and yah if you are going to attack Perry, there's a lot better things you can point out then obscure facts. Frankly speaking, the state of Texas is doing pretty damn well in comparison to the rest of the country. Rick Perry had nothing to do with it, he was just the beneficiary of being in the right place at the right time. But still, cmon the main reason why Rick Perry has such a good chance at getting the GOP nomination is because of how well Texas is doing. He's an idiot though, and it's sad that he's the best we can do as a republican. And thats coming from a republican.
