King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king.
Dennis: [interrupting] Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
King Arthur: Shut up!
Dennis: You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you.
King Arthur: Shut up! I order you to shut up!
Dennis: If I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away.

Texas Governor Rick Perry is a man of faith. If you didn't know it before, you heard all about it last weekend when he appeared at "The Response," a prayer and fasting service at Reliant Stadium where 30,000 Christian believers came to hear him speak.
It was there that Perry, the state's longest-serving governor, told the crowd that, “loving and personal God desires not a show of religion but a deep connection with our innermost being. … His agenda is not a political agenda. His agenda is a salvation agenda.” God, he reminded them, is wise enough not to be affiliated with any political party.
He read from scripture, reminded the flock that we seem to have forsaken God and asked Him to impart His wisdom on President Obama and the commander-in-chief's family.
Well, after months of teases and calls from party faithfuls asking him to toss his 10-gallon hat into the ring, Perry is slated to officially announce his White House run on Saturday, entering the race with an already established fundraising network, a pro-business record of strong job creation in Texas and, of course, the power of prayer -- thanks to his shored up Evangelical bona fides.
But with some pundits saying his call to answer our historic economic problems with faith rather than reason is a dangerous proposition, and others questioning whether he is crossing the line of separating church and state, will Perry's religious credentials help or hurt him?

Hey voice_matters, LOLuMad, bro? Why so butthurt?
.......... and when you think about it, actually practicing what you preach would cause you to avoid trampling the Rights of others .... especially your Constituents.
Won't get my vote !
I'm just sayin ...
You people are so funny. Good thing they took Evolution out of science and by the way it's not Science it's a Theroy and that's why Creationism was brought back in to balance it out.
You even state that Texas has had the most job growth....guess why fool....it's because he cut CORPORATE TAXES. And guess what again.....CORPORATIONS HAVE A RIGHT TO MAKE A PROFIT FOOL THAT'S WHY THEY ARE IN BUSINESS. THIS IS NOT A COMMUNIST COUNTRY (YET) AND IT'S CALLED MAKING A PROFIT SO YOU CAN THEN INVEST THAT MONEY BACK IN THE BUSINESS AND CREATE MORE JOBS AND MORE PRODUCTS.
All Governors that have their Governors mansions remodeled moved in to Nice Diggs as their other one is remodeled. It's cheaper than constantly renting a big hotel ballroom for all the meetings and get togethers a Governor does on a daily basis and normally uses their home. Our Governor just demanded a new home be built behind the existing Governor Mansion so they could live in it as the Mansion was in constant social use and it was wearing on the family. So the State just built them a Mansion right behind the other.
D...

Do you Know where every single town in Texas is? I Bet not and Governors are people and most don't know where every single village is and every single inlet until they are going to visit there or something happens. There are just too many places to learn them all. I live on an Island in the Middle of the Pacific and very involved in this community and also my job requires being all over the Island and yet I still find small communities all the time that are named something I wasn't aware of and before they were just part of the whole.
Gosh we have a President now that is so clueless he doesn't even know where his office is he thinks it out by the ninth hole.
You people are so funny. Thank God you have the Governor you have or you could be more like Detroit. Or Houston back in the 80's when it was a ghost town.
Educations isn't about money it's about good teaching. It's already proven you can keep throwing money at education and it doesn't produce any better results. Thank Goodness Texas got off their duff and corrected the Text books instead and instead of teaching the revisionist history kids have been learning they will be light years ahead learning real history.
Government already screwed up education starting in the 1930's and the school text books have finally gotten some stones and are correcting what should have been there all along. Just because you learned the wrong way just shows you are clueless to the truth and now want to blame it on Conservatives. We've taken your crappy education for the last 80 years now it's our time to finally correct it and teach real historical facts from actual historical documents.
Arkansas governors governor probably came from a modular home in the first place and so do most of the voters attending anything at the mansion so to compare class with no class you aren't eve...

Arkansas needed to do a massive renovations after Clinton just to get rid of all of blue dresses and the flees hanging around that place.
Here this is what Arkansas governor mansion is like.
With Rick Perry as President and Michelle Bachmann for VP wow what a winning ticket and hope for this nation that would be.....besides taking over the Senate and kicking Reid to the Curb.
I think I'd like Romney/Bachmann.
Wouldn't it be great to also do what Perry's State did of having real history corrected in the textbooks not the revisionist garbage that's been taught for the last 70 years. Man what a country with the two of them we could be.
America the Atheist...go start a new nation....this one is a Christian one if you don't like it.
lol at bachman for vp, that's worse than palin as vp.
"I'm too busy praying! Maybe a mental action will out trump that of a physical!"
