I’m from Texas, voted for Bush (as if it would have made a difference); if Libertarian Browne had a chance I would have voted for him.
Now I see Rod Paige (currently Superintendent of Houston ISD) has been tagged to be Secretary of Education. This guy is an idiot. I think GWB has gone too far with this ‘inclusion’ shit.
George, you need to pick the best man for the job, and it is NOT Rod Paige. How about that guy from ‘Stand and Deliver’. That’s the kind of person we need!
If you are at all angry about our shadow Christian-Corporate puppet dictatorship, your only avenue is to support and vote for other candidates to the detriment of the GOP. Take a simple oath - “as long as I am alive I will never ever ever vote for a Republican” - and take it from there. If everyone did that, problem solved.
2002 / 2004 or bust.
The Houston Chronicle has praised the selection of Paige as Education Secretary. Maybe because it will get him out of town? Doubtful, this rag has always been a toady of the Houston ‘Establishment’.
Hoping not to get too far off topic, but did’ja hear that the City of Houston had to siphon off about 9 million from pension funds, etc., to make the city payroll for Police/Fire staff this month? What kind of fucked up management is that? Lee Brown sucks, too.
RTA, I can see where you got “Christian”, and I can see where you got “Corporate”, but where did you get “shadow”? (“What? The country is run by Christians? I never knew! Must be a huge cover-up!”)
God Damn, I’ve never seen more liberals pee their pants than in the last few weeks. What the fuck is wrong with you people? You’re acting like we just elected Dracula. Bush may not be a bright light, but get over it, OK?
It isn’t so much that he’s an idiot. I think we’ve accepted that. But the fact that he’s making idiotic choices for our future that is pissing people off. His choice for Secretaries of Education and Interior are pretty damn scary.
