Trans-Texas Corridor PING!

[Ben Ficklin]

The Hutchison Perry smackdown begins. And of course the “true conservatives” will be lamenting the rino versus rino contest.

[Manfred the Wonder Dawg]

You got that right. We need another type of animal running for the GOP office in this state. I’ve told Sen Hutchison that I would not vote for her to gather up lost puppies, much less be governor.

[Ben Ficklin]

There are other ways to frame it.

Its the good ol' boy from West Texas versus the Metro elitist bitch.

Or, Statist Kay versus Federalist Perry.

I don’t want Perry

[Grams A]

What about Kinky??

[TXnMA]

Thanks to his TTC scam, RINO Rick Goodhair Perry is political dead meat in Texas. And, to many P.O.'d Texans, that extends to Perry being anathema anywhere in the U.S.

One of the few things (aside from a Democrat) that would be worse than McCain for President would be a McCain/Perry ticket.

What about Kinky??

---

Kinky blew his wad last time. But he’s made references to running as a democrat, his true home.

[Ben Ficklin]

Or, Texas versus Texas A&M

Or, female versus male

Or, female cheerleader versus male cheerleader

BTTT

Perry is still strong with the "base.

huh? I don't think so. I wish John Cornyn would run and then run for President in '12.

[TexasRedeye]

Kay Baily needs to keep her day job and forget being Gov of Texas this time around! She is too much like McLame - too many negatives for the "base" to support her. After her amendment virtually killed funding for the two-layered fence in Texas that has worked so well in California and had been previously approved and funded, I wrote her and told her I would actively campaign against her - even to campaigning FOR Gov. Good Hair Perry!(EWWWWWW).

Dec 2007 - Lest we forget: Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, the Texas Republican who has led the charge to change the 2006 law ... House Minority Leader John A. Boehner, "Gutting the Secure Fence Act will make our borders less secure, ... She won with help from the Democrat majority! The spending bill, written by Democrats and passed 253-154 with mostly their votes,...

>>What’s more, opposition to Perry’s unpopular Trans-Texas Corridor, which Hutchison has vigorously opposed, may kill him even among the Republican base.<<

Let’s see if I’ve got this straight. Hutchison “has vigorously opposed” the TTC or “has vigorously opposed” opposition to the TTC? She has made statements that she opposes it, but has connections to Bracewell & Giuliani (one of Hutchison’s top 20 contributors, managing partner Robert Oxford served as co-chairman of Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison’s re-election campaign last year), which represents Cintra.

In McCain’s new plan, if Hutchison or Perry were elected governor in 2010, whoever the winner is would “certify” that the border is secure. I don’t trust either. A vote by the state legislature would be better, although a voter referendum would really be more likely to reflect a consensus.

[BubbaBobTX]

Actually Kinky ran as a Republican in Kerville several years ago.

[al_c]

ROFL!!!! You don't have a snowball's chance in Hell, Perry!

[johnthebaptistmoore]

Why not have a decent conservative also run for Governor of Texas? If there are just RINOs running, then how would a true conservative also running not have a serious chance of winning?

[MeekOneGOP]

I don’t know White but I sure as he** would want Perry
over Kay Bailey Hutchison.

I’ve held my nose every time I’ve voted for KBH.

[MeekOneGOP]

whoops!
