Probably some minor party candidate. I considered the Libertarian, but just look at his quotes in this story. And before anyone gets on to me, this is not the only reason I'm not voting for KBH. Earlier this year, she voted for the stem cell research bill the president vetoed.

Oh, sure. Does she think Afghanistan is the only battleground in fighting terrorism? Terrorists do not have a country/state, adhere to no rules of war much less the Geneva Convention, are establishing civilian armies (cells) in many countries, are financed by those who want to see the ruin of the west and have pledged to destroy our way of life and drive us back to the 14th century. What is HER answer to fighting terrorism? Her question should be, "since we did't find WMDs in Iraq, where can it be?" The Kurds know Saddam had WMDs even if she refuses to acknowledge it.

Wait A Minute! This is from the LIBERAL Austin Paper! Austin is the HOTBED OF lIBERALISM in Texas. Let's hear from Sen. Hutchison first hand before you throw her under the bus.

REPUBS DON'T EAT THEIR OWN!

I knew about that also...(stem cell vote)..

I am an avid Senate watcher...and I have to admit there have been many votes that I haven't liked..that she has made.

But, not enough to possibly give a DEM her seat!

Of course if the exact WMD situation had been known we may still have gone to war, but the framing of the thing would have been different.

The President would have gone about things a different way and that exact bill wouldn't have been presented; so Hutchinson makes sense that her voting behavior would have been different if all facts were known.

WHO are you going to vote for???

Kay Baily lost my vote when she failed to support the house managers on WJC's impeachment vote, and I let her know that.

I will vote Republican and use my right to unselect her name. I will not vote for her opponents either. That way it counts as one vote against her instead of two.

Like I said, if there any chance of Radnofsky winning, there is no way I'd let that happen. This seat is safe for Hutchison, so I feel fine casting a vote against her.

Kay Bailey has turned into John Kerry.

Send her into retirement, Texas.

Does anyone in political office read?

We have found hundreds of WMD in Iraq, all in violation of the ceasefire agreements. Some are pre- GW1, some after. It's on the record.

For God's sake, go to this site's search function and look for Iraqi WMDs, and you will get back article after article about locating caches of shells. I think one of the largest such contained over 700 items.

No, it's hard to read when you are continually gazing up at your moistened finger trying to figure out which way the wind is blowing.

The choice is still clear to me. I cannot vote for a rat.

Democrat Barbara Ann Radnofsky seized on Hutchison's reflection, suggesting that Hutchison was among senators who failed to read intelligence information...

Many Congresscritters apparently suffer from Didnotreadthereportitis. Many of the same suffer from the related ailment, Didnotreadthebillitis. These elected should be sent for treatment and removed from any legislative responsibilities.

Those thousands of Kurds just fell over dead one day for no reason too. Of course Saddam had WMD's, and he was always angling for more.

I'm not voting for the Democrat, either. I'm either going to vote for a minor party ca`ndidate or skip over the Senate part of the ballot.

He stated plainly - and to applause - that we were going to free the people of Iraq and bring Democracy to the Middle East.

Right. And this kind of nation-building sh!t is reminiscent of the delusional utopianism of the Woodrow Wilson administration 90 years ago.

Hillary Rodham Bailey Hutchison has lost my vote with this and her attempt at a bill for illegal alien amnesty.
