I hope he supports Gregg Abbott to fill the post. That's who I support!

Here is an earlier thread. I should have pinged my TX list, but never found a source link.

I just hope he retires in Texas and doesn’t get some idea that he wants to run for President again......I would not mind but he loves those illegal aliens too much and that is the last thing we need....another compassionate conservative.

Is Abbott the best the Republican Party in Texas has to offer? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2300791/posts

I’m glad Gov Perry made this decision now. He wouldn’t be Governor if Kinky Friedman hadn’t siphoned off 12% of Texas voters from the dems. Thank you Kinky!

p.s. saw Kinky in the grocery store Friday. We shook hands and exchanged the usual pleasantries. He lays his cigar in one of the potted plants just outside the door and picks it back up on his way out. The man is a walking caricature and my favorite Jewish cowboy.

Fantastic. Here’s hoping we don’t put a bigger RINO in there to replace him.

I would love to have Abbott for Governor. But if that happens, we have lost one of the best AG’s in the U.S. Because of our political system, the AG does actually have more authority than the Governor.

Just doesn’t seem to me that there is anyone waiting in the wings to take Abbott’s place.

I support Gregg Abbott too.

Will he become a lobbyist for La Raza?

[County Agent Hank Kimball]

There are three reasons Perry isn’t going to run again.

1) He’s considering another run for the White House.

2) He’s had his fill of Austin.

3) Ooops. I can’t remember the third reason.

Sorry.
