I'm leaning toward Perry. Make no mistate about that. But Kinky is no liberal. This is an important fact that we must not lose sight of because Kinky has a lot of populist support and support among Reagan Democrats and Kinky's support is good evidence that a true conservative could rise up on the right of the RINOs we are inflicted with. I'm not saying that Kinky is that guy (maybe Dan Patrick is) but there is room in Texas for a conservative populist rising up on the right flank of the GOP.
To show that Kinky is no liberal, let me offer the analysis of another:
Watch
this video clip. It is hilarious, it is true, and it is politically incorrect as hell. Liberal politicians are too politically correct to admit the truth that "negro is a charming word." Whatever Kinky is, he's NOT a liberal.
Next, read up on Kinky's
get-tough illegal alien plan and his
5 Mexican generals plan. Kinky's common sense border security plan is the straight up "minuteman" approach, not Perry's namby-pamby "let's set up cameras" approach. Make no mistake, Kinky is the only candidate brave enough to say we need armed military generals on our southern border. This is not a liberal plan.
Now consider Kinky's party affiliation. Kinky has
run for office in the past as a Republican and he
voted for Bush/Cheney in 2004.
Here is an excerpt from Kinky's interview with Ruminator magazine confirms that he
supported Bush's Middle East foreign policy:
Question: So does this idea of the honorable cowboy have anything to do with why you threw your support behind President Bush in this last election? You did, didn’t you?
Kinky: Yes. I did in this last election, but I didn’t vote for him the first time.
Question: Who did you vote for in 2000?
Kinky: I voted for Gore then. I was conflicted. . .but I was not for Bush that time. Since then, though, we’ve become friends. And that’s what’s changed things.
Question: So it’s your friendship with him that’s changed your mind about having him as president more than his specific political positions?
Kinky: Well, actually, I agree with most of his political positions overseas, his foreign policy. On domestic issues, I’m more in line with the Democrats. I basically think he played a poor hand well after September 11. What he’s been doing in the Near East and in the Middle East, he’s handling that well, I think.
Now maybe you are like me and you were worried that Kinky showed liberal tendencies by voting for a tree-hugger like Al Gore. Well, rest assured that Kinky was mistaken when he said that. Kinky's
public voting records confirm he didn't vote for Al Gore in 2000 because Kinky didn't waste his vote on any candidate from 1994 to 2004 when he voted for Bush/Cheney.
Maybe you think Kinky's a liberal because he's a Jew. Rest assured, Kinky's views on religion are well to the right of Perry's. Kinky wants to take time during the school day for
prayers in schools, and he wants to
post the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms.
