You would think in a Red state like Texas, they could find someone better than Perry or KBH.

The King and Queen get entrenched and have their favors to call in thus making it hard to ever really kick one out. Perry has appointed nearly every person to all kind of state boards across Texas in his almost 10 years as governor. If he wins again it will be 14 years as governor. Most serve at his beck and call thus will do as told or get removed. That has built up a lot of political capital to call in. Hutchison doesn't appoint but has legislative avenues to help those she chooses and that builds up political capital.

I used to not be for term limits but in todays environment where the politicians think they are entitled to a job for life at the gov’t teat I've changed my mind. Limit them so they can't build up that kind of political power and restore it to the voters so that others may have a better opportunity to run and win.
