Two sides of Hutchison apparent as she files to run for governor

AUSTIN — Both Kay Bailey Hutchisons showed up to file for governor Monday — Primary Kay and General Election Kay. Like hyperkinetic twins, they tended to talk over each other.

Primary Kay is very conservative. She talks about property rights, illegal immigrants and state-mandated vaccinations of teenage girls (a particular bugaboo of the Christian right).

General Election Kay promises to expand the party — save it, she says — by appealing to the broad Texas electorate in November.

RINO Alert!

[Joe Boucher]

Kay Bailey Hutchisons is a RINO any way you look at it.
She should be thrown to the curb.

True to her nature..she speaks out of both sides of her mouth.

Something we DON’T need in Texas....WashingtonDCification.

As a Texan, I can tell you she is only in the race to make sure we get a Democrat Governor. Even if she wins, we still get a Democrat.

The worst part is, thanks to her, we may end up with a Democrat Senator as well (although with her in Washington, we've just about had one already).

"I am running for governor of Texas. I am focused on this primary,”

Notice she's not so confident that she's given up her Senate seat. I've already told her office not to ever expect a vote from this house. If it came down to KBH or Kinky, Kinky or Mickey Mouse or Snoopy will get my vote. How's that fence coming, Kay?

Kay is a lawyer

The last thing Texas needs now is another

LAWYER telling us how to live our lives.

Thanks, GWMcClintock.

The only good thing about her in Washington is that to keep up appearances, she sometimes HAS to vote with the sane people. Once we get a Democrat Senator that can admit to being a Democrat, they’ll just vote the straight party line.

I think Governor Good-Hair is conservative mostly during election years, BUT he is better than K!!!

I REFUSE to vote for anyone every again if they voted for ANY of the bailout mess! And both she and Cornyn voted FOR the TARP and I am DONE with both of them!

I wouldn’t vote for them to be city dog catcher!!! Worthless, both of them!

As per the culture of texas. When confronted their answer is...” Hey, its just business”.

Recent GOP primaries in non-presidential years have drawn about 650,000 to 750,000 voters — largely from the party’s most conservative wing. Hutchison hopes to lure more moderate "November Republicans" into the primary, swelling the turnout to more than 1 million voters.

"November Republicans" = RINOs and crossover Democrats.

...” Hey, its just business”.

Is that what youseguys say in Texas?
