texas is about to elect a govenor. rick perry, current govenor running agains tony sanchez, rich as hell banker. in a sanchez campaign add he picks out three bad points about our current govenor including, "rick perry, career politician".

cracks my ass up. my question is this, is there any other profession where being a career whatever is considered a negative. i can just picture a mother giving advice to her daughter...."you can't marry him sweetie, he's a carrer doctor." ok, career criminal would be one but i'm talking about accepted professions.
 
well to some ....Porn Star?

can't you just see a 70 yr old Poll dancing grannie.....? Oh. I guess some people think thats a good thing? o.0;
 
damn, i'm gonna have a hell of a time getting that image out of my head.:D

It's actually pretty much the same as "politician", but I'm not real fond of career bureaucrats.
 
God, I am tired of the mean spirit in this election.

It's funny for Rick Perry to put an ad out that says "Shame on you for putting out an attack ad, Tony Sanchez" (That being an attack ad in itself) Then RIck Perry puts out an attack ad that says Sanchez was laundering money (Somebody else was laundering money at a bank Sanchez worked at, Sanchez was investigated and found to have comitted no wrong doing)
 
yeah, i'm tired of it too. no one ever seems to want to discuss any of the issues. just name calling and finger pointing and anything at all to keep from having to take a stand on something. that really surprises me about perry.

hiya yourself miss t. naughty thoughts? me? :D

harold, i hadn't thought about bureaucrats and i'm not sure but what they're worse than politicians. i don't normally have to deal with politicians but i have butted heads with a few beauracrats in my life.

Hello Spin,

the problem with Sanchez was that the "bank" in question was Tesoro Savings and Loan, and it was "owned" by Sanchez in the '80's. It was traced to drug money laundering of money that went to Panama's General Manuel Noriega (remember him?). The S&L folded and Sanchez, somehow, came out of it smelling like a rose, while tax payers picked up the tab.

It's also fun watching each of them trying to hang Enron on the other. They both have connections, but so do half the people in Texas.

Anyway, Perry and Sanchez are both guilty of slinging a bit of soggy earth, but that's definately nothing new in Texas. If Sanchez didn't have a hispanic last name and a few million of his own money, this wouldn't even be a close race. But that's what makes politics fun in Texas.... :cool:

Funny thing is........... in my opinion, saying, "he really hasn't done anything" ........ is about the best thing you can possibly say about a politician...........

What do you expect him to do? He's the Governor not the Lt. Govenor or the Railroad Commissioner. He less real power than almost any other Governor among the States.
 
Perry has been Lt. Governor and a slew of other jobs and hasn't really accomplished all that much.

Now that's an argument.

However I still prefer him: I'd just as soon see my Governor do more nothing as I generally prefer that approach to government. But that's just me.

Unfortunately, what I think of him for his insurance debacle.
