Or that Crispy Creme looking Christi man.. Quoting: ceawaves Yes, they did vote for Obama and are his stronghold. It's hard to have sympathy when people do that. THe kids are suffering for what their parents did, too. I don't think Obama is capable of managing anything. It's going to be up to the state governors. One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one. Oh yeah, like you'd understand anyway.

Most evangelicals and self described hardcore conservatives are obsessed with homosexuality, and sexuality in general. Get the fuck over it. Most Americans, especially outside of the south, don't care and have a live and let live attitude. *You basically run and hide in small towns, rural areas, and so-on, and are afraid of big, bad cities.

Stop running away from the world, being pathologically anti-social, waiting for the 'Rapture' and 'End Times'....and LIVE. The 'Southern Strategy' that 'Conservatives' and Republicans have used successfully since the 70s is now failing; it's like a broken business model. You can not any longer rely only on southern evangelical folks to win an election. Republicans and conservatives need a new business model that must include a wide range of people and regions other than the south. The U.S.A. is a BIG country. *OUR MILITARY IS TOO FUCKING EXPENSIVE....we have too many commitments around the world. And out alliances are often bullshit, with the U.S. servicemen and women doing the heavy lifting. U.S. Armed Forces are now also primarily the muscle for too big to fail multinational corporations. And Israel...WTF is up with this 'Relationship'? It's frankly toxic, IMHO, but say this in the U.S. and you'll be vilified and shot down as being 'Racist' and 'Antisemitic'. But mainstream conservatives in the U.S. especially these retarded evangelical Christians down south are obsessed with Israel and the end of the fucking world. The whole thing is FUBAR. I'm a real conservative BTW; not a phony like I've witnessed take over the U.S. conservative movement over the past 30 odd years. |

[link to www.statesman.com] Updated: 8:39 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2012 | Posted: 8:38 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2012 Texas State tax collections soar, setting up chance for record budget surplus By Kate Alexander Texas could be heading toward a record state budget surplus just two years after facing a historic deficit. Texas Comptroller Susan Combs reported Wednesday that total tax collections for the 2012 budget year, which ended Aug. 31, were $3.7 billion higher than had been estimated in December. That total amounts to 13 percent more than the $40.3 billion in tax revenue that Combs had projected would come in during the first half of the state's two-year budget cycle and was even higher than the estimates lawmakers used to write the 2012-13 budget in May. Soaring oil and gas production in West Texas and the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas are major drivers of the better-than-expected revenue collections. The production taxes for oil and natural gas together came in about $1 billion, or 39 percent, higher than projected, and the industry also contributed heavily to strong sales tax collections, which were up 12.6 percent from the previous year. The franchise tax, which is paid by businesses, also exceeded expectations by more than $500 million. |
