Thoughts on the Governor’s Race
Although it looks like Perry is going to win again, it makes me sick that he is campaigning on border security after doing nothing for so long in Texas. He wouldn’t declare a state of emergency or send guard troops to the border until the political climate was just right. In fact, just a couple of weeks before the President came out on national television to announce moving the National Guard to the border, Perry called it a bad idea. Of course he changed his mind (kinda like Barack Obama has) soon after.
Chris Bell wants to fire Accenture and let the government take over healthcare…Canada anyone?
Gramma wants to shake Austin up, but as I’ve previously mentioned, she can’t be trusted.
Kinky doesn’t have a chance, and that’s probably a good thing, although he has seriously made me think about voting for him. I think legalizing casino gambling in Texas would be a positive thing. Also, I really like his honesty (most of the time).
At this point, if you like in Texas and can convince me that your smart, objective and frugal, I’ll write you in.
How about just living in Texas and having a big nose?
I’m kind of scared to say this…but I think Kinky is going to get my vote. I hope to write more about it on my blog, but when it comes down to it, here’s the deal.
There is a state highway by my apartment that taxpayers have already paid for but it is currently slated to be turned into a toll road. When I ask myself, “Self, who do you think is the candidate that would call this sham for what it is and try to stop it?” My self hesitanty answers back, “Kinky?”
Maybe it’s a narrow view…but that’s where I’m at today.
