If we have to defend Texas in any significant way, Obama wins.

Obama may still win, but we will not have to defend Texas.

This is nothing but a shallow attempt to get rich Austin libs to pony up some dough for The Won. It’s so ridiculous a notion that even speculation about it is silly.

We Texans have had enough of democRATs. There is no chance 0′Dumbo will win Texas…even with a Washington DC RINO as the top of GOP ticket.

Texas – What America used to be

believe that cowboy hat pic was from the 2008 campaign. Man, has Obama aged in the last two years. Just sayin’…

Reminds me of Dingy Harry’s poetry festival or Brokeback Mountain…

Obama will win Texas as soon as Kansas elects Bernie Sanders Governor.

Well, they did elect Kathleen Sebelius, who’s doing more damage in DC.

But Texas has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation, thanks mostly to Gov. Rick Perry’s efforts to minimize intervention by the Federal Government, and Obama’s repeatedly demonizing the oil industry won’t win him any votes in Southeast Texas.

But if Texas is really in play for Democrats, they might even elect a Republican Governor in Michigan or Wisconsin. Oh, wait a minute…

White House wonders: Is Texas in play next year?

And all the little Oysters stood
And waited in a row.

“The time has come,” the Walrus said,
“To talk of many things:
Of shoes–and ships–and sealing-wax–
Of cabbages–and kings–
And why the sea is boiling hot–
And whether pigs have wings.” – The Walrus and The Carpenter

New construction is the usual indicator leading us out of a recession we overbuilt. We have had a high foreclosure rate across the country. When are those construction jobs going to see a comeback in Texas? Hint not by November 2012. There is no money in the kitty to bribe states with stimulus money to create shovel ready projects. Because there aren’t any shovel ready projects. That is why they keep pushing high speed rail – it’s the boon doggle that was supposed to hold them over and increase employment prior to November 2012. They call it investment but it’s just more spending that leads to more taxing. The Democrats have left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth (2010 Mid Term Elections) and unfortunately for Obama he is their poster child.

Also, the Texas Senate just completed their redistricting yesterday. I have not had a chance to review it yet, but you can bet that some of the democrat gerrymandered districts will disappear now. I certainly hope that is the case for my US Representative…Queen Sheila…I hope we’re finally rid of her…

Shouldn’t the GOP in Congress be investigating this to see just how effective border security is right now ten years after 9/11?

Shouldn’t they be talking about the “jobs Americans won’t do” when unemployment is so high and so many people are hurting? Does the GOP think that pointing out that illegals taking jobs that Americans could be doing is a bad election strategy?

Security & jobs- right now vital interests to the good of America, and shortly a key election campaign issue. Sometimes you have to wonder if the GOP leadership is more concerned about protecting America & winning the next election…or holding onto that “Stupid Party” nickname.

They are chasing a pipe dream. Seriously.

This next election will be about how much money the PEOPLE have to spend, NOT the candidates!

Plus more and more idiot liberals are fleeing their socialist paradises and infesting red states.
Don’t let your guard down Texas. Take it from a guy stuck in CA.

Anytime I come in contact with a blue state transplant. I make a point of telling them ever so sweetly,
“the Democrats ruined your state so pleeeease don’t ruin ours by voting Democrat,OK? … welcome to the great state of TEXAS.”
