Ro_Thunder is not posting facts, he's posting out-right lies:
"Anti-death penalty.
Anti-2nd amendment.
Pro-drugs. "
Kinky on capital punishment...
Kinky is not anti-death-penalty, but he IS "anti-the-wrong-guy-getting-executed."
On the 2nd amendement...
"The second amendment is every bit as important as the others. Texans have the right to keep and bear arms, as well as to hunt."
On abortion...
"I’m not pro-choice and I’m not pro-life. I’m pro-football!"
On drugs...
"Friedman opposes putting nonviolent drug addicts in prison, preferring rehabilitation services."
This is hardly "pro-drugs".
But hey, don't let the real facts get in the way of Ro_Thunder's phony facts.
One thing that none of the pro Gov Goodhair shrills on this board will answer is this. What does it say when a sittign republican governor in as conservative state as TX, who si the personal friend of GWB can only get about 35% of the votes in most polls. Especially considering who he is running against.
Way to regurgitate the blurbs off Kinky's webpage.
Sure, his web administrator put this info:
Q: What's Kinky's position on capital punishment?
A: Kinky is not anti-death-penalty, but he IS "anti-the-wrong-guy-getting-executed." Texas needs to take a serious look at the way it implements capital punishment—no one in this state wants the blood of innocent people on their hands.
But - he's said in the past numerous times that he's against the death penalty. Period.
He's also had interviews where he's been against guns - period. Not just for self defense, not just for huntin, but not at all.
And - as for the abortion, what an assinine comment. Frankly, it's not worthy of a response.
Q: What is Kinky's position on gay marriage?
A: Kinky supports gay marriage and equal rights for homosexuals. He believes that the constitution protects everyone. As he says, "I believe love is bigger than government. And besides, they have a right to be as miserable as the rest of us."
Those ARE facts, as he (and/or his webmaster) put them.
