With not knowing much about Texas government before this class, I felt non-biased. Half way through this course, I do not believe my views have changed much. Perhaps I am slightly more liberal than what I realized. But having certain political views may be different than having Texas political views.
I did not know anything about Governor Rick Perry. In many of the articles that I have read, I do not recall reading anything “good” or “nice” about him. I have only read about criticisms with how he deals with the budget cut, his part of the Tea Party, and not to mention he has been the longest serving governor. Wait, how is he still governor? Who know, this power driven governor might no longer be the Texas governor if he runs for presidential elections.
As mentioned above, Texas has had a major budget cut. Luckily though, it will only affect minor situations such as the education system and providing for the homeless. Hopefully, with the budget cut, Texas’s money will go to something more important such as preventing the terrible and oh-so-bad illegal immigrants from making a living here.
Aside from Rick Perry and the budget cuts, indifferent is how I feel about Texas politics. The history is very confusing to me. So, unless I can better understand it, I am in no position to attack it. Or, is that a reason to attack Texas politics? Should Texas politics be THAT confusing and hard to follow? Neither conservative nor liberal articles that I have read made Texas politics seem easy to follow.
