Bell wants Friedman to drop out of race (Kinky: "We don't negotiate with terrorists")

Yes I am. I know Perry isn't 100% Conservative, but by all estimate, he is 75% and I would rather have 75% forward momentum than the negative momentum the others would bring.

I don't know if Perry is even 75% conservative, but he's better than those other losers. I'll be voting for Rick. I've come to the conclusion that a gutless RINO is better than a 100% democrat.

Worst case scenario is Bell winning.

When was the last time we saw anyone actually reach out to the voters?

It has been quite awhile. Now it is all about getting more money to run more incredibly pathetic ads to get name recognition...which is sad because there are plenty of free venues that will get you a lot of free exposure *if* you are willing to answer questions...which candidates don't like to do.

Here is a few links. But google is your friend is you really want to find out what Kinky has said when and where.

Good luck with your research.

And how sad this is..we don't have a candidate to vote for. I fear the same will be true in 2008 for the presidential race.

I agree, four candidates for governor in one of the most conservative states and none of them is a John Cornyn - type conservative.

With Kinky and Stayhorn in the race, it'll draw as many Democrats to them as Republicans. I don't see Bell winning.

Lt. Governor Dewhurst has also lost the support of Dan Patrick.

We need to get conservative Republicans on the ballot through the primary process. The state GOP isn't so friendly to us (I'm not talking about people at the precinct level).

Kinky may not be the best outsider to vote for but the rest are lifetime politicians.

Chris Bell doesn't even seem to be concerned about which office he controls. He was on city council. He ran for mayor and failed. He was briefly elected to Congress but was replaced after losing to another Democrat after redistricting. His only significant act was filing an ethics charge against Tom DeLay on his way out (and yes his supporters cite that as a reason to vote for him). Now he's running for Governor. So which is it? Or is it just about the power, influence, and contracts?

Grandma and Perry are also life long politicos. Doesn't anybody WORK anymore?
