re: #40 Lidane

Tell me about it. I was damn near apoplectic when Rick Perry started pandering to the neo-Confederate idiots and the Republic of Texas revisionist morans when he suggested that Texas could secede again. I don’t think I’ve ever been that angry at a politician, ever.

And he’s going to be re-elected, I can damn near guarantee it.

Back during the primaries, I heard a local radio station interviewing Highland Park** residents, and the one that stood out to me the most was a woman who said she was hyper-vocally supporting Perry because she was “tired of the campaign.” It had just been going on too long, and was apparently too much trouble to keep thinking about. So she was supporting Perry for no reason at all, in hopes that it would just be over with already.

** Highland Park is a suburb of Dallas, and the Beverly Hills of Texas. Think Mark Cuban, Jerry Jones, Ross Perot, and President George W Bush.
