Texas will re-elect Rick Perry, and Texas will continue to get better and better.

The choices for governor on the ballot this year are all horrible, IMHO. I will not vote for Perry because he favors more toll roads that already hit me in the pocket every time I drive to work. His current ads touting him as tough on the border are a joke. He did nothing about the border until he saw it was going to be a political issue. And I am against his privatizing the corridor as well. However, he has been great for business here - a positive for him. I wish we had a real conservative to vote for, but Perry is probably the closest. This year, I'll abstain in the governor section of the ballot.

I apologize for this post, because I don't have a dog in this hunt, but, I have to ask, why would you abstain from voting for governor, possibly handing the democrat a win, someone you obviously really don't agree with either. Are you tryng to punish the Republican for being a RINO? I guess I don't understand giving the liberal socialist who have campaigned on the issue of open borders, amnesty for every illegal that is already in our Country, and they don't believe Americans should be able to own guns at all.

Again, I am sorry for sticking my nose where it does not belong, I am trying to understand this kind of thinking is all.

Take another road, or take the access road. Nobody is forcing you to take a toll road.

"This year, I'll abstain in the governor section of the ballot."

Chalk one up for the RATs.

Please reconsider. Don't think of it as a vote for Perry. Think of it as a vote against the others. Bring a clothes pin along if you have to. :-)
