Perry, White Contest Was Over Before It Started
Rick Perry didn’t beat Bill White on Tuesday because he was more ruthless, raised more money or looked better on television. He didn’t win because conservative voters in Texas vastly outnumber liberals or because Texas’ economy has created more jobs than the rest of the country. And he didn’t win when he tried to hand President Barack Obama a letter or when he shot the coyote with a laser-sighted pistol while jogging with his daughter’s puppy.
He won re-election because of what he did on April 15, 2009.
Few remember that at the time U.S ...

So, when's the date for secession?

One would think that Mormons, having been victims of unconstitutional persecutions that were drummed up by the same sort of mob manipulation, might take a stand against it these days. I suppose some, like Harry Reid, do just that, but still the majority of Mormons, it seems, are happy to join the bandwagon, regardless of truth and principle.

The Islamic terrorists are, for the most part, Saudi Dissidents who were denied a seat at the table in the Governance of their homeland. In reply to that, some of them have descended into violent terrorism.

If today's Republican voters, in Texas and in the heartland, were denied freedom of expression, a fair vote, and the majority seat that they now have in the House of Reps, many of them might also descend into violent terrorism against the US Government

The Islamic ideology is just a tool used by the terrorist leaders ... a form of mind manipulation that they use to lead innocent young Muslims to their own death by suicide bombing. Ever notice that Osama Bin Laden himself has never engaged in a suicide bombing? He, and the other leaders of the Saudi Dissident movement don't buy into the 72 virgins in Heaven themselves. They just use it as a tool to lure innocent Muslims into serving their rebellion against the Saudi Government.

Jason Stanford,the author of this article, is listed as a Democrat political consultant. Can anyone name a candidate he consulted for that has won an election? I need to know how credible he is to know what he is talking about? I love reading articles written by consultants.

The Monarchical Form of Government in Saudi Arabia is the root of the terrorist problem. Please join me in the peaceful petition of the US Government to change our Foreign Policy to stop upholding tyranny in Saudi Arabia.

Perry is so transparent. He just says what people want to hear than continues to screw them over. He's a Republican stereotype if there ever was one. And on purpose because it gets him elected time and time again. He's little better than a dictator. We need term limits for Texas governors.

In 1775, the Continental Congress adopted the Olive Branch Petition, the last attempt at peaceful resolution of Monarchical oppression by the British Monarchy. The rest is history.
It is time for us to honor the Spirit of 1775, and to make a history of our own. A history that our children will be proud of, because it is consistent with the principles of freedom that have taken centuries to uphold in this nation and in foreign lands.
It is time for us to adopt a similar resolution, with regard to the Saudi Monarchy... Please join with me in supporting ...
