Gov Rick Perry

Gov Perry says he can do for the United States what he did for the state of Texas. Yea right!!! Check the state-by-state statistics for child poverty, families without health insurance, percentage of working poor, student performance, school dropout rate, unwed mothers, or any other statistic that measures the success of a state government in assisting its citizens. You'll find that Texas consistently ranks towards the bottom in most areas critical to fostering a successful and healthy citizenry.

Perry's claim that he created a Texas job boom is just so much bullshit! There are plenty of jobs in Texas - a right to work state - but few that would provide more than minimum wage earnings with no health care.

N.B. Gov Perry, in a blatant appeal to garner the fringe right vote, has rekindled the Obama birth certificate fiasco. This cracker barrel cowboy has the audacity to assume that he has the intellectual resources to lead this great country.
