Hutchison runs a radio ad in TX that says she fought against the big stimulus of Obama, the same bill she voted for. Typical Washington stuff. Perry ain’t perfect but better than Kay Bailout.
This race also will feature Palin, campaigning for Perry, versus Dick Cheney, campaigning for Kay. Again, Palin is far more conservative than Cheney, particularly with regard to domestic policy.
Could you post a source link for this article? Thanks.
Hundreds of thousands of Mexican peasants are squatting on unimproved "subdivisions" in Texas AT AN ENORMOUS COST TO TAXPAYERS. On the federal level, Kay Bailey Hutchison, alone, has obtained more than $600 million dollars for "improving colonias," going back to 1993.
In Texas in 1989, the Legislature established a program to provide grants and loans for water and sewer services to border counties. Texas voters approved a $100 million bond issue that year and another $150 million in 1991. The Texas Water Development Board has awarded more than $500 million in state and federal money to install water and wastewater services in colonias. In 2005, lawmakers expanded the program's eligibility to the entire state. And in 2007, voters approved another $250 million in general obligation bonds so the Texas Water Development Board could provide water and wastewater infrastructure through the Economically Distressed Areas Program.
Why is this happening? Toleration for illegal immigration by elected officials like Hutchison. Why isn't it being stopped instead of encouraged? You get more of what you reward. Unscrupulous developers sell these illegals small patches of land with no water, no sewer, no drainage, no roads, no electricity, no gas, NO NOTHING. They set up their Third World cardboard shacks, and then a nice big government comes along and taxes other people to pay to provide them with water, sewer, drainage, roads, electricity and gas, conveniently allowing the developers to keep their ill-gotten gains. The developers return the favor by supporting the politicians who support these programs to "improve" colonias.
Both of them are stinking RINO politicians interested only in one thing .. the election of self.
Notice how both are trying to “outconservative” (if you grant me the ability to make that a word) themselves relative to the other. Pretty simple concept to me ... a CONSERVATIVE NEVER needs to TELL me HOW conservative he/she is. Actions are what speak. Take that for what it is worth.
No longer a TEXAS resident, but I know without a shadow of a doubt how I would vote.
Wow, pure campaigning, here.
I wanted to click on the American Statesman link, to check to see whether the medina link was yours or theirs. I think it must have been yours, but will have to look harder to find out, since you didn’t post that link.
No Way Kay should run as a democrat the way her voting record shows.
Yep, she’s been in DC too long and should stay there.
Be honest. Perry is in favor of strategic fencing with “boots on the ground” and empowered State law enforcement augmenting Border Patrol, elsewhere.
Haven’t you followed the lawsuits about people who are having their land divided by the fence, so that they can’t use that land for cattle and farming?
Poor Texas. First a Lesbian Mayor in Houston and now a HORRIBLE choice between two HORRIBLE candidates. I don’t know why people here slobber over Perry. I guess we have reevaluated what conservative is but I know conservatives don’t force folks to take a vaccine that they don’t want.
Where’s the link?
For those of you who think Perry is bad, wait until you have Kay Bailey. She is as bad as Obama.
Right! What ever happen to “Don’t Mess With Texas”? This is the state that is suppose to lead in the protection of gun possession and they elect a gay mayor for their largest city! Wow!
Poor Texas!!! Texas must be in the top 10 conservative states and they can’t find any to run????
Perry is unashamedly pro-life. He is a regular at our Pro-life rallies and meetings. He went far out of his way to push parental rights to protect our daughters and to support our Woman’s Right to Know Act.
Hutchison complains about Perry’s 10 years, conveniently forgetting that she promised to resign after 2 terms - and then claimed it wouldn’t be fair.
Since her first election, she and her staff have been hostile to my (and my mother’s, and other pro-life Texans’) urging her to be the one pro-life woman in the Senate. She can’t be bothered to make a single prolife speech, but she can sign off on letters urging President Bush to spend more federal money for embryo destruction.
Last week, she blew another opportunity to stand for life. While she voted against Boxer’s motion to table, she didn’t stand to speak for the innocent. She deigned to release a statement ( http://hutchison.senate.gov/pr120809c.html ) but obviously didn’t understand what it meant (”Hyde Amendment language” is nonsensical).
If the Governor’s choice was to resign and leave it to Hutchison or run again — -which should he have done?
You couldn’t be more wrong.
Cornyn’s only fault is that he supports Republicans as Chair of the Senate Republicans - probably out of some loyalty to a promise he made when he took the job.
In every other case, whether for life, the family, national defense and sovereignty and fiscal responsibility, he is right. As Texas’ Attorney General, he fought pro-life battles when he could have just let them slide.
Another one of those “between good and evil” choices. That’s why Houston just elected a gay mayor. She says it’s not about being gay then says her election is good for gays everywhere.
