Republican Governor Rick Perry — on a tour of New York to steal business for Texas — thinks that Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo should debate him on which of their states is better for jobs.
Despite a DGA spokesman's snappily amusing response to Perry's suggestion, we hope that Governor Cuomo accepts the "challenge" — which we put in quotes not just because Rick Perry is a phoney-baloney, but because Cuomo would win the discussion paws down.
After all, what company would want to move to a state with:
- A crippling drought — Bein' thirsty sure beats environmental extremism.
- Exploding fertilizer plants — Okay, so 14 people died, but get yer gummint regulators outta my business!
- No state-based health insurance exchange or Medicaid expansion — Sure, Texas has the highest rate of uninsured Americans in the country. But we don't want none of that thar Obamacare!
- No abortion or reproductive healthcare — Human life is sacred (at least until it's born).
- Creationism in school textbooks — Science is lies from the pit of hell, pardner.
In this mythical debate, all Rick Perry would talk about would be taxes, taxes, taxes. (Unless he has trouble remembering the third "taxes.") But if we cats owned a business, we'd worry about our employees' quality of life — and wonder why anyone would want to work for us in the Republican wasteland known as the Lone Star State.
