I'm just curious what your thoughts are.

Well, Perry is like most Texas governors, they don't do much which is how native Texans like it--less government is best.

He has made some screwups, imo, like the mandated stp vacinations for middle grade schoolgirls, and he's terribly lukewarm on illegal immigration

But, he has swagger and passion, and he's a cowboy, so I can get onboard with that. He will be a lot like Bush, and I'm plenty ok with that too. Sorry, Europe



SJL illustrates the worst characteristics of democracy. Idiots being represented by an idiot.

As long as there is no more wars like Iraq I think we can live with it.

Unfortunately this is not "Only In America" thing. I would like to point out that (unfortunately) its not necessary that voters be idiots too.

Here in Finland we have a "gentleman" called Teuvo Hakkarainen who got elected to Parliament in this spring. Unfortunately this first term representative have no clue what should and should not be said. He is from same town where I used to live and is causing terrible publicity to us. He also seems to be unable to understand that its part of his job that press will follow you. Especially if your blurts are good enough for frontpage coverage!

Most amazing in this case (my mom told this nice thing) is that when his mom was being asked about his sons activities she wasn't trobled at all. She just told journalists that its nothing new as "when he was young boy he once stole church silvers".
