Texans on the Election
A new poll produced by members of the UT-Austin Government Department and the Texas Politics Project, found that 67% of Texans think the country is moving in the wrong direction. This reflects similar polls across the rest of the country.
Texans do, however, support John McCain over Barack Obama 42 to 33%, and incumbent Republican John Cornyn over challenger State Representative Rick Noriega 44 to 31%. Libertarian Bob Barr and Independent Ralph Nader are both polling less than 5%.
Keep in mind, however, that Nader will not be on the ballot in Texas.

Stephen Colbert v. George Will
Goerge Will is a strong advocate of a ‘laisse-faire’ economic policy. He believes that less regulation of the economy makes the economy stronger, people richer, and the world a better place. This ‘hands-off’ policy believes that the market place (the economy) will fix itself over time even if, at times, it slows down or certain prices get high, etc…
Stephen Colbert appears to agree with him, however, he mocks some of his ideas by comparing them to Scientology!
What would a person like George Will suggest we do about current gas prices that are so incredibly high?
I’m not sure if George Will is a member of any particular political party. But if he was, what party do you think he’d be a member of? What ideas of his don’t fit into that particular party?
Also, I can’t figure out when Colbert is serious or not…
