Rick "the Big Spender" Perry's rental home costs Texas taxpayers between $10K and $20K per month, while his security costs $400K and $600K PER MONTH!!!

Very interesting for a guy who chides Washington officials for their outrageous pork expenditures and misleading taxpayers.  Perry also says he wants a part time Congress at half the current salaries.

“Pork barrel spending, where senators, they scratch one another’s backs, is not federalism,” he said. “That’s about fleecing the American public.”  --- Rick Perry

An American Economic Tragedy...

2012 U.S. Politics:

The Republican Party Will Try to Keep Out the Young Liberal Vote.... of course!

Is the GOP anti-youth?  You betcha!

Young first time voters will have a heck of a time getting their Voter Registration Cards, if the GOP has anything to say about it.   Many young voters are drawn to candidate Ron Paul because of his often anti-establishment proposals, plans and platform.  The Republican Party can't let that happen, so it will do anything it can to prevent liberal youth from voting.

Rick Perry keeps on saying that he's done great miracles for Texas employers and workers, so why do companies out-of-state do so much water development business in Texas???

pstern 16:11 on 26 December 2011 It's a simple answer, really.  Rick "King of the Liars" Perry is lying again.  What a surprise!

JUST A QUICK QUESTION: Why Exactly Are Texas Taxpayers Footing the Tab for the Security Detail of GOP Presidential Candidate Rick Perry?

pstern 19:27 on 25 December 2011   Aren't Texans already paying too much for one of the most lackluster governors ever in the state of Texas? Texans are being forced to pay $10,000 per month for Perry's lakefront home rental because several years ago there was a mysterious fire at the Governor's Mansion.  Let him live in an apartment like most Texans do. Perry thinks D.C. lawmakers are being paid too much, so why doesn't he live in a cheaper doublewide and save the taxpayers some money?

So, what's the real dope on construction of the XL pipeline and why does Rick Perry want it so badly?

Is the pipeline a plus for all of us or is it just another scam?

Okay, we know that Texas Governor and GOP Presidential Candidate Rick Perry foams at the mouth when he speaks about the XL pipeline and he is demanding that President Barack Obama approve the project ASAP.

RIP-OFF:   U.S. Congressional Pensions; Perry's Pension Double-Dipping; Health Benefits and Retirement Pensions for 'Part-time' Texas Legislators

Yi-Ha!  Y'all!!!

I have been writing for the past 11 years, trying to inform the public and getting some of these ridiculous benefits, pensions and procedures changed. Obviously, a lot of people who could do something about these issues are not interested in changing them.

Rick Perry has mush for brains...

peter stern 21:54 on 20 December 2011 Honestly, the Perry dude can't remember squat. The Houston Chronicle outlines a story whereby in Iowa Perry was discussing his flat tax plan and gave out the wrong information. Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, who for some inexplicable reason supports Perry's campaign for President, had to correct Perry. Rick Perry is running for president as the man with a plan: A plan to lower your taxes, cut government spending and create new jobs. But Perry proved once again today that he’s not so sure what’s in his plan. As Fox News reported on its politics blog, Perry needed a little help from a friend — the wonky Louisiana governor, Bobby Jindal — when the Texan misstated a key provision of his optional flat-tax plan.

Liar Rick Perry's Pants are On Fire --- again!

17:23 on 20 December 2011 Virtually everything that Texas Governor Rick Perry spews out of his mouth is a blatant lie.

Another U.S. Drone 'bites the dust'

peter stern 08:24 on 13 December 2011 It must be getting awfully crowded up in the sky these days. Drones are falling out of the sky like raindrops.

MORE TEXAS POLITICS...

Remember when the predominately GOP Texas Legislature approved the infamous redistricting map(s) and Democrats and their supporters filed a case in Federal District Court...

Merry Christmas!!!

Texans continue to get ‘scrooged’ at the State and Local levels...

peter stern 05:08 on 9 December 2011 It will continue to get much worse economically and socially for Texas taxpayers and citizens all across the state.

U.S. Congress QUIETLY Passes Horse Slaughter for Human Consumption Bill... Horses head for the hills!!!

Say "Nay!" to Horse Slaughtering... Part II

What’s new at the dinner table: “Pass the horse, please.”

by Peter Stern

The U.S. Congress just QUIETLY approved the sale of horsemeat for human consumption, thus opening the doors for the increased slaughter of horses to sell horse meat here and abroad.

There are big bucks in the selling of horse flesh and big money also drove Congress to approve the measure, finally even after years of anti-slaughter lobbyists and horse protection sentiment prevented various similar bills during the past decade from being approved.
