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.

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.

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.

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?
