My God, you are an idiot.

It's kind of a chicken and egg problem, but at least some of the movement to Texas is coming across it's southern border, and isn't specifically conditioned on there being available jobs. Another part of the immigration is moving there (with money) for warmer weather.

Once you have more people, you have more demand (immediately for housing), thus you have more jobs. I think they both feedback on each other.

Ultimately it is certainly true that if people are moving there and not finding jobs they are going to leave again.

Here's what I find for Bachmann. I don't see anything, but maybe I'm missing it.

There are a few stories for Romney. Sparked primarily by the Politico I guess.

One for Perry.

Not a whole lot of there there, but it isn't nothing.

I'll give you this though, which is Obama reacting to all of the GOP candidates refusing to compromise.

What is the job story in TX? Unemployment in TX is higher than in NY and MA, among others.

My real focus was in my conclusion - is this presidential behavior? It's not. It's a bunch of bullshit tea party rhetoric and what the Republican primary process is all about.

It's pretty clear politico is shilling for Romney at this point. It's kind of fun to watch, but saddens me, because I've considered politico to date the best of the conservative sites at keeping their journalism and editorial content somewhat distinct (even if they clearly choose what to cover for editorial purposes).

I did it with Bachmann and found that she has been attacking Obama a lot.

But reading carefully -- and really, that was a drag -- I see that Obama put out a statement reacting to her announcement that she was running -- six weeks ago. The announcement disagreed with her on policy. Is that what you're talking about?

You are not good at google. This was on the first page: http://www.nationalreview.com/primar...katrina-trinko

You can try it with the others.

Not worked up at all. You are the one that went back to dissect prior days' posts. How does it feel to be trolled for once, troll?

Dude, just pointing out your ongoing reading deficits - not hard in this case. As to trolling, man, you've got to stop quoting hank, who no longer even rises to the level fo the bad joke himself. He's trying to get out from under the troll label himself, and it's not working.

On a more entertaining note, it's always good to read stories of Christian Redemption. What do you think it was about the 10th visit that made the scales fall from his eyes?

You know, we need some good fall from grace stories, too. I think attention whore Christine O'Donnell needs to go Dan Savage in a very public way.

Is responding to your own posts any different that responding to the others here?

The next few months are fun. We get to point out what fools these people are, and the more we point it out the better they do. Then, you guys select your next Palin.

I trust you're on board with the seccessionist governor's characterization of and threats against Bernake? Presidential behavior, right?

Perry's dumb, no doubt. But that doesn't mean he'd be any less effective in DC than our current smart President. (In the land of the blind, the one man... etc.)

Tenacity and street smarts go a long way in the practical, some would say "real" world of arm-twisting, back room dealing politics. Perry seems to have good instincts so far. He's even managed to get away with that ridiculous pray-in with limited fallout.

As a citizen, I take issue with Obama responding to Bachmann. It is unpresidential. The woman is a joke, a circus clown. She is not to be taken seriously. She should be dismissed as a temporarily relevant media-created confection.

Did you see this:

Piers Morgan is already making light of former Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell walking out on a "Piers Morgan Tonight" interview after the host asked her for her views on gay marriage on Wednesday.

"Do you think Christine O'Donnell is going to put a witch's curse on me now?" Morgan Tweeted on Wednesday night after O'Donnell walked out of a satellite, pre-recorded interview for his CNN talk show, his Tweet a reference to her 2010 admission she "dabbled" in witchcraft.
