Texans are stupid.

Texas has the second most corrupt politics of any state (second to Louisiana).

Texans make it a point of personal pride to be ignorant and make decisions based on some kind of alleged innate homespun wisdom.

The way I could tell the native white people vs snowbirds when I lived there (south of San Antonio) was that the white people had rotting teeth and couldn’t get a telephone.

I lived next door to a guy who had 3 cars sitting on their pans and 4 refrigerators in the yard.  The beer can pyramid got to be 5 feet tall before he sent his kids out to smash them up for cash.  He had plastic over his hail-damaged roof held down by old tires.  He moved his license plate sticker from vehicle to vehicle as he jerry-rigged them to run.  Never lacked a cigarette or a beer, though.

I moved out of Texas a few weeks after the first concealed-weapon shooting happened in downtown Dallas a few blocks from where I worked.  There was a traffic dispute that started with two pickup trucks brushing side view mirrors and ended with a dead man on a city street.

Fuck Texas.  They deserve Perry, the TeaBagger, or Kay Baily H. They’re all pieces of shit.

I don’t really see how this was a loss for the Tea Party, it almost looks like much of the Tea Partiers most likely cast their vote for Perry considering he started sounding just as radical as them. This is a disturbing precedent, candidates will no doubt start lifting Tea Party slogans to get votes.
