As one who lives in the state whose values she has failed MISERABLY to represent, I urge calls to McCain's headquarters to discourage any more talk of this 10-faced ughhgerly who actually favors opening the borders even more to an invasion of laborers and high-tech folk alike.The ones on FreeRepublic who like the idea simply do not know her and should do their own research. A woman on the ticket for the sake of putting one there is WRONG-HEADED!

“KBH is Pro-CHOICE, she is PRO-CHOICE She is PRO-CHOICE!”
You mean she’s PRO-ABORTION, PRO-ABORTION.
I’m PRO-LIFE, PRO-LIFE
They’re never given a “choice.”
But we all know what MeCain thinks of real Conservatives.
KBH is a MeCain Republican, not a Conservative.
to clarify, her name is Hutchison, not Hutchinson.
KBH is a RINO. She is in the pocket of big airlines (read American Airlines) to the BIG detriment of her voters.
She recently pushed through a restriction on flights from Love Field in Dallas whereby Southwest Airlines has to wait 8 years to fully open up flights all over the country from Love. The agreement called for REDUCING gates to restrict competition, which of course drives up prices for the little people. It also called for tearing down a new terminal so another airline could not use it. Further, the agreement calls for area cities to oppose new airports that would compete with Love. Thanks Kay Bailey.
Second, she is now involved in trying to prevent the US Govt from auctioning off slots at NY airports. Government officials say the plan will allow market forces to reduce inefficiencies and make air travel more reliable. She is joined in this effort by fellow democrats Chucky Schumer (D-NY) and Patty Murray (D-Wash).
American Airlines and Continental Airlines are some of the biggest carriers at these airports. Employees and officials of both carriers are or have been contributors to Hutchison.
Thanks again, Kay Bailey. You forget that you work for the voters, not the airlines.
Thanks for posting this. Hubby and I were discussing it just the other night. He was skeptical when I said KBH was pro-choice, couldn’t believe a Texas Republican could be anything but pro-life.
She’s also pro-scamnesty. Flush her.
Sad that she is a Republican and judges this way.
Kay believes in a woman’s right to choose.
She openly favors abortion rights.
She believes that Roe was rightly decided.
She believes the Constitution guarantees a woman’s right to have an abortion.
Kay Bailey Hutchinson is Pro-Choice, and OPENLY so.
My tagline most definately applies here, I did not previously know this about Kay. Very disappointing.
A pity. I really believe we need a woman in the two spot this year. But I am concerned that Sarah Palin is just not seasoned enough and could become a female Dan Quayle gaffe machine under pressure. Kay seemed like an ideal choice. But this Roe issue is probably a fatal one.

thxs, knew this, but apparently many are not aware of this.
AUSTIN — U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison said Thursday she hasn’t been asked to be John McCain’s running mate, despite some speculation that she’s a possible choice for the No. 2 spot on the Republican ticket.
