    Kinky Freidman would be the best way to not waste your vote.

    ...even if he's not running.

    "The best way to control illegal immigration...is to give the Mexican Generals across the border $1,000 for every person they stop from crossing. Illegal immigration would stop overnight."

    I mean, the guy is a genius.

    Kay Bailey Hutchinson's campaign has made no impression on me so far, and the primaries are coming up.

    A vote for Rick Perry is a vote for the man, Debra Medina is the ostensible conservative (and therefore a vote for chaos), and Kay Barely Cares barely seems to care about being governor of Texas. Maybe other things are more important to her now, who knows?

    To kick off the last debate of the primary season between the big three in the GOP, Debra Medina called out Rick Perry.


    "In a recent interview at the Blogger's Summit, Governor Perry said that ending the property tax in Texas was a very intriguing and positive idea. However, he fell short of embracing the end of property tax or any significant change in management of the state's current fiscal crisis, maintaining that Texas is on the right path. "Well, I'm saying "bull " and here's why," Medina said:


    "Not only have we seen loss of jobs in the private sector, the most recent State Comptroller's Fiscal Notes shows total state tax collections have fallen by over 20%, while funds from the federal government to the state government have risen nearly 34% so far this year over last year, to plug the huge hole in Governor Perry's state budget."

    They're all politicians...or politician wannabe's.

    So they all have some sorta ego, or self esteem problem. Personality disorder's run amok in 95% of 'em.

    Having said that they all suck...and they all DO suck, they all want power over your life...err..

    sigh...

    Having said that...We've done better than any other state in the country under Perry. About as good as you can hope for I guess. He's gotta stop with the toll road stuff, but other than that...well, Texas has been doing pretty good under Perry.

    Probably vote for him barring he doesn't do something totally stupid before the election.

    All these politicians are strung tight, all of 'em are ticking bombs and capable of unheard heights of stupidity.

    Rick Perry is as crooked and corrupt as they come. (And I am bascially a conservative).
    He is tied in with all the toll road money interests and his dream of the Trans Texas Corridor. I won't go into specifics, but some business clients of mine had a program they were trying to get off the ground and it needed the governor's blessing. All they had to do was pay a lobbyist several thousands of dollars ( and I do mean several) to get an appontment with Perry. Now how much of that money do you thihk made it back to Perry's way? Next, go check out how much money was "donated" by men that Perry appointed as regents to the State colleges and universities.

    I will vote for Kay Bailey before Prick Perry in the primary. Bill White is also highly regagrded as a Democrat. If it comes down to Kay Bailey vs. Bill White, I might go Bill White.

    BUT ABSOLUTELY NO TO PRICK PERRY.

    It is amusing that Perry and Hutchinson are attempting to portray themselves as something other than members of the Austin or DC establishment. The emergence of Goodhair the Secessionist makes for cheap political theater.

    Kay Bailey moves home and caps her political career as governor. Semi-retirement in a way for her. Perry launches his presidential run from the governor's mansion.

    Making a law that all girls have to take a vaccine owned by one co. and the trans corridor. Plus he has had enough time as govenor. We don't need a career govenor. However I don't like Hutchinson.

    Eliminate property tax:
    We must eliminate property tax in Texas. We can fund necessary government services more efficiently and fairly using a broader based sales tax. Eliminating property tax and deriving that revenue from a sales tax will mean a $3 billion increase in net personal income in Texas and will add 125,000-175,000 new jobs. [pdf]
