New ad from Democratic Governors Association on why Texas needs to replace Rick Perry:
Twenty-five years as a politician changes you. You think injecting 11- and 12-year-old girls with a controversial drug — without a parent’s consent — is a good idea? You think it’s right to use a government takeover of Texas homes and property — so foreign companies can get rich? You spend taxpayer money on a fancy mansion — while Texas faces an $18 billion dollar deficit? On the issues, 25 years as a politician has changed Rick Perry — for the worse.
It seems like the year for a protest vote. I’m tired of feeding the establishment by voting for their candidates. Rick Perry has been very ineffective and scares the crap out of me sometimes, and he even has the gall to run for another term. People used to think running for 3-4 terms as a shameful…

I am a firm believer in intelligent design as a matter of faith and intellect, and I believe it should be presented in schools alongside the theories of evolution. The State Board of Education has been charged with the task of adopting curriculum requirements for Texas public schools and recently adopted guidelines that call for the examination of all sides of a scientific theory, which will encourage critical thinking in our students, an essential learning skill.
And Texas continues to be a joke.
It appears that one of Rick Perry’s pet projects, the Texas Enterprise Fund, is falling short of its job creation goals. The Fund, which has distributed more than $400 million to growing businesses since 2003, might not be doing a bang-up of a job in bringing jobs to (and keeping jobs in) Texas….

The Texas Tribune published a feature piece about the campaign of Republican governor Rick Perry, who’s seeking a third term in office.
Social issues might be in the back seat, but they’re still in the car: “There is still a land of opportunity, friends — it’s called Texas,” Perry said. “We’re creating more jobs than any other state in the nation. … Would you rather live in a state like this, or in a state where a man can marry a man?” (The Texas Tribune)
Because they’re mutually exclusive?
Really, do we need this man in a position of power? If you’re in Texas, please vote this guy as far out of office as possible.
A comment on the Advocate.com version of this story is interesting too:
“New Hampshire is generating jobs, its unemployment rate is steadily dropping, the tax burden is lower than in Texas, income is higher, and it allows gays to marry. Educated and hard working people should come here.” -commenter Al
Well, what do you know.
I have mentioned that I get the occasional letter, email, phone call, etc., from candidates in San Antonio, Bexar county, and around Texas. When I do get one of these, I will be sharing them with you. I believe that as citizens, we have a bigger responsibility than to just vote, we should also…
Rick Perry (R, Gov of TX) announced six days ago his plan to cut the drop out rate.
Texans 18 years and under should not get drivers licenses without certifying school attendance or enrollment in home school, private school or GED courses. Apparently Perry didn’t know—or doesn’t care—that this has been Texas law since 1989, and he has been responsible for enforcing it since 2001.
