I don't know what's sadder.  The fact that Kinky is a socialist, or that my candidate for Pennsylvania got sued off of the ballot from some insane restrictions.


I think I'll sit this one out and just hope that the revolution is 2 years closer as a result of it.

In 1836 there weren't a whole lot of native Texans that one could look up to.  I'll give Kinky a pass on this one.

Heck, even Gus and Woodrow were probably only in the late teens at this point.

Okay, How about Dan Rath... no... Clyde Barr... no.... T Boone Pick... no...

Ain't there anybody from Texas worth bein' a hero other than Willie and Dandy Don?

Maybe not up near Waco and Dallas.  Austin, definitely.

Assumption, not fact. If he does get elected and proves to be too far in that direction, I'll be disappointed. However, he is independent, and the major party candidates are all sold-out political hacks. I'm going with the one candidate I see who will be free to do as he sees fit.

he is a socialist of the highest order and dishonest about it besides.. his website is more obscure about what he believes in than any kalifornia politician.

Anyone who votes for him is either a socialist or extremely easily conned or... wants something that kinky is telling them he will take away from someone else to give them.

sad to see texans sinking to the kalifornia mentality..

lazs, you missed my point. My vote for Kinky isn't for any of the reasons you express, although I agree he's uncomfortably vague on many issues and does fall too far left on many that he's specific about. My vote is because:

1) The incumbent Republican is a proven scoundrel by virtue of his record as governor.

2) The two Democrat candidates seem like bought-and-paid-for political hacks to me.

3) I believe that in this case its better to throw the bastards out and let in the independent who doesn't have ties with the current major parties - even if its likely I won't like a lot of what he does. What I most want is to shake up the current corrupt bureacracy.

FYI, I am voting pretty much a straight Libertarian Party ticket otherwise. I actually am not happy that Kinky is the clear "least of the evils" candidate. I wish there was a candidate I could vote for because he's the one I really want in office.

Lazs, we have more California transplants than native Texans anymore. :)

If Kinky manages to win (doubt it) be prepared for a lot of frustration and disappointment.  If you think the seated parties in the Texas houses will allow him to accomplish anything, you are in for a big surprise.

They would, instead, be doing everything they can to discredit him while making him look like the bad guy.  Given how many of you actually believe the press, you would be ready to hang him after about 3 months.

Not saying voting ooutside the box is a bad thing, just do not allow yourself to believe it will actually do some good for Texas.
