All states are corrupt. I

All states are corrupt. I agree and I underlined that fact a little better in my replies to comments.

And Texas is a great state with 25 million Americans residing within its borders. It also faces more issues regarding immigration.

Out of 25 million residents, there are millions upon millions of brilliant hard working people.

I am just struck by the blatant conduct of some of its politicians.

I certainly have problems with the school textbooks it publishes that are filled with lies and propaganda and are distributed to many other states.

But just a brief review of the governor's conduct over the last eight years or so would lead any sane person to conclude that there should be investigations followed by indictments.

Texas appears to just love imprisoning folks. http://www.star-telegram.com/2010/04/01/2084769/texas-department-of-crim...

The repubs down there was law and order, the end to unemployment insurance, the end to Medicare and Medicaid, the end to Social Security....I can go on and on and on.

Oh well, I admit there was wonderful aspects to Texas and wonderful people who come from Texas.

Is Texas corrupt? Yes. I

Is Texas corrupt? Yes. I think every state is corrupt. Texas is as big as some countries-- perhaps this is part of the problem. DeLay is a scumbag. You shouldn't stereotype Texans and imply that we're all country bumpkin nitwits and that we all support these creeps. Also, it is beyond me how Rick Perry is never outed. The wife is paid off to stay "married" to him.

I think you have something

In reply to Willie Nelson just got busted

I think you have something there Miguel. hahahaha

Willie has been caught with pot more times than I can remember. I have to look it up now.

How the hell does anyone benefit from this harrassment?

What you do of course is hire a couple of lawyers who have contributed much to the ruling class.

In reply to TEXAS JUSTICE

Willie Nelson just got busted for possession of Marijuana when his tour bus was searched at a border patrol checkpoint near Sierra Blanca Texas. No illegal immigrants were found on the bus however. Keeping our borders safe. In the 60s the 13th Floor Elevator's founder, Roky Erikson was sent to a mental institution for life for possession of 2 joints. He was later released after his brain was properly fried from electro-shock therapy and anti-psychotic drugs. Maybe Willie should contribute to some campaign funds down there.

In reply to Texas has its own liberal

dd...

I think that you have read enough of my posts to recognize a "hooker" when you read one! Having men assigned in Texas, I spent many days there. They were some of my best! My statement was a shot across the bow. Do I ernestly believe Texans are not the brightest star in the sky...That would be an understatement! All they would have to do is quit being evaluated. Sometimes, silence is golden. But you've heard the term -- ALL HAT AND NO CATTLE! The wealthiest and most successful Texans sold oil to smart Easterners from under the ground from which they used to crap on!

In reply to but are not Texans

Texas has its own liberal areas.

I might just be naive, but I have never read about so much OPEN graft. Louisianna and Mississippi are pretty bad too in that respect.

We have our sins in Minnesota for sure. But I have not even heard of whisper of discontent as far as Perry goes.

And as far as I'm concerned Delay should have been put in prison a long long time ago.

I do know this; if you are in a powerful position keep good files on every body else and when the peeps come sniffin around you, those files can come in handy.

Well what do you know. I always thought that Texas and Justice were a contradiction in terms.

Not to get into an argument

Not to get into an argument but Bill Moyers tells a story about when he was in college and he was awarded an internship with the Texas Legislature.

On his first day in that capacity he listened to speeches all day from the floor and he turned to the legislator he was assigned to and asked:

This is such vengeful and terrible stuff...how can they say things like this?

The legislature turned to him and said:

If you think these guys are bad you should hear their constituents.

ha!!!

What is is, and what is not is not.

People back Perry and Delay and many other felons for many reasons.

Sometimes I think it may be by code for straight out racism...or a number of evil intents...

But in a democracy, the voters choose.

And 320 million people have a number of different voices.

but are not Texans Americans? Right or wrong. Rigjht or wrong the voice of their people gave us DeLay. So shouldn't we be questioning the people?
