Rove's from texas too? I guess that makes sense, since he was with bush when he was the governor of tx. I don't want to "mess with texas," but why are all these inexorably fascist cynical politicans from TX? bush, rove, LBJ. Cheney's from wyoming, which has always raised my eyebrows. Unless there's actually been good presidents from tx, why not just say that no one from texas can be president anymore, kind of like how no one born outside the u.s. can run? Doesn't texas want to secede and be its own country anyway? That all probably sounded bigoted, and I don't want to bash the south; a lot of smart, benevolent civic-minded presidents have come from the south in general. i realize I probably crossed a sensitive threshold with this post, so most rejoinders to my comments might be justified, I'm just sickened by the bush white house to the point that I forget myself.
