no too long ago a s. Florida community elected a very charismatic 18yr old mayor.  it took him 3 months to mess up an already messed up town.  kinky friedman strikes me as an ancient 18yr old.  I'm sure glad cooler heads will prevail in texas.

rpm... if you like one issue and vote or... worse yet.. contribute on that basis.... I have no problem with that.   I often vote on nothing more than second amendment rights...  more important in my opinion but... one issue.

Now, for you all saying kinky is not a socialist... simply go to the website that rpm has listed earlier... While kinky is not big on explaining his ideas... one can eaisily see that he leans very heavily to the left.

I would be interested in his views on gun owners rights and the second.

His stand on socialized medicine is enough for me to fear him...  rpm likes that he is continueing to prop up the public school system and take away choice by avoiding vouchers... These are some of the worst aspects of socialism to me.

but...but...but...what about "one tough grandma"?

Actually, I think Skuzzy's right: we need to get more involved at the local, grass-roots level, participate those pre-election party meetings, you know, the ones where you vote on the planks you want your candidate to support, etc....I can't remember squat right now, but that's the only way to really get anything accomplished.

I need sleep...ciao....ZZzzz...

Q: What's Kinky's feeling on gun control?
A: 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.



I'm voting for Kinky. I agree with his stance on more issues than any of the other options. I don't agree on all the issues, but enough to give him my vote.

is Kinky Friedman related to Squeaky Fromme?  the names resonate with each other as if they are somehow intertwined?  I know both reside in texas......

From the kinky website:


The one and only debate between the top four contenders for Texas governor will be held Friday night at 7PM. Encourage your friends and family to watch this debate and see the candidates in action.

Check your local listings here to see which station will be showing the debates, and cheer on the Kinkster as he outsmarts, outwits, and outperforms "Goodhair", "Grandma", and the democrat."


This oughta make for some good tv tonite...lol

One thing you have to understand, lazs. Just because I like and plan to vote for someone does not make them teh evil. At least I'm not sheeple enough to just sit back, do nothing and moan about how bad things are.

indy.. his quote on gun control is pretty much the same thing all democrats say and then vote for more restrictive gun laws...  I mean...  he can say..."well, I didn't mean texans could own that kind of gun"  or... "they don't need that gun for hunting"   this is standard democrat.   It is like kerrie shooting skeet... proves nothing.

rpm..   "doing something" is much worse than doing little (voting, writing talking to people BB etc.) if that "something" is making things worse.

one could say that they are "doing something" about cancer by giving cancer patients a leathal injection.

I have no doubt that kinky is witty and clever but... his website shows a disturbing lack of forthrightness and honesty... platitudes and soundbites.... skirting the issues but all the while... the socialist big government solution threads through it.

The guy is a socialist... if that sounds good to ya... vote for him.   Based on what I have seen I sure don't want the guy in any office I can think of.

Well it's quite obvious that you did'nt watch the Texas Gubenatorial Debate. Perry got pwn3d and Kinky came off looking like the next Governor.

Actually, no one really came out the clear winner.  BUT, Kinky was the only one that didn't come across as being rehearsed and reading from a memorized script.  Perry was the most composed but you could tell he was just towing the Republican line, he stated nothing new.  Of course, neither did Bell or Grandma.

Storch, I don't think assuming others care or regard our opinions is an assumption of this bbs.

so let me get this straight...  all rpm cares about is how witty the candidate is?

guys... simply look at kinky's website... it is socialist democrat pablum...

in kalifornia we vote for movie stars...  at least we pick ones that aren't as left as their opponents.

you guys are trying to elect an "outlaw"  country and western singer who is more socialist than the worst democrat in the race.

One result is the same...  the movie star and the cowboy are fun to watch and listen to... that in itself is a good thing comparitively speaking but...  

Can't you guys at least find a country singer that isn't stalin?
