WHY NOT TEXAS?
President Obama’s press secretary on the middle-class jobs tour: Why visit Texas? Why not?White House Press Secretary Jay Carney says the president is traveling to Texas tomorrow because while there’s lots of gridlock and partisan infighting in Washington, the Lone Star State is home to the kind of economic growth Obama wants to highlight. President Obama will tour a high-tech high school and a chip-machine manufacturer near Austin on Thursday. So, why Texas, where Rick Perry credits Republicans for the state’s economic success? MR. CARNEY: Well, why not Texas? Austin is a hub of innovation and technology. It’s also a hub of education. And the President, as you know, will have a series of events tomorrow that reflect these three areas that he’s talked about since the State of the Union — the need to make sure that we have these kinds of jobs of the future here in the United States, the need to ensure that our workers have the skills they need to fill those jobs, and the necessity that those jobs pay well enough to sustain a middle-class life. And Austin is a great place to go for that. Some words you’re likely to hear tomorrow in Texas: middle class, economic opportunity, education, jobs. Some words you won’t hear: Battleground Texas, an effort by several Obama campaign veterans to relocate in the state and begin a project aimed at turning reliably Republican Texas blue. Said Carney: “People sometimes in Washington see everything through an electoral lens are true, but I can guarantee you that is not what this is about.” |

I’ll tell you why not Texas, a55hole. Because our republic works & we’re not going to let your freaky little astroturf fellow travelers to it into some brok3-d1ck People’s Democratic Socialist third-world state.
This reveals the racist stupidity of the dems. Texas and California are demographic twins in terms of ethnicity. Both have large Hispanic populations. Texas has more blacks and fewer Asians than California. So the dems can’t understand why they loose in Texas. The idea that jobs, unemployment and freedom play a large role in deciding how rational people vote escapes them.
The people of CO thought the same thing… our state will never go blue… and look at them now.
Had they persecuted the CA slime that started moving into their state, treated them like dirt, not given them jobs or sold them homes, they might still be one of the good states to live in.
Libs from CA ruined their state, welcomed illegals, chased out business with taxes and whacko environmental laws. After they could not afford (or were afraid) to live there anymore, they moved to CO and began the same thing all over again.
You are next Texas. Don’t think it can happen? You are wrong! Between the illegals you welcome and the CA slime that has moved there, it is a matter of time before you are outnumbered unless you take action NOW!
