I am starting some ping lists for the 2010 Texas Governor's Race. The ping lists will expire when the election is over. Freepmail me to get on/off the lists.
keyword: txgov2010
This ping list will cover all articles related to the governor's race regardless of candidate.
keyword: rickperry
This list will cover articles related to Governor Rick Perry, positive or negative.
keyword: kbh
This list will cover articles related to Senator Hutchison, positive or negative.
I'll do my best not to send duplicate pings.
Regards, BuckeyeTexan
I know very little about Medina. I cannot support KBH - she is too much a RINO - wanting to ‘grow the party’, etc. I did not like Gov Goodhair and his Trans-Texas Corridor, but right now he seems the best choice.
There are several marks against KBH in my opinion:
- She wants to widen the appeal of the Republican Party in Texas, which means moving toward the center. (Big Tent, No Principles.)
- She’s pro-choice.
- She supports embryonic stem cell research.
- She single-handedly destroyed the border fence and its associated resources (staffing, security, roads, etc.) with S.Amdt. 2466 to H.R. 2368 (the DHS appropriations bill)
- She’s been in Washington D.C. for 16 years. She’s part of the problem, not the solution.
- And she voted for the bailout.
The first election on who will be the President of the Federal Republic of Texas?
Nah. KBH doesn’t have it in her to part with Washington. She’d order the Guard to fire on us.
Who says KBH will win?
Hey Max,
Kay has never been a dyed in the wool, staunch conservative. What is her position on the most important things in Texas: 2nd amendment rights, abortion, the border,and 10th amendment soveirgnty. Perry frightened me with his Gardcil thing and I felt very foolish voting for him last time and seeing his ads that he will be tough on the border. Less than a month after he was elected he backed off that pledge.
Medina is not ready for prime time in my opinion.
That is why I would like to start a write in campaign for Jerry Patterson here at Free Republic and at Tea Parties.
Patterson has won statewide office several times. He is a Veteran, and sees many, Many things the way I Do.
I almost forgot about him promoting the Gardasil shots for teenage girls. That was a bit odd for a Conservative wasn't it... He was also for the Trans Texas Corridor and I am not sure if he has entirely backed off Toll Roads.
Looks like we may not have a real clear cut choice here. I will have to look into Jerry Patterson some. I have heard the name, nothing really pro or con I can readily put my finger on.
She won’t if I have anything to do with it. I just cannot abide her values.
Why don’t you post an article about Patterson? I’ll ping the list to it. Or if you find one you want me to post, send it to me.
Tex, can we use this thread to post questions so that we can compile any answers we get from these candidates and even prospective ones like Patterson?
Also, I would like to have more information on Patterson if someone here can provide.
Thanks.
Yes, omegabea! We can use this thread for a “campaign central” sandbox.
All, if you have discussion items for the group, please post them here, unless it’s more appropriate on another thread. If you find out or need information about a particular candidate and you need a place to note it, feel free to post those questions and comments here. If you want me to ping the group, freepmail me or ping me from your comment.
As a side note, a member of our group suggested that my campaign biases should not be reflected in pings and freepmails to the group as a whole. He’s right. From now on, I will make my opinions known only through single comments in-thread. Group pings and freepmails will be neutral.
Tex
I don’t know anything about Patterson or if he’s even running for Governor, but I will see what I can find out.
Thanks! I will add you to my, sadly short, list of thoughtful people. Well done.
Add me to the ping list, please.
Add me to all three, general, Perry and Hutchison, thanks.
Ok who?
I wish my Governor would secede from the Union! By the way what is the matter with that! Nobody likes what O is throwing at us!!!! If more Governors did that I think Washington would get the message! It is just a threat!!!!
Debra Medina, but she has no chance.
But what you will see is many Texas Democrats voting for KBH in the Republican Primary and that will likely give her the GOP Nomination.
That is what I’m afraid of! Who is better Perry or Kay?
