Do you see any FIGHT EMERGING FROM THIS MAN???

He is not heartless. :)

[GeronL]

did any other Texans get the anti-Strauss booklet from Texans for Fiscal Responsibility today?

[JRandomFreeper]

No, but I don't really trust 'Texans for Fiscal Responsibility'. They smack of the same BS that was tried on behalf of Dewhurst.

Straus has to go because he's a liberal Republican, but I don't trust that group at all.

[GeronL]

OK, I am not familiar with them but on this issue they seem 100% right

It contains a long list of stuff that Strauss and his peeps delayed and stopped in the legislature. Also quotes from several leftists/orgs praising Strauss.

Planned Parenthood thanked him for his “tireless effort”

in 2007 he got a 100% rating from NARAL - (oddly enough they admit in 2007 their own org gave him a 71%.)

it quotes leftwing Joaquin Castro saying he can’t think of a better person to lead us... from January of 2009

....................

Is Texans for Fiscal Responsibility trying to change their name... because they are promoting a website called empowertexans.com??

[JRandomFreeper]

The President of 'Texans for Fiscal Responsibility' is Austin journalist Michael Sullivan, who used to be a staffer for Ron Paul.

I knew something reeked about that organization.

[JRandomFreeper]

'Texans for Fiscal Responsibility' is a spin off of 'Empower Texans'. As I said, it is run by Paulbot Michael Sullivan.

Even if they get the issue right on Straus, I don't trust them at all.

Anyone familiar with any of the above?

[JRandomFreeper]

Sullivan used to be a staffer for Ron Paul. I don't need to know much more.

I live in Maine and I agree, “THAT GUY ROCKS!”

The guy in question is Paul LePage, our TEA Party governor, and he doesn’t take crap from anyone.

Within days of being sworn in as governor in January 2011, he ended Maine’s status as a sanctuary state. He also cut off all welfare to illegal aliens. Gov. LePage was re-elected on November 4th.

So, Greg Abbott is weak on illegal immigration? Is that true?

[magna carta]

he will defend but not a LePage bone in his body.
To me issuing a statement re OPEN CARRY as Gov. Elect of a Border State that has been pelted relentlessly with IA’s is BIZARRE beyond words.
Where is his promise to pass a sanctuary bill, E-Verify...anything?
He serves the construction industry just like Perry did.

[JRandomFreeper]

That's the lie being presented. Dewhurst tried floating that rumor, too, and Dewhurst got booted from Texas Politics.

Lots of lying liars and bareknuckle politics in Texas State politics. You need a good BS detector.

By the way...your Gov is doing EXACTLY what should be done by EVERY Republican Governor.

[Jane Long]

Thanks....I thought you might know ;-)

[JRandomFreeper]

You sound like you swallowed the Dewhurst book on sliming conservatives.

/johnny

[JRandomFreeper]

Its hard keeping up with the lying liars and dirtbags coming out of Texas politics these days.

/johnny

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

Oh, I have a good BS detector. That’s why I asked the question.

Viewing Texas from afar, I always perceived your Govenor-Elect as a stand-up guy and a strong conservative. I always sensed that he was the kind of guy who would defend the borders of The Lone Star State come hell or high water.

Would you Texans mind sharing your senator with the rest of the country in 2016? (And I’m NOT talking about Cornyn)!

[magna carta]

He is an elite...not a conservative.
I block walked for Abbott I’m not stupid but I am watching him closely on this issue.
He gives an open carry cheer up the base in the midst of an invasion...what are you smoking?
The Governor of Maine is a CONSERVATIVE...ABBOTT is a FAKER

[JRandomFreeper]

Abbott has filed over 30 lawsuits against the Feds as AG. He's already been quietly working to protect Texas.

Some liars keep trying to recirculate the Dewhurst lies.

I'd be fine with Cruz as President. He meets my criteria to vote for. ;)

/johnny

[JRandomFreeper]

Then haul ass to Maine.

You don't have a clue what Abbott will do. And just because some media picked up the story about open carry doesn't mean he's been doing nothing about immigration.

It does prove that you have very limited knowledge of Texas politics.

Sell your defeatist BS elsewhere, troll.
