WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama is messing with Texas, the senior senator from that state alleged.
Speaking to MSNBC on Friday, Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison acknowledged that Texas does depend heavily on taxpayer funds - a paradigm at odds with the state's rights braggadocio that frequently emanates from its capital in Austin. But still, Hutchison said, she felt that the Obama White House looked down, if not stigmatized, the Lone Star State.
"I see a bias in this administration against Texas yes, I do see it in this administration, absolutely. We didn't get the help in the wildfires that I think any other state would have gotten," said Hutchison. "I think if you look at the things that have not happened in Texas, I think it is pretty clear that there is a bias against Texas. Even in the border issues we are not getting the help we should have from the federal government to secure the 1,200-mile border we have with Mexico. So I do think that a lot of the rhetoric has rubbed the administration wrong, and we have had to fight hard for our fair share."
This acute distrust with the Obama administration is nothing new for prominent Texas Republicans. The Gov. Rick Perry, who is a rumored GOP presidential candidate, has hinted that the state would be better off seceding from the United States.
But is it detached from or belied by actually policy? In 2007, during the waning years of the Texan President George W. Bush's administration, the state received roughly 94 cents for every tax dollar it sent to the federal government. From 2007 through 2009, that number was only slightly less: 92 cents.

That line kind of jumps right out at ya, doesn't it?

so does this one ass wipe. They're still paying more than they receive. so you can stfu.
You really don't get the concept of context and metaphor do you?Apparently NEITHER...did you...Because WE would be treated with ANTI Reverend Wright Threads...BY YOU *IF* YOU were to remain consistantI don't know about you, but I've heard the tapes. The fact those exact words were not spoken constantly over 20 years does not change the SENTIMENT and SUBJECT of those 20 years of sermons.
So you listened to 20 years of sermons?
Liar.

Rev. Wright never yelled that for 20 years you lying sack of steaming shit. It was a few lines out of more than 20 years of sermons.
Wright joined the Marines during Vietnam. He was honored with three White House Commendations. He served the entire six years and ended his honorable service with an "Honorable Discharge". What the fuck have you ever done pisshead?
Who knows what set him off? The Rodney King beating? Women and children being fired hosed? Police setting dogs on grandmothers? All the kinds of things conservative have done over the years.
I know, maybe it was the "Tuskegee experiment", where the government let hundreds of black men infect their wives with syphilis over decades just to "see what would happen" EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD THE CURE. But pieces of shit, such as yourself, goes after this man who tried. He did more for the country in one week than you ever did in your entire pathetic, racist life. So what he did was bad, what "pond scum" such as yourself does, is worse. Enjoy your life moron. I'm sure those around you don't.
In rdeans world, people who preach hate against America are the patriots
Republicans preach hate against America all the time. You got Republican govs calling for secession. Republicans have put up more than 40 amendments to the Constitution since Obama took office. One Republican nominee for President wants an unconstitutional litmus test on Religion to be applied for anyone working in the government.
Republicans don't know anything about their leadership. In fact, they don't know much of any worth at all.
But still, you ignore how mistreated African Americans have been over hundreds of years. This current Republican Party is awful. Filled with crazy right wing wackos. Not something that can be denied.
