There is a reason we Texans named Pasadena, Texas as Stinkadena and that's because of the lack of air pollution controls. Rick Perry has been fighting with EPA Region 6 because he believes TCEQ and its flex permits offer equivalent environmental protection. Now TCEQ will take money earmarked for education to help Vallero, Exxon Mobil, and Conoco-Phillips pay for the BACT (best available control technology) that they already paid for in other states out of their own profits.

That's Rick Perry. I got nothing else to offer. I hate the bastard and many of us in Texas are tired of his BS. When the teatards talk about Rick, do a google search of Texas Republicans who support him. Answer: It's only a short list of PACs he sucks on for their money tit.

Your not seeing Kay Bailey Hutchinson, Ted Poe, John Coryn or any other elected State leadership lining up to support Rick. Rick is a gaping asshole and they know it.

I'm not a socialist, but after the last few years of oil company antics I'm starting to reconsider.

Now see? This just breaks my heart. When I was a child in school, the playground bully came right up to you and grabbed your collar as your trembling fingers handed over your lunch money. It was PERSONAL...you had a goddamn relationship, goddammit! Not like this faceless fucktards who hide behind rules and a legislative process. Pussies, all of them.

Good News. Valero is now drilling the grassy knoll. Take that, 50 years of Democrats.

Gov. Rick Perry's state has its priorites aligned with the T-Baggers. It's up to the rest of us to catch up.

Or not...
