I’m an idiot. How bout you? At least, according to Gov. Perry‘s definition I am.
Our illustrious Governor stopped over in Mexico today so he could bash all of us who are in favor of a border fence. I also imagine his aids had to pry his lips off the butt of the Mexican President afterwards.
Perry was in Mexico on a so called Trade Mission. There were also many business leaders from around the state in Mexico begging for Mexican contracts and probably lining up some Mexican workers.
You want to know why immigration is not a big deal to politicians? One reason is that the Politicians do not want to upset the campaign donors. It’s a power thing. In order to get more campaign donations, they suck up to whoever is donating the money. At this time, it happens to be the U.S. Corporations. To hell with what is good for U.S. Citizens, it’s the campaign dollars that really matter.
So Perry, seeing an opportunity to pack away some good measures for future political gain, scurried down to Mexico on Texas taxpayers money in order to do two things. Suck up the Mexicans and suck up to U.S. Corporations. He’s succeeded on both accounts.
If you believe that the 2008 Elections are meaningless and that you’ll vote for “whoever is winning at the time”, then you should just do everyone a favor and stay home and watch Oprah. Your country is going down the tube and you can’t muster enough Will Power to do a few minutes of research and educate yourself about the issues.
The Republicans felt the wrath of the voters at the last elections. Still, many have not learned their lessons. They’re quick to point out that they lost because of the Iraq war and will point to polling survey’s to prove their point. They never stop and realize that in order to be counted in poll survey’s, one must be at the polls in the first place.
No, they lost the election because many Republican voters were fed up with the way they acted like Democrats and their lack of action of immigration…so the voters stayed at home.
Politicians such as Perry are looking over their noses at us and we’re letting it happen. Come 2008, we’d better send another message to Washington and Austin.
Lt. Governor David Dewhurst has made it no secret he wants to be Governor. He let us down at the last sessionwhen he caved into Senator Whitemires intimidation and fit throwing when it came to the Voter ID bill. I say this is reason enough to show Dewhurst the unemployment line. If he caves and buckles to a bully like Whitmire, what will happen when he faces heads of State or other push politicians? He’s showed us that he will not stand up for Texans, so why should Texans show up for Dewhurst?
#1 Idiot in favor of the Border fence and responsible politicians signing off now…
