I am also voting Kinky.

Gov. Good-Hair pushed the business tax in Texas.

Besides, Texas governors have limited powers, far less than governors in other states. It's our Texas heritage to be distrustful of executive powers. The real power in Texas lies in the Lt. Governor, being head of the TX Senate.

Kinky wants to solve the 'education crisis' by giving teachers more money and not testing the students...lol. As a conservative from way back..I say it is time to TEST THE TEACHERS!! Kinky is giving in to pressure groups..don't be fooled!

If you say so. The Legislature seems to have the most power. Do not let anybody influence your mind, though.

Yah - but don't overlook one thing they can do - appointments. If the wrong person gets in and appoints libs/socialists to this post or that job, could really cause ruin and continue to haunt long after the Gov. that appointed them is gone.

 

Reminds me - there's a couple of characters running for two slots on a state appeals court that are bad news - need to get that arranged and posted around here somewhere.

If Kinkey can show a plan that can pass the Texas House and Senate that will give us property tax relief without a State Income Tax and show how he will enforce Texas Border Security via Texas law I will vote for him. Otherwise I will hold my nose and vote for Perry.

When hell freezes over two years in succession and Teddy Kennedy quits drinking and Bill Clinton tells the truth two days in a row I will vote for Strayhorn and immediately increase my psych meds. :)
