And the one about him having an affair, which wasn't on the list.

Oh, and I look at the stat of him presiding over the largest number of executions in the nation as a plus. They were all convicted murderers and to have received the death penalty were not just murderers but convicted of capital murder. I am proud that if you kill somebody in Texas they kill you right back (as Ron White says)!

I don't recall it being referenced. But, I knew right off the bat that it has quite a liberal swing to it.

Unfortunately, the pendullum swings both ways all the time...

Excellent article addressing Texas' Job Numbers, of which, Paul Krugman is trying to misrepresent.

Rick Perry and Texas Jobs Numbers

Full disclosure: I don't like Rick Perry for our next president. I have my reasons that aren't worth going into here. However, when I was watching the GOP debate and pro-Perry people started bringing up Rick Perry's job numbers as a cudgel against other candidates, I looked into the BLS data on Texas jobs. Having familiarized myself with the data, I started noticing claims on the Texas jobs data that started popping up that directly contradicted what I was seeing in the data. So I wanted to clear up a couple of these common misconceptions.

One can argue that Perry had very little to do with the job situation in Texas, but such a person should be probably prepare themselves for the consequences of that line of reasoning. If Rick Perry had nothing to do with creating jobs in Texas, than why does Obama have something to do with creating jobs anywhere?

I can just see it. This will headline National Inquirer...

Apparently, this isn't his first rodeo. In 2008 he put out a robocall stating that Hillary had covered up for Bill's rape of Juanita Broaddrick.

Although, that is kind of scary, because I'm not sure she didn't.

Watch out, Gov. Perry. They is comin' after your hide!

Obama had actually already planned on being in Iowa. Gov. Perry is the one that scheduled coming through Iowa while Obama is on his Darth Vader bus tour.
