Excuse me. Wasn't the lottery going to lower our taxes and make our schools rich? What happened to that?

Using that thinking ("people are already doing it") we could add to that list:

- smoke pot
- steal cable TV
- speeding (repeal the speed limit!)

And I'm sure a few others.

Well not on our state parks. Who wants to go to a casino in Texas any way? Part of the fun is getting away IMO.

He has a point. If you sit down at a table in La. , 89% are from Texas.

More Kinky crap.

Vote for Perry. "He stinks, but he's the best we got."

Is there any possibility that Strayhorn is actually being a good republican here? What if she is currently running as an independent to siphon independent Friedman voters away with the intention of faltering at the end. This would make it a race between a Republican, a quasi-Republican and two other no chance no names. If she bowed out now it may make it a competitive three way race.
Does anyone know what the polls look like in a three way race?

""Legalizing casino gambling is very popular in Texas, and I think most people want it."

Not this Texan..keep it out of here. We dont need these money suckers...this aint La. or Ms. here. They can have the riff raff of gambling....not here in Tx. Kinky is right on the borders but wrong on this one.

I dont' believe enough people are taking this guy seriously enough to affect the race. On the question of sending the Texas National Guard to the border, I would like to point out Texas also has its own Army that cannot be Federalized. Those troops are the Texas State Guard, all volunteers, all unpaid (they even supply their own weapons, ammo, and uniforms). The State Guard drills at National Guard Armories when the Guard isn't there and is tasked with backing up law enforcement during emergencies. The State Guard has served during numerous hurricanes and other state-wide disasters and has received many commendations. See their website under Texas State Guard......
