GOP Texas Gov Hates America, Talks Seceding

[waterboy]

That is exactly what businesses do.

Cox raised it rates last month by about $7 on cable and $7 on internet?   Why?   Yup, to satisfy the demands of shareholders.

Banks are upping the percentage rates on your credit cards?   Why?   To make more money for shareholders.

Ultimately the company is beholden to the shareholder to turn a profit...   Any extra expense must be offset somewhere, and once the you have cut all the fat (effeciency expert, etc) then it comes time to raise prices.

Bad example. First there is little competition. Secondly their raises were not because of increased taxes or costs thrust upon them by government and lastly, they know just how much the public will pay before they switch to satellite. That's why they offer specials to lure old customers back. Apparently since that market place is dominated by a few players they can increase rates to satisfy greedy execs and shareholders. You actually proved my point.

YOU DA MAN RUF!

Well, I have pulled ahead of you in the bad karma department.... I think it's all part of a vast right wing conspiracy...  



Kinda ironic that later this year when the Obama administration attempts to tackle health care reform, HRC won't be there.... she'll be answering the phone at 3am, dodging sniper fire....

[we vs us]

Looks like Texas will bring a pretty penny at auction. 

Pre-secession ebay sale!  No serious offers will be refused!

This is really good! Enjoy!

HE'S BACK!

Rachel Maddow - ballistic on Texas Gov. Perry's burning stupid & huge hypocrisy

And then there's this: Christian right aims to change history lessons in Texas schools
State's education board to consider adding Christianity's role in American history to curriculum

Christians are fascists, always have been, always will be. Keep their filth out of our governments!!
The sooner Texas secedes, the better.

I love what one of the Texas guys said on Maddow last night. "Texas is like Mississippi with better roads".

We become a border state if they secede and get money to secure that border. Let 'em go. Mexico will take care of them.

LIving there for three years (Houston), I concur...

[Wilbur]

I'll betcha, Texas won't be the only one to refuse Obama Care.  In fact, Oklahoma will probably be second.

AMEN!

When not one Senator or Representative will put language in the bill to mandate they and everyone in the White House use the same system they are trying to force on the rest of us, should SCREAM volumes.

[waterboy]

So, you think we should bolt the Union because of a health plan? You think the current plan is worth fighting for? Worth seceding for? I sure don't.

[Crash Daily]

Do you think this is JUST about the health care plan? Everything this admin. is trying to do is a corruption of our constitution. Obama admits it. The constitution gets in the way of his massive, communistic, redistribution of wealth agenda. Besides, rejecting Obama care isn't seceding. I really don't think Texas will go that far, but I hope Oklahoma and many other states will join Texas in rejecting this and all the rest of his attacks on America. We missed the boat on that stupid, over bloated, stimulus package. No more over spending. I thought Bush was bad. This nut takes the cake.

Seceding is a little extreme.  I haven't heard that term being used.  It's talk of simply rejecting Obama Care, just as Texas rejected TARP money.

[TURobY]

...just as Texas rejected TARP ARRA money.

And then, turned around and asked the federal government for more than the amount Gov. Perry initially rejected. So, are we expecting that Texas will soon embrace it?

[waterboy]

Wilbur, just what would that accomplish? Other than to reinforce stereotypes of the two states that already exist. It doesn't serve the public. It would put us at a disadvantage versus surrounding states. The existing health system, (a stupid, overbloated, nutty, corrupt, massive, elitist, concentrated wealth producing system...thanks for the adjectives Crash) would continue to creak and groan in our two states while the rest of the country has their health system move up to match the rest of the world.
