The Democrat party’s favorite tactic is demagoguery. The Clintons raised it to a high art. A raw form of it is mudslinging. Obama has messed things up so badly that he cannot stand on his record, so all he has left is the “they’re even worse than I am” ploy. Throwing mudballs takes that shine right off your enemies (yes, Obama has called us enemies, not opponents).
His $859 billion economic stimulus program was a miserable failure, solid majorities of the public now demand repeal of Obamacare, unemployment remains above 9 percent, his Gallup approval rating is in the tank at 39 percent, and many economists say there's a one-in-three chance of a double-dip recession. In other words, Obama can't run on his own record, so he believes he has to run down everybody else's record to have a chance at a second term. (Washington Examiner)Which would you rather have? A Rick Perry Texas McJob, or an Obamanomics No Job? Crappy job beats no job every time in my book. BTW, go here for a fact-based analysis of the Texas job machine that blows the libtard propaganda out of the water.
We had more leftwing propaganda spillage here yesterday, so here are a few more links that shine the light of truth and expose the liberal lies. A favorite trick to to pick a little downturn in an overall upward trending line and say , "SEE! They Lost Jobs There!" It's entertaining to watch the gyrations lefties go through to "prove" their point. Fact is, blue states are bleeding out people, and most are choosing to move to Texas, where the jobs are. The people have voted, with their feet.

Don't Mess with the Texas Economy
On a related note, Chuck DeVore has written a tight defense of Perry’s Trans-Texas Corridor project
I bring this up not so much to defend Governor Perry, but because DeVore raised some interesting privatization issues as well as shedding light on how changes outside of the US will shift a lot of port traffic from California to Texas.
