One other thing, I don't believe you are a Texan.
I don't believe you are sentient most of the time, but there you go.

Nobody was forcing anybody to buy anything. It was only to give preference to goods that was the same cost and quality.

If I have to write a couple pages of justification for buying a Samsung monitor or spend 1/2 a day trying to find an 'merikan model --- it's not worth it. Beside, in terms of CONTENT of that item --- it's useless. Maybe one American spent 4 minutes reboxing the crap and they claim American content.
It's bureaucrat bungling at it's finest.. If they want to buy American that badly, San Francisco bridges wouldn't be made in CHina..
I'll stick with the previous poster. He vetoed it because it hinders govt business and adds cost. And in a year or two, the bureaucratic RULES for implementing this "well-intentioned" patriotic salute would bring Texas purchasing to its knees. He's got a state to promote and even THO -- he's a spoon in the knife drawer -- somehow --- he's whooping Blue Ass doing it.. Tells ya something about the competence of the Blue Asses dont it?
Just adding the word "manufactured" to current legislation will bring Texas purchasing to its knees???
Wow, that state is worse off than we all thought.

What the hell makes any of you think this is a UNION bill? Just because a union leader comes out in support of it? So what?
This is a bill that gives preferences to goods made 1) in Texas and 2) in America as long as it is of the same quality and cost of foreign made goods. (By the way. Japan and China have unions too.)
And when only 6% of the American private workforce is unionized (most likely less in Texas) it's highly unlikely that it will hardly benefit any union members.
So the bottom line is that you morons want to shoot yourselves in the foot and continue to despise American workers.
Bottom line? You think ALL American workers suck and I think they're the best in the world, union or not.

like Texas ARL-CIO President Becky Moeller
hmmmmmmm...which is really AFL-CIO......even more interesting......
I used to be a huge buy American fan, until I found out it was just a code word for supporting unions. Fuck them, I hate, hate unions.
This is just a sham to prop up unions, they cant compete and it's their own fault, sucks to be you!!!
It's funny how liberals dont worry about China buying up all of our debt though.....naaaaaaaah, we need all those bs goverment programs.
Hey fuckface, in case you didn't notice this bill was supported UNANIMOUSLY by the GOP controlled Texas house in probably the most red state in the union.
And since you know so little about unions let me explain something to you. Organized labor only makes up about 6% of private sector employment.
I happen to think that American workers (union or not) are the best in the world.
So fuck you and your "I hate American workers" attitude.

buckeye45_73 is one of the biggest Republicorp tools on the board. No surprise there. Compete w/ $2/hr foreign labor
This is the guy who many of the Neo-Cons on here wanted to see become POTUS.
Texas Governor Rick Perry vetoed House Bill 535, commonly referred to as the “Buy Texan, Buy American” bill, after it was approved by the Texas House unanimously.This is the guy who many on here consider a REAL CONSERVATIVE.The bill also passed the Texas Senate by a vote of 23 to 7, making Perry’s potential veto the only big stopping force for the bill not becoming law.

Hey liar.Perry was right to veto the bill, it was just another attempt to force people to buy overpriced goods so union members can continue to make excessive salaries for doing jobs you could train a monkey to do.

Anti union white trash scum are the American equivalent of concentration camp Jews who worked hand in glove with Germans to speed up camp processes. They didn't ask questions and they accepted the words of their masters at face value. THOUSANDS still living get the same respect as those who had a harder time in the camps because... it was okay.
White trash nutballs are today reduced to that level by the oppressors of labor. White trash will cooperate with anyone who tells them what they want to hear in hopes it won't get worse for them personally. And among them... that is okay.
Rant and rave all you want but this isn't about unions. Nice try, though.
When you post that to the fucking moron who suggested buying American was "code" for supporting unions get back to me. Until then mind your own business.
Thanks!

How about posting the bill and not just the title?
If you are about buying American, then you support ALL American companies.
Right?
Wal*mart is an American company.

We also live in a free society where everyone is able to make their own purchase decisions based not only on the product but on the products manufacturing process impact on the individual/state/nation as a whole. That side of the freedom you are ignoring. What the bill embodies is that idea that purchasing something that is built by Texans is better for Texas than purchasing something built by Chinese. This is simply a reality and if government is going to forcibly take away my money than they should at least purchase items that help me and others in the state that I reside in, not Chinese.We live in a free society where everyone is free to compete.No. It would not force anyone to do anything. This was a matter of state purchases. The government should be doing EXACTLY this – giving large bias to local producers for state purchases. Hell, the consumer should do that as well BUT nothing should force him to. The state on the other hand should be forced to give American products preference when looking to make purchases.So he vetoed a bill that would 'force' people to buy certain products.
That's is conservatism. If he had signed it, it would have been tyranny
There is this though:
This, if true, makes the law nothing but a publicity stunt and vetoing it would not be necessarily wrong though I can’t fathom why he would do so. If not true then he was wrong in vetoing the law.Current law already requires agencies to give preferences to goods produced and grown in Texas. While I support and encourage our agencies to buy goods from Texas businesses, this bill simply does not change current law
giving preference means people outside of TX have to cut profits to compete with people in tx b/c tx gives it's people an unfair edge.
It shouldn't be a law at all.
Litigation?Semantics, the last bastion of a loser. Good job. You still have yet of explain how this bill would not open the state to unnecessary litigation, based on purchasing decisions. Also the legislature had the option to override the veto had they chosen to.
buckeye's hatred of the American working class is astounding.
