Fellow Texans: There's a 50/50 chance your governor thinks you're a traitor. But he wants your vote anyway...
Obama lost by 3,528,633 to 4,479,328 votes in Texas. This means a hell of a lot of Texans supported Obama - many more than would have been expected in one of America's most reflexively red states.
But our dumbass Governor pays no heed to shifting demographics and the finer nuances of public opinion. Facts and policies are for fags I guess. Instead, the idiot is campaigning for reelection on this platform:
"Stand Up To Washington. Join Together and Help Governor Rick Perry Fight Socialism Today."
So the 3,528,633 Texans who voted for Obama are Socialist enemies of America? Here's hoping the 'insult half the electorate, patronize the other half with infantile bullcrap' strategy Perry has adopted crashes and burns.
Then again his main rival, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, isn't exactly taking the high road either:
"A web site for the gubernatorial campaign of Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) included hidden phrases including "rick perry gay," a reporter from the Austin American-Statesman discovered today."
I don't know whether to laugh or cry... The political future of America's largest state is being decided on the basis of whether voters hate imaginary gays more than they hate imaginary socialists.

Is "standing up to" anything like standing against? I mean, is Washington attacking Texas? What's to "stand up to?"
ReplyDeleteIf this guy is proposing war against Washington, maybe President Obama needs to quell the uprising with force. On a ship at sea, his words would be considered mutiny and he'd hang from the yardarm.
He's definitely playing up to the Dale Gribble types who want to secede because they've read too much teabagger/Ron Paul stuff. It's very embarrassing.
