1. What's that ass doiing on my husband's truck

It;s even the same color:rofl:

[atreides1]

2. Enough Texans like him

How else did he get reelected?

[TexasProgresive]

3. How did BabyB*sh get "elected" 4 times? Hunh? n/t

[SoCalDem]

4. Three reasons.

1) lazy, low-information voters
2) extreme GOTV by the republicans
3) "clever" vote counting

7. i go with clever vote count. i thought bill white was doing much better than results

remember, .... 2004 election, machines thru out were flippin kerry votes to bush and frustrated voters where giving up

9. There's a fourth reason.

24/7 hate radio. Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, et al. are all found on the radio dial rather easily across the rural country. You can probably find as many radio stations broadcasting right-wing propaganda commentary as you would if you were searching for country music stations in the South.

15. Yep..that's a given

Super-Numero-Uno :grr:

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

23. ...and don't forget, Tom DeLay's redistricting schemes! n/t

[emulatorloo]

10. Because Republicans there will not vote for a Democrat

[Ilsa]

20. Kinky Friedman split off votes. Perry didn't get a majority of the votes.

And our governors election was not held in a presidential election year which might have gotten more democrats out to the polls.

[LanternWaste]

14. A lot of my friends have posted that very picture...

A lot of my friends have posted that very picture on Facebook. And a lot more laughed about it-- even a large handful of GOP faithfuls (we're all Texas guys and gals...).

I think Perry is beginning to be seen as an embarrassment by the establishment.

21. Love it love it love it!

22. They must like him. They keep electing him. Then, they turn around and complain about him!

It makes no sense.

Randi spent several days on this:

1. Only 38% of the Texas electorate vote!
2. Only 18% of eligible women voters participate in elections. And meanwhile, Perry has attacked reproductive rights in every form.

I maintain this belief that if people don't get out and vote, they have no one to blame but themselves. I'm not saying this as some kind of elitist. I'm saying this because my parents and grandparents and great grandparents were active in trying to extend voting rights for themselves as black Americans. Our anger should drive us to the polls and keep us there until we vote. This is our right as citizens and should not be taken for granted or pissed away.
