SPEAK OUT          The True Voice Of The American People
THE CLOWN OF TEXAS

Just another George W.

This man can not be serious about running for president. He is a religious fanatic that wants to turn America into a Theocracy. Where do these nuts come from. He can not take care of his own state which is drowning in debt. He has nothing to offer the American people but lies and sound bites. He is nothing more than another George W. Bush. A big mouth in cowboy boots.

THE TEXAS TWINS

BAD
NO

NOT

AGAIN
WORSE

SPEAK OUT 1 We all know how George W. Bush left America. He left it a complete shambles. He left president Obama with a recession, a mortgage crisis, failing banks, and people losing their jobs in record numbers. They try to blame Obama but everyone knows that two unpaid for wars left us trillions of dollars in debt. We borrowed the money to pay for the wars and now we have to pay it back. The Republicans refuse to take away the Bush tax cuts that gained nothing but more debt, and put the payment of these loans on the backs of the middle class, the poor and seniors in our country. The rich are not paying their fair share.

With no fanfare and little notice, the national debt grew by 4 trillion during George W. Bush's presidency. This was the biggest increase under any president in U.S. history. George raised the debt limit 7 times when he was president and no one even raised an eyebrow. Many wondered why we had all the problems to raise the debt limit this time. It is easy this time we have a democratic president and a republican congress. When Bush was in office we had a republican president and a republican congress. Get the picture.

SPEAK OUT 2 Now we have a new dunce from Texas Governor Rick Perry. I can not believe that this dodo has the nerve to try and get the Republican nomination for president of the United States. His state is one of the worst in the country. Texas ranks 44th in the USA in per-student expenditures and 43rd in high school graduation rates. Seventeen percent of Texans live below the poverty level compared with 14% for the nation. The state leads in the percentage of the population with no health insurance and was ninth in income inequality. With all our attention focused on the federal debt-ceiling debacle in Washington, it is easy to ignore our state debt crisis here in Texas. Texas' debt is increasing at a rate that rivals the federal government's, yet no one seems to know it.

The balanced budget that Perry likes to brag about was made possible by accepting $6.4 million in stimulus funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the program that Perry loves to rail against every chance he gets. Fort Hood is the largest single site employer in Texas, directly inserting nearly $3 billion annually into the Texas economy. If Fort Hood closed Texas would be the poorest state in the country. Perry likes to talk about job creation. It is a real joke. When Perry took over as governor, unemployment was 4.2%. By last June it had risen to 8.2% from 8.1% the year before. Not the right direction for job creation is it. To repeat again, Texas ranks as one of the worst states in education and education investment. A Texas Legislative Study Group Report found that the state ranks 43rd in high school graduations, 45th in SAT scores, 44th in per pupil expenditure on education and dead last in the percent of population 25 and older with a high school diploma. The group also reported that Texas ranks first in the nation of states that allow toxic chemicals to spew freely into the air and water. As you can plainly see that all the rhetoric that Perry spews out is just lies and bullcrap. Can you imagine after reading this what would happen to the country that we love if this nut was elected.

THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME OF THE NUTTY THINGS THAT PERRY BELIEVES:

1. Medicare and Social Security are unconstitutional: Perry believes that the Constitution forbids a federally operated program of pensions and federally operated program of health care, a position that would not only eliminate Social Security and Medicare, but would eliminate other health care programs such as Medicaid for the poor and SCHIP for children. Can you imagine what would happen to these poor people if this happened. I wonder if Perry would give up his federally funded military health care. I do not think so.

2. Federal environmental laws are unconstitutional nonsense. Perry claimed that the idea that the federal government can require action to clean our air is really nonsense. As mentioned before, Texas ranks first in the nation of states that allow toxic chemicals to spew freely into the air and water. Perry allows this and says that he loves his country. What a joke he is.

3. Bankrupting the federal government: In a recently published book, Perry writes that the American people mistakenly empowered the federal government during a fit of populist rage in the early twentieth century by giving it an unlimited source of income, the Sixteenth Amendment. It is no surprise that a contender for the GOP presidential nomination is anti-tax, but Perry's blanket opposition to federal income taxes, which are authorized by the Sixteenth Amendment would make it virtually impossible to fund Social Security, Medicare, or the U.S. military.

4. Democracy is a mistake: In the same book, Perry also opposes the Seventeenth Amendment, which requires senators to be chosen by an election and not by political insiders. Typical Republican thinking.

5. Texas may secede: Perhaps most infamously of all, Perry once suggested that if the federal government doesn't do what he wants, Texas may have to secede from the union entirely. Most people would promptly say, good riddance. America would be a better place without Perry and Texas for that matter.

Rick Perry is an idiot as was mentioned by someone the other day. I am appalled by some of the candidates of the Republican party that are seeking the nomination for president. they are off the wall and a real disgrace to our country. Perry and Backmann are what is wrong with our country. They spew out lies, and make promises that could never be kept. I do not know how people can vote and elect people like this. Our country is in a real danger from people like this. Their main aim is to destroy all that is good about our country. You must be very careful when you vote in 2012. Obama seems to me to be the only one that is stable, and who conducts himself as a professional. He does not resort to tearing down and making vile comments about any of the candidates running against him. He has too much class and does not want to bring himself down to their level.

If we want to restore sanity and order to our government we must be sure in the next election that we vote out the members of the tea party that were elected to the congress in the last election. To me and to many Americans they are internal terrorists bent on destroying the very fiber of the good things that make our country great. They lack compassion for those in need. They give tax breaks to the rich, and put the burden of their budget cuts on the poor and the middle class.
