Strayhorn says state has responsibility to immigrants

The "pay Mexican generals to order their soldiers to shoot departing Mexican immigrants" plan is as brain-dead as "mine the border."

Neither will happen, so why waste brain cells discussing them?

There is a solution, but our govt won't do it, because it would work.

This is a Republican??????

You bet. She is a Texas G.W. Bush Republican so y'all leave her alone!

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

I'm suprised the San Jacinto Monument didn't just come crashing to the ground!

[Happy2BMe]

That one cracks me up.

Strayhorn sure won't get our vote, and Perry just lost it too.

In full agreement!

Like an Ostrich, Ms. Strayhorn has her head in a deep black hole! Strayhorn should first apprentice in Nuevo Laredo with El Presidente Vincente Fox. If they survive, then, and only then, will they both fully understand what's going on.

The one aspect of all this I find most bizarre is that the "stupid party" (hispandering GOP Big Tent full of RINOs, liberals and moderates) is either unaware they have pretty much lost their conservative base, or are aware of that, but don't consider it important because they expect to pick up that 30% - 35% through increased hispandering plus attracting more of those wonderful middle-of-the-roaders ("moderates" who stand for nothing).

Loyal American conservatives, at least the ones I know about, have given up on the GOP because it no longer has an agenda that is even remotely conservative. For the first time, I am hearing people say "no more voting for the least worst".

Could it be possible this article is completely wrong? Will Ms Strayhorn release a statement denying these statements with a clear explanation? I have first hand info that this may actually occur...

Carole Keeton Strayhorn (formerly McClellan, formerly Rylander) is the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts since 1998 (re-elected 2002). Strayhorn switched affiliation to the Republican Party in 1985. She is currently running to be Governor of Texas.

Strayhorn is the daughter of the late Page Keeton, former Dean of the University of Texas Law School. She is the mother of White House Press Secretary and Plame affair grand jury witness Scott McClellan (who was Strayhorn's campaign manager three times), and Mark McClellan, who is currently director of Medicare for the Bush Administration and who previously served as Food and Drug Administration Commissioner. Her son Brad McClellan is a former Assistant Attorney General for Texas, where he headed the state's workers' compensation section and is now the manager for his mother's gubernatorial campaign.

As Carole Keeton McClellan, she was the first female mayor (1977-1983) and school board president of Austin, Texas. As Carole Keeton Rylander, she was the first female elected to the Texas Railroad Commission.

She has publicly feuded with current Texas governor Rick Perry over issues such as school finance reform and is running for Governor of Texas during the next election against Rick Perry.

She is currently married to jewelry designer and construction businessman Ed Strayhorn.

She's a RINO who will do or say anything to get and maintain power.

[planekT]

"Immigrants, legal or otherwise, come to Texas to "put a roof over their heads"

Well, that's easy for her to say. It isn't her money!

So, this rules her out as far as getting my vote. Of course she wasn't going to get it even before she said this. Time for a little ditty now.

"Perry's a Rino, but still is less stinky
Then this idiot Strayhorn
I guess that leaves Kinky"

Wow. What choices we're looking at. They all suck!
