We DO have another option. Be Libertarian for one election! Vote Gary Johnson! If you don't like it, you can go back to your hope and change and wars in 4 years.

The more Perry talks the more I believe Obama will be re-elected. How did that Dew race go for ya, Guvna? You're on your way out the door in Texas. Julian Castro, the NEXT (and first Hispanic) Governor of Texas!!!
