Everything's bigger in Texas right?

It's bullshit.

1. I remember that came up some in the 2000 campaign

It really isn't a very powerful position. But I think that kind of nuance is lost on most people, at least outside of Texas.

2. We went through that already: it did no good

We cited the last-in-the-nation education results, drop-out rates, low-paying jobs, lax regulations, etc. ... GWB still won twice.

5. He didn't win, he stole, BIG difference we must not ignore

(unless we want to promote rover again.)

3. Weak Governor

Inconsequential federal government.

4. And our net gain of jobs? NASA, baby. Government spending. And they just fired everybody.

Texas miracle?

Texas PR miracle, fersure.

[Uncle Joe]

6. Because the corporate supremacists and their corporate media propaganda machine

don't want the American People to have strong political leadership representing their best interests, they prefer the most powerful office in the land to be occupied by an "all hat and no cattle" corporate puppet.

Thanks for the thread, LLStarks.
