Last time Texas was far from the fighting and didn't have a whole lot of people to contribute. This time the table has turned.

Yep, and the last time it was tried a fascist president started a war over it.
Really? Name something you think would be out of federal reach.
And unless you live there, why do you care? Why do we insist on Californians living exactly like Texans and vice versa? Are you happy that the red states dragged the blue states into Iraq?
And the Dems are? Them Dems would rather wipe their ass with The Constitution. By the way if you were so smart and a great defender of The Constitution you'd be capitalizing it correctly.

Well, the feds don't pay for every road so why do they get to dictate drinking age on all the roads in the state??
You haven't bought a gun lately have you? I haven't had a state check for purchasing a gun since I began buying them in 1999. There is a federal check that is done through the FBI system, when you fill out the 4473 form and the store clerk calls it in. No State official is doing any work. IF you have a state issued concealed weapons permit, in most states that bypasses the federal background check.
The State can just pull the same BS the Fed pulls. Imminant Domain. PAck up shop and get your shit out in 30 days our it's forfiet.
Oh that's exactly what it is. I have family and friends that are up in arms about Obama's spending but when they're confronted with GWB's recent budgets the crickets come out.
Just playing politics. If John McCain had won and enacted a carbon copy of Obama's policies there would be no uproar from this Governor. He wants attention for a 2012 campaign attempt.
lolololololololol
revisionist history much?
name a company obama has taken over
(helpful hint: they were all taken over by bush lulz)
Anything not reasonably related to the funds being disbursed. Like, the federal government couldn't require a state to ban abortion in order to get transportation funding.

It's hilarious to see this same old tired worn out and disproved fallacy of an argument get invoked every time Pres. Obama chooses to apply certain policies similar to or same as those that Bush utilized, and the attack that's used against Pres. Obama's defenders in defense of Bush is hypocrisy.
They may be using those same/similar policies for completely different reasons, and considering how directly conflicting their ideologies are, it's a safe bet that most or all of their INTENT behind the use of similar/same policies are also in direct opposition to each other.
One Small Example Of Many: Bush kept asking for supplemental funding for the Mideast Wars to keep the wars going so that the corrupt profiteering he initiated there could keep on going unabated. Obama is asking for that same supplemental funding to get us the hell out so those funds that went directly into the pockets of Bush's robber baron buddies can be used to rebuild what Bush broke, among a host of other urgent needs that now face us at home.
How this OBVIOUS truth keeps getting in the way of and glaringly ignored by those defending Bush's despicable behavior during his rule is laughable.

Just got an AR15 about a month ago and MN required me to get a pistol permit issued by the local police dept and I was required to have a federal background check performed. But I believe from glancing over that example they were speaking about states requiring a federal background check. The court ruled the feds were overstepping their bounds to require this though every state still voluntarily adhered to the policy.
You are completely wrong.
He still would. Because Texans are more or less against large government. Perry has been using this same type of tactic against Kay Bailey Hutchinson since 2005. He tries to paint her as belonging to DC not Texas. He attacked her similarly with the TARP passage and her voting for it. This has everything to do with puffing up his chest toward Hutchinson, and really nothing to do with states rights. Hed be doing that same thing no matter who is President.
Also, its not 2012. Its the 2010 Texas Gubernatorial Race. Perry KNOWS he has not shot at anything at the national level. The State GOP is often at odds with him. He doesnt have much support amongst elected Republicans in Texas. The problem is, he has a lot of well connected cronies and money men. His GOP opponent is also Pro-Choice. Whoever wins the GOP primary is likely the winner of the Governors race.
GM, Chrysler.
He ousted the GM CEO. And is now telling them to file for bankruptcy.
And the Obama admin has continually threatened nationalization.
So what? That may be the best alternative. The cars they made for decades put them in this position.
