goliano, as a Texan, I sit here in a state where the economy is booming still, while other stats are supposedly in recession, with thousands of people every day moving here from other states and countries. Now I am no fan of Bush, but he did nothing to hurt this state, and if you knew anything of Texas politics you would understand that the Gouvernorship of Texas is little more than a beauty contest, with the majority of power lying with the state house and senate. So, what exactly DID Bush do to Texas?
