas taxes neither personal incomes nor capital gains, and Perry proposed a 2010 constitutional amendment to require two-thirds super-majorities to legislate tax hikes.Perry advised "a regulatory climate that is fair and predictable" as well as "a legal system that doesn't allow for over-suing." Thus, Perry signed groundbreaking "loser pays" tort-reforms and medical-litigation rules that caused malpractice-insurance rates to fall. Some 20,000 doctors since have flooded Texas. cough cough....healthcare anyone?
wrong. see my post above. It just troubles me that you can't do it yourself.
Bureau of Labor statistics pal. Maybe you should back off this thread now, considering you are not ready to comment. Consider yourself served.
oh, i did it for you. here is the difference from the 850k up unitl June 2010.
Texas, aided by a robust private sector, gained 225,200 nonfarm jobs from June 2010 to
June 2011
Now what say you? The jobs aren't good...they are all in the oil industry. Now go on about how I don't repsond to direct questions.
WOOT!
i asked for a link. i want to know exactly where you are getting your numbers from. i can't find the numbers you are posting on the numerous bls pages. you tell me to educate myself, so i want to read about it.
i remember the first point i scored in a debate :roll:
"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
Perry soon could emerge as a seasoned, competent, growth-generating conservative. This should unite the Republican base, make tea partyers boil with glee, and magnetize independents and sensible Democrats.
If so, voters just might dispatch Barack Obama to design his presidential library.
Nah, got a keg of Stella for each day...no worries. Big ass party bus, sun shade, grill and a bunch of my liberal friends. I wasn't about to buy you a venue beer! Do you think I'm nuts?

"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
He's like, the next leader of the free world and current HUGE winner in Texas. He was jogging without a security detail and had a firearm. You not getting it is a sign of your inability to GET IT.
Oh...wait, you get it. :-/

How do you figure this? Just look at the polls and you'll find he's not popular in Texas.
He will be in South Carolina this coming weekend and the story is he'll announce his candidacy. (What a surprise! :shock: )
Yes, he thinks so much of his home state that he's going to announce a run for the presidency in another (important primary) state.
Is everything with you partisan bs? Our country is an f'n mess because of both parties and only someone so biased can't see that. Both parties suck and the citizens are just as bad cause they sit idle and watch it goes to hell.
I figure Obamas platform for re-elaction will sound like this....a lot
"Look, I inherited this mess. It's not going to be fixed overnight".
Just wait. That will be the re-election platform. It's going to be HI-larious.
CONservative governMENt
Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis
No, he's not a fruitcake. That's true. He's a bad leader, an extreme right-wing zealot and freak.
He's like, the next leader of the free world and current HUGE winner in Texas. He was jogging without a security detail and had a firearm. You not getting it is a sign of your inability to GET IT.
He's not popular in Texas because he's a horrible governor.

Care to make it interesting? What's the policy on political wagers for Pearl Jam gear?

You to prince!
I'm a people person!
Woot
Yes, I suppose he could.
Then again, he could be seen for the clueless, fact-bending, sex-phobic, ineffective, extreme right-wing zealot that he is.
Kind of a crap shoot.
I know who I will be putting my money on for the crap shoot
just kidding man.
my fighting days are done. do you think i want to get this pretty face more messed up than it already is?
you don't have to get me a beer, that is $10 you can use on yourself. it's going to be a long, fun, expensive weekend...

Is that the gun that the poor dear needs to carry around so the mean old snakes do get him?
What a wuss.
If that picture impresses you, this country is doomed.
Are you sure they're not just taking bets on who's gonna be in the next world series? Biden's like, "Are you guys nuts? Phillies, man, Phillies!"

Haha.
Kidding, we all know he isn't.

Who's winning?
