The much-married big-mouth McClellan-Keaton-Rylander-Strayhorn is just a repainted Democrat underneath, just like LOTS of our Texas officials are. They are NOT conservatives but put on the Republican coat to get elected.

"I sympathize with those coming over who want to put a roof over their heads," Strayhorn told the Greater Houston Pachyderm Club.

Illegal aliens had roofs over their heads in their home countries before they came to the United States.

Immigrants, legal or otherwise, come to Texas to "put a roof over their heads" and Texas has a responsibility to provide them education and health care once they are here, Republican gubernatorial candidate Carole Keeton Strayhorn told a conservative GOP group today.

Gee Dane...I guess Strayhorn and Fox must REALLY make you damp!

Let's try a little experiment...let's see if a few words changed can make this gobbledygook more sensible...

ImmigrantsBank Robbers/Rapists/Murderers/Drug Dealers, legal or otherwise, come to Texas to "put a roof over their heads" and Texas has a responsibility to provide them education and health care once they are here, Republican gubernatorial candidate Carole Keeton Strayhorn told a conservative GOP group today.

Yup...still makes PERFECT sense...better stop locking your doors, Dane...some Immigrant, legal or otherwise, might just want some of what you have in your home...can't deny them that, right?

[Dane]

Actually if I lived in Texas I wouldn't vote for Strayhorn in the primary.

She's a RINO.

Carole Keeton Strayhorn must be insane!

You left out McClellan-Rylander.

I know you are busy with the H.O.T. thread about the protest, but you have GOT TO READ THIS ARTICLE!!

Wow. Kiss that sick scumbag Strayhorn "goodbye".

[cpdiii]

Bye Bye Carol Strayhorns political future, it is over baby! :)

[Abcdefg]

What is Kinky's opinion?

[Sweetjustusnow]

How quaint. Another Bush family friend. Ah yes, the pungent smell of RINO.

[The_Victor]

What is Kinky's opinion?

Kinky probably thinks we should return Texas to Mexico.

[wardaddy]

Moonbat for Governor.

Did she just crap in her campaigin' pants or what?

"I sympathize with those coming over who want to put a roof over their heads," Strayhorn told the Greater Houston Pachyderm Club. "We can't turn them away from the hospital steps."

So, Ms. Strayhorn, you're saying you sympathize with criminals? How about the guy that robbed the convenience store the other evening? He a criminal just like the invaders from Mexico. Do you sympathize with him, too?

[brytlea]

I have a fabulous idea. Any of us who just need a roof over our heads etc should just show up at Strayhorn's home. I'm sure she will let us squat there!
Sheesh, this is getting totally ridiculous. Is there not a single politician who is not willing to sell out for a few votes?
susie

[Sen Jack S. Fogbound]

She is way to the LEFT RINO! I'm not real thrilled with Perry but I will vote for him in a heartbeat over Strayhorn!

We DO NOT OWE then ANYTHING who comes into our country ILLEGALLY!

Now GROW UP, Strayhorn! This is Texas, dammit!

[anymouse]

This is a Republican??????

That is open to debate. See this FR thread:

McClellan Letter Attempts to Defend Mom (TX Comptroller, Carol Keeton McClellan Rylander Strayhorn)

[Dante3]

Some Republican politicians can be classified as traitors, corrupt, and/or mentally unbalanced.

[Ron H.]

This is a Republican??????

Unfortunately this is what has been passing for Republicans ever since the Democraps found that they could no longer get elected even dog catcher in the state of Texas. They found that by changing party affiliations they easily get elected by large margins instead. Doesn't say much for some Texans does it!

[devane617]

Holy crap Carole! This is a joke right?
