Governor 39% Can Run Again, and Texas Democrats will win in 2010
Governor 39%, Rick Perry
April 17, 2008
Given the current State of the State after five years of absolute and failed Republican rule, there's no reason to think Governor Perry's record would earn him more than the 39% he received in 2006.
Under Perry's Regime, our local children's schools are facing a budget crisis due to unfunded state mandates and a lack of state resources, scandals have racked the Texas Youth Commission, soaring college tuitions have amounted to a middle class tax increase that's pricing many out of college, over a billion dollars in highway funds were "lost" while toll roads are being outsourced to foreign corporations, and over a million Texas kids have no health insurance.
That's the record of Rick Perry and the Republican politicians who masquerade as our leaders while serving the interests of special interest contributors and cronies. Texas Democrats look forward to 2010.
