There. Fixed it for ya.
Hutchison is no more liberal than Perry on practically any given issue of state politics. On a few such as taxes she's actually more conservative than Perry, or at least has a record of being consistent about where she stands. She was the lesser evil in this election, and before the lectures start trickling in about how she's supposedly a baby-eating abortionist I will preemptively point out that (1) Hutchison has a career National Right to Life voting record in the high 90's, and (2) Perry appointed abortionist Justice Xavier Rodriguez to the Texas Supreme Court, where he immediately ruled to weaken the parental notification statute by liberally construing the exemptions.
You are right of course. We keep getting the evil of two lessers, don’t we?
