Hey Texans, did you see the local news about Gov. Goodhair?

VOMIT.

1. Kill for Jesus!

Aaaaa-men!

[Bouncy Ball]

3. YAY!

Your Heavenly Father has called you to kill Eye-rack-ees and die for your country!

YAY!

(Isn't it just vomit worthy? Why do I have to live here?)

[gmoses]

2. more about the rally today?

besides the part about the Texas National Guard being Christian Soldiers for the Heavenly War God--which is pukable fare, I agree

[Bouncy Ball]

4. That's what it's about

It was on my local news and I caught Gov. Goodhair saying they are heeding the call of their Heavenly Father.

So this is a religious crusade?

[gmoses]

5. a deep psychology of Crusade

might explain the complete disregard in popular will for anything but conquest & conversion as legit motives "over there"

6. Maybe "Heavenly Father" is Dubya's new nickname.....

...or something.

Not really surprising. Slick Rick is just pandering to his core constituency.

I sure hope that Hutchinson runs against him. I wanna see the fur flyin'.......

7. God I hate Hutchinson.

AND Cornyn. Both total assholes of the nth degree.

[jandrok]

8. Yeah, but I like the idea of Hutch vs. Slick Rick

I'm no Hutchinson fan either, I just wanna see them go at it. Actually it will be interesting to see how the whole thing plays out. Hutchinson has been positioning herself as the voice of the "moderate" GOP. I want to see just how much clout the religious right really has here. This will be a good test case for other moderate Republicans across the country.

I suspect they will tear her limb from limb and feed on her entrails.

Still, it will be fun to watch.

9. Oh good, in that case it will be enjoyable.

And if she's a moderate, I'm a radical of the highest order.

10. how about a ramsey muniz write in?

11. Rick Perry knows he is Texas size toast in this next election

He has to pander. Shamelessly because he knows he is going to be total political toast in 2006.

Yep, this is Gods war. Fighting for Jesus Christ.

Onward Christian Soldiers!

12. Everyone thought there was no way

* could obtain another term. He did. The same goes for Goodhair. In Texas, the "crusade" message sells. It's very popular down at the Baptist church I haven't attended in months. I got tired of hearing about "another Jesus"--the warmongering, @$$kicking one.

Plus, my conscience would have dictated at some point that I report the pastor to the IRS for violating 501(c)3 regulations. Not that the IRS would do anything. I'm sure it's been "purged" just like the Pentagon.

The only part of Goodhair's agenda with which he might encounter difficulties is the school choice/voucher push he is trying to make. The school finance issue will be front and center during the legislative session which begins this month.

Even my aforementioned Baptist brethren are heavily tied in to the local public school district. The pastor's on the school board and the school superintendent is a leading layman. Many of the choir members and much of the congregration are employed by one of the seven school districts in the area. I understand that the Southern Baptist Convention is facing a split over this issue. Public schools are of the devil. That's what a significant faction of the SBC now believes.

13. I'm a little curious...

This was the LARGEST deployment to Iraq. Where in the hell was Bush? I mean...couldn't he have taken five minutes from vacation in Crawford to see these soilders off? He is such an asshole, and so is Rick SCARY!
