I am helping find good places to put large signs.
This one is at my place.
Please add me to all the pings.
I am a Debra Medina supporter, as I believe she is the only candidate who truly stands for limited government, individual liberty, property rights, free markets, and Texas sovereignty (and she is unequivocally pro-life).
In a normal election environment, I would agree that her chances would be next to nil... but I think in this historic amazing Tea Party filled hyper-passionate Obama-world we are living in right now just about anything is possible and I could easily the see the underdog take this thing if she gets some grassroots palinesque anti-establishment momentum going. Take a look at her stand on the issues, especially her suggestions for how Texas can stand up to the feds if Obama pushes through something like his health care plan or cap’n’tax, and then imagine what could happen to her support... especially given that so many of us don’t really want to vote for the other candidates anyway and are secretly looking for an excuse to vote for someone else who actually stands for what we do... with just one favorable appearance on say... THE GLENN BECK show!!!???
Furthermore, I think this is one of those elections where perceived political experience and exposure (some of the claimed weaknesses aimed at Debra’s candidacy) might actually be a strength rather than a weakness... and I want all of you conservatives to ask yourself the honest question: DO YOU REALLY THINK RICK OR KAY WILL DO ANYTHING TO SUBSTANTIVELY STAND UP TO WASHINGTON DC OR TO SUBSTANTIVELY TAKE ON AND/OR SHRINK THE PROGRESSIVE WELFARE AND REGULATORY STATE? KBH actually believes in some of that stuff and Perry has had a decade to begin shrinking the state government and somehow hasn’t managed to get started on the task yet.
Don’t fall into the trap, fellow conservatives, of voting for the lesser of two evils... at least take a look at Debra Medina and consider.

Add me too....please
A discussion point for the txgov2010 ping list:
As most of you know I don’t support KBH and am planning to vote for Perry. I’ve taken a hard look at Medina but I don’t think she can win. So, once again, I feel forced to vote for a candidate with the money to win. I’m not particularly unhappy with Perry. However, I do disagree with a few things he’s done as governor.
It seems we conservatives find ourselves in this position much of the time. That is voting for the candidate we think can win rather than the candidate with whom we most agree. We keep telling ourselves that we don’t do it again - that we’ll vote our principles next time rather than vote in another RINO.
I’ve seen many of you comment that you also like Medina but that she’s either not ready or can’t win. I’m asking myself if I’m going to stand on principle this time and vote for the most conservative candidate or the one I think can win. How about you? Anyone else waffling? If there is little difference between Perry and Hutchison, why not vote Medina?
Just thinking out loud. Thoughts from the group?
Please add me to your ping list!
I will support Medina in the primary, and hold my nose for Perry if I must in the general.
Polls are not always what they seem. No more RINO's and no more politics as usual.
This is our state, let's take it back!
Better the devil we know (Perry) than the Devil we don't, KBH.
Please add me to your pinglist, Buckeye, and Thank You.
Ping!
I’m in.
Perry is a liberal who has been in office too long. Kay Bailey Hutchison is liberal who has been a senator too long. We need some real candidates...
