Dems Have Kinky In The Crosshairs

[RedStateRocker]

Didn't he title one album "Ride 'em Jewboy"?

Could be the most fun since Jess Ventura. But then I think the two party system stinks,

[Texas Songwriter]

Kinky did not acquit himself well in the gubanatorial debate last week. All of his remarks were sloguns and tired euphemeisms. I hoped he would make the race more lively down here. He has not. He is just an old hippie.

[Zippo44]

Well, here in the far western reaches of Harris County, I am hearing more and more people saying "Hell, a trained monkey couldn't do a worse job than Perry, so why not elect a quitar playing, cigar chomping, friend of Larry (Ratso) Sloman".

Kinky Friedman may be a closet liberal, but due to the legacy of Reconstruction the damage a wack job can do in the Governor's mansion is limited. So in the spirit of Ma and Pa Ferguson; let's elect the candidate that will give us the most opportunities to shake our collective heads and ask our neighbors, "Have you heard what that crazy SOB did now?"

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

So desperate that they're revving up their patented smear machine to attack #3 and hurling "racism" charges at Kinky Friedman -- of all people.

"Must be those teenage immigrant welfare mothers on drugs."

They don't make Jews like Jesus anymore...

'Didn't think he was a Jew as far as I could figger, looked to me like one slightly anemic, well dressed country (n-word deleted).'

Due to the limited power that the Gov has in TX its hard to not consider replacing the blow dried stuffed shirt with someone who will add some color to the governorship.

He he wont be able to do anything cwazzah, but he may actually get a few good ideas down the pike.
I like his idea on giving us more state recreational areas.
And I like the idea of a cigar smoking Governor.
Hell this state is getting way to mamby pamby on personal rights

And the very idea of a Gov in a cowboy hat instead of coiffed locke's has a certain allure L0L

[billhilly]

You are a hoot. The kind of person that caused us to slap our knees and laugh wholesomely, not derisively.

[38special]

Kinky is anti-gun and anti-hunter and will not be getting my vote.

[billhilly]

Know what you mean about Imus, but like a train wreck, he is fun to watch. His ego is bigger than his ranch that bigger egos have built. He is no dummy.

[Nervous Tick]

let's elect the candidate that will give us the most opportunities to shake our collective heads and ask our neighbors, "Have you heard what that crazy SOB did now?"

(shaking head) Yep, that's the Austin Mayoral race, to a T.

In my humble opinion, running and electing cartoon caricatures to replace flawed (but at least real) candidates pokes fun at the very core of democracy. It cheapens and degrades a sacred institution for which a LOT of precious blood has been shed, and denigrates that which we take for granted but much of the world can only, someday, hope and pray for. God willing, we won't become too jaded and elect too many of these Leslies and Kinkys and thereby lose interest in the whole process, to the point where we lose our own democracy and are totally unable to help those who crave it for themselves.

Again, just my opinion. Your mileage may vary, I suppose.

[billhilly]

Damn right Kinky mama.

[billhilly]

Jesse who?

[Nervous Tick]

say what?

[okie01]

God willing, we won't become too jaded and elect too many of these Leslies and Kinkys and thereby lose interest in the whole process, to the point where we lose our own democracy and are totally unable to help those who crave it for themselves.

In other words, those who conduct the affairs of the Republic shouldn't be elected for their entertainment value...

A point very well taken.

[Borian]

" the Texas Republican machine, our incompetent nation office holders ("W" and crew) who are in the sack with El Presidente Fox and his sucessor. In fact the Republican Congressional "leaders""

I'm with you pretty much all the way. Texas house and senate are filled with spineless dems and rinos. I disagree with you on calling "W" incompetent. He has been absent on the border issue but good Lord, imagine if Gore or Kerry had won.

The reason Kinky is getting my vote is he seems honest. If he is liberal and going to raise my taxes, he will say so up front, then debate. Not sneak it by and release carefully crafted sound bites like our current well rehearsed hairdoo of a governer. Either way, Kinky will chastise the current house and senate members and hopefully expose the den of snakes.

An honest liberal will get my vote faster than a dis-honest
"conservative". Perry can suck it.

[Zippo44]

Well, shoot. If we were talking about the Lt Governor race, I wouldn't even consider a vote for anyone other than a strong serious conservative candidate. But the Governor of Texas has less real power than the Mayor of Houston and look at the metrosexual dimocrat that holds that office.
Kinky will spark discussion, some serious but mostly the good ol' fashion barber shop/bait camp/hardware store kind. He can't do much harm and meanwhile the Lt Gov will keep the bidness of the people moving forward.

[Republican Wildcat]

I guess you all aren't big supporters of same-sex marriage, either (link Kinky supports)?

[Republican Wildcat]

link = like

[Borian]

"Kinky will spark discussion, some serious but mostly the good ol' fashion barber shop/bait camp/hardware store kind. He can't do much harm and meanwhile the Lt Gov will keep the bidness of the people moving forward."

Exactly.

[Nervous Tick]

That's cute. I enjoyed the "home-grown" Texus homilies. Everyone here talks like that, you know, especially in the barber shops and bait camps where we ALL spend the majority of our time (wink)... not at work at high-tech jobs or trying to make ends meet on a family farm or anything like that. Still...

Somuthem good ol' Al Queda boys smuggle a dirty bomb across the border south of Nuevo Laredo and set it off in a hotel on the River Walk in San Antonio.
Gov. Kinky instinctively _____________________________________...?

Cat 5 hurricane Hillary makes landfall just north of Corpus Christi. Only a few dozen perish in Corpus, but Port Aransas and Rockport are not so fortunate; they catch the eastern eyewall of the merciless storm.
Thankfully, we Texans have Gov. Kinky, who immediately _________________________________...?

And so on. By the way, you COULD fill in the blanks with "hide in the governor's mansion and smoke dope with Willie". While perhaps accurate, I don't think that's the answer the majority of Texans are looking for.
