How many times have Republicans been burned by someone talking straight-line conservatism who once they got to Washington, D.C., morphed into a liberal?

You tell me.

I'm saying it doesn't happen enough to even talk about.

What does happen is when someone says just enough of good sounding pap to make people hope that they won't get burned by another RINO. Usually it is a moderate with some (lower case) conservative talk that gets people's hopes up.

When was the last time you saw anyone put in writing their views that we need to NULLIFY federal laws in favor of states rights?

When was the last time you saw anyone run for office on the basis of ELIMINATING property taxes?

As far as her reported waffling, as you can see on this thread, people are prone to hear what they want to hear and post what they want to post even if they can't substantiate their claims.

I’m cynical about potential candidates who don’t have a past voting record with which one can judge true beliefs.

Didn’t Kay B. Hutchison talk like a conservative, too? And how disappointed are conservative Texans with her?

At least she has a record to judge her by before everyone goes to vote this time around. So does Perry. I wouldn’t vote for either, knowing what I know now about their records.

With a new candidate, one you can only judge by their speeches and online statements, it’s like a crap shoot.

Good luck, Texas!
