But as soon as the mansion's paint is dry, the secession is back on the table.

what a cock.

If you were from Texas you would have figured out how to post that picture the first time around.

Yeah, pretty sure that isn't the way those funds were intended. But please GOP, brag about spending your stimulus money this way. I can see voters throwing up their hands in disgust and walking away.

As much of a bag of wind as The Hair is, the "secession" thing was never something he actually said.

SchlingFocker: As much of a bag of wind as The Hair is, the "secession" thing was never something he actually said.

Yeah, he just went out there and did one of those "some people are even talking about secession if the federal government doesn't get off our backs..." sort of things, then gave a little wink and a nod and acted indignant when any of those evil liberal media types suggested he said anything supportive of it.


The governor has been living in a three-story, limestone home with a heated pool, an outdoor cabana and a guest house.

The state is paying some $9,900-a-month in rent while the Governor's Mansion undergoes renovations, records show.

wtf?

I've heard from... reliable-ish sources* that Lance Armstrong is gonna run for Governor. Can anyone confirm whether or not this is true?

/*reliable-ish sources = anonymous internet people
//no, not anonymous
///they'd come up with something better

what a fool.

does anyone here, any Texans, have anything good to say about this?

for the record, I'm a Texan, so rail me for that or STFU.

Hey submittard, the mansion belongs to the state. It is not the property of Rick Perry. But you knew that already, didn't you? If it wasn't for libtards burning it down, this wouldn't even be an issue. Leave it to libtards to destroy something, and then criticize when repairs are made to what they have destroyed. You libtards who are whining are pathetic. Go get farked with a weed whacker.

/Libtards!

SchlingFocker: As much of a bag of wind as The Hair is, the "secession" thing was never something he actually said.

The implication was obvious.

They've got a TV ad campaign to raise donations too. The spokespeople are all multi-millionaires.

The System Works.

Wow, that's typical.

"Fark you, I won't accept this stimulus money to help the unemployed in my state and help create jo----- oh, my mansion needs paint. Hey, give me that stimulus money! My 'crib' needs 'bling', haha."

/steers and queers

People get the politicians they deserve.

TennesseeTuxedo: People get the politicians they deserve.

You must have a low opinion of humanity.

To be fair, he didn't approve it, the legislature did, and the mansion isn't 'his'. Also, it did get burned down awhile back, it is not some on-a-whim upgrade.

But did anyone actually expect stimulus money to go to places other than government pet projects and lobbying interests?

This guy is so stupid he could be a liberal!

Disapproves.

There's no way any state government is going to just leave Federal money lying on the ground. It isn't going to happen, and I don't care what they say, or what dodges they pull to make it look like they aren't doing it.
Why even bother with the lip service, is what I want to know. We all know they are going to take the money in the end - why pretend?

Here's the thing. When a bunch of people with Rs after their names who sit in the legislature decide that the stimulus money they didn't want to give directly or indirectly to taxpayer benefits instead choose to use it to fix the governor's mansion, that just might be the problem.

Not that the mansion does or does not belong to the governor.

"Hi Texas, here's a brazillion dollars to get effective public transport, job creation incentives, infrastructure repair, or anything else you might need to spend it on to make sure people get and retain jobs."

RTFA - it was torched by arsonists. It's not like he's putting in a patio and a water slide.

That said, stupid use of federal funds. But what the fark else is new?

You don't like it? Tell your libtard buddies to stop burning down government buildings. You look stupid when you whine about them getting repaired later.

Start with that. The only people I have seen calling Obama a "secret Muslin" here on fark have been you left wing whack-a-doodles. It's your favorite strawman. When you start your conversation with that, it is a good indicator of where your mind is already set. Oh, I also see you threw in other strawmen such as "FARK THE POOR".

/You were labeled as stupid for a good reason.

GAT_00: Yeah, pretty sure that isn't the way those funds were intended.

Why? It's providing jobs.

Spanky_McFarksalot: GAT_00: Yeah, pretty sure that isn't the way those funds were intended.

Jobs that wouldn't have been necessary if the libtards hadn't burned down the building in the first place. The hypocrisy in this little thread is astounding.

That's because the 62% of Republicans who actually believe that he is a secret Muslim (Hi Mom!) don't know how to use a computer.

Really, a strawman.

So, I assume if I link you to any one of the many threads on Free Republic where conservatives are, in fact, claiming he's a Muslim, or Conservapedia's entry on him where they claim the same thing, you will admit that this is not, in fact, a strawman and print a full retraction of your "stupid" statement?

I'm betting not, but for starters here's Schafly's lunatic article about Obama's Islamic heritage: Here.

Since this was apparently why I was labeled stupid (for using this as a strawman) and it is demonstrably not a strawman, I expect a rapid and immediate retraction of your statement with a full mea culpa (party of personal responsibility and all).

Instead I'm fairly confident I will get humming and hawing, backpedaling, moving the goal posts, etc.

I just got around to seeing Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay, and I learned a new word: "hypocriticizer." It seems appropriate here.

Of course he won't. Instead he'll limit it to just Fark posters. And once you find a Fark poster that said it, he'll say they had to be wearing green, or waving an American flag, or something while they said it.

They move the goalposts. That's what they do.
