Give Dewhurst the Boot in 2014
Vanity | 20 Sep 2013 | Vanity

Posted on 09/20/2013 10:33:36 AM PDT by JRandomFreeper

I've been promising a Texas Lt. Governor primary thread for a while. This thread is for discussion of the merits of primary candidates for the office of Lt. Governor of the State of Texas.

Lt. Governor is the most powerful elected office in the State of Texas.

The candidates that I know of are: Jerry Patterson, Todd Staples, and Susan Combs. Those are declared candidates.

I was leaning toward Patterson but http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2988592/posts this information has caused me to temper my support.

Gosh...is that all you’ve got on him? Check out u-tube sometime when he talks about immigration with a bit of...shall we say La Raza history interpretation on Anglos as first immigrants...or some such. plus his handy dandy support for the Texas Solution....

Oh, yeah. That statewide property tax thingy. No thanks!

We need a conservative, NOT an establishment-RINO.

And, no thanks to George P Bush running for Tx Land Commissioner :(

Looks like Susan Combs has dropped out and Dan Patrick (the state senator) has thrown his hat in the ring.

Staples is reported to have $3M, to Dewhurst's $1.7M.

My Sis in Texas likes Todd Staples. Very solid on immigration and a backbone like steel. She says he could be another Ted Cruz.

I believe she told me he is the agriculture commissioner. Anyone who can stand up to the cheap labor lobby on their own turf is A-OK in my book.

Not a big Dan Patrick fan. He tends to see which way the wind blows.

One of the reasons for the thread is to get information on the policy positions of the candidates. I'm making open carry in Texas one of my touchstones this election. Our gun laws are awful, compared to some of the yankee states.
