Liberal Bill White’s Mouth Misfires (Again)
Liberal Bill White’s Mouth Misfires (Again)
RPT Update 04/23/10
Earlier this month, Democratic nominee for governor, liberal Bill White, accused Gov. Perry and the Texas Republican leadership of engaging in “Soviet-style” budget management, when they announced efforts to trim the state’s budget across the board. Coming from the nominee of a party that is spending the country toward bankruptcy and is increasingly insinuating itself into every single facet of American life, that was a bit rich.
Well, earlier this week, trial lawyer Bill White took a shot at Gov. Perry’s resume. This, coming from the nominee of a party that’s led by the president with one of the thinnest resumes in American political history, is, again, a bit rich.
But it’s even worse than that. By taking a swipe at Gov. Perry’s career, Bill White managed to overlook the fact that Gov. Perry’s connections to Texas life are deep and strong. Gov. Perry has worked on a ranch, and he spent five years flying C-130s for the United States Air Force. Gov. Perry has spent decades trying to keep Texas ‘ government small and Texas ‘ families and businesses thriving, while Democrats have done everything they could to expand government power.
We’re sure that Bill White didn’t intend to insult ranchers or military veterans. John Kerry didn’t mean to insult the military either. And neither did Dick Durbin. Liberal Democrats never intend to insult the military. They just keep doing it over and over again, year by year.
The Pelosi Democrat leadership didn’t mean to call opponents of Obamacare “un-American,” either. They just…you know…did. In print.
If Bill White wants to talk resumes, then he should start answering questions about why he still won’t disclose his tax returns. Or why the city he left behind, Houston , is in such financial troubles. Or he could answer for the company he led, BJ Services, and why it’s under Congressional investigation.
The one thing Both Ways Bill evidently doesn’t want to talk about are the big issues of the day. Issues like cap and trade and Obamacare, which he still hasn’t given Texans a straight answer on. It’s not hard to figure out why. According to Rasmussen, while 67% of Texans support repealing Obamacare, 82% of Texas Democrats don’t. Texas Democrats are fine with Washington mandates that force individuals to buy insurance, and that threaten to bankrupt Texas . The majority of Texas isn’t fine with that, and wants Obamacare repealed. Bill White and the Democrats are out of touch with Texas on Obamacare. And a whole lot more.
That must be why liberal Bill White is taking cheap – and factually deficient – shots at Gov. Perry’s resume.
