I couldn't agree more. Perry signed the bogus hate crime bill (based on a phony incident in San Antonio) when he first got into office. I will not vote for Sanchez, but I will not vote for Perry either. Jerk off Republicans need to learn that they can loose their base even if it means someone like Sanchez gets elected. Screw Perry.
From my perspective as a gun owner, Sanchez' statement that he "backs the rights of sportmen" is a big tipoff that he'll sign any anti-gun bill out there, as long as some Elmer Fudd can still go out with a antique shotgun and blast away at ducks.
Sanchez is also corrupt as Hell. Also, I believe that under Sanchez we will end up with an income tax.
Perry may not be the greatest (and he certainly isn't), but sometimes you need to be practical. IMHO, it is better to work from the inside of a party that is mostly on your side, vs. pi$$ing into the wind by voting third party or not voting. That is what grass roots politics is all about, since no third party will ever have a chance at the higher levels. The reality is that the Demopubs and Republicrats have politics locked up at the national level and at the higher levels of all state governments (exceptions like Minnesota notwithstanding). Our only real hope as conservatives/libertarians (small "L") is to move the Republicrats to the right.
