By the way, welcome to the new & improved "Chat Spot". Now we have a
deluxe apartment in the Discussion forum. Thanks for posting...
Sorry, folks, Rick Perry, the tongue-wagging "guvna" of Texas, is running for President of the USA, & we don't want him elected. That, to be succinct, is the main beef I've got with Texas. The foolish populace elected him three (count 'em) times.
Hey, I'm a Tennessean now so I have little room to talk--also a "red state". It's the "war of the roses" and I'm with the blue roses, not the red ones...I'm a cavalier & not a round head...SO, let's keep Perry and his ilk out
of the White House!
Yes, Texas is a state of contrasts--I remember it
back in 1963 when JFK was murdered there in Dallas. I lived in San Antonio
at the time and JFK was there the previous day...I "kicked myself" for not cutting class and going to the rally with my peeps. Back then, Texas was LBJ country and there is quite a contrast between now and then...John Connally, the governor of Texas back then, was also shot along with JFK. Gov. Connally was wounded & lucky he didn't get killed...
Folks, you just have to know my history with the state of Texas...I love many
of the people there. I have two grandparents buried there and I have cousins
once removed who still live there. Now, Texas is very much a "red state".
However, the city of Austin usually votes "blue". So there goes the "contrast"
again. I kept up with Texas politics and I liked it better when it was a "blue state". Go figure...So, yes I can't let Texas be Texas because I know Texas
can & will be better.
