Governor of the Republic of Texas
« on: August 17, 2009, 10:30:27 AM »
Team,

Was watching the 'news' earlier and saw a story on the Texas elections.  Now I know there's a bunch of Texans here, and I wanted to get opinions.  Foreigners are welcome as well. ;)

Who has your support and why?

Perry, because he is willing to talk about secession and signed the Sovereignty Bill

That covers it for me!!!

PERRY, because he does most of what I want a politician to do, which is nothing. I did not like the south Texas corridor deal, but he has been very good on 2A, and CCW, as has most of our present representatives in Austin. He is really behind the troops as well, Got a pic from my buddy at the american embassy in Iraq, with He and Perry, at 8am, news did'nt put it out til after noon, He just snuck in there to see the troops. I wish K Bailey would just come home and retire, And Sam Johnson would take her place, but he is getting old.

Good stuff.  I agree, politicians shouldn't do anything until they're told, to many worry about making their 'legacy'.  The same issues bother me as well, the Corridor, HPV vaccine, but recently he seems to have cleaned up his act.  Also, I'm digging the new stance towards Texas national security, the Governor's office is putting some much more aggressive policies in place.  And his new found openness to tell the truth about the Feds is got me all giddy.  I saw him on the news giving this speech and I felt the sudden urge to start cleaning my carbine.

Tom and M25 nailed it all for me and Tom doesn't even live here. Why is that???

Plus I love a guy who can appreciate one of the finer manufactures in Texas.

He toured the LaRue Tactical factory... LUCKY SOB!

 Perry owns a carbine in which he gets good groups with. What concerns me is while "talking" seceding and voting in  the 10 th amendment here he is "doing"  things that fall in line with the globalists such as trying to sell the lottery and making all our roads toll roads. I think any body can be in too long. I think Kay Bailey and Bill White will run against him. Then they will throw in Kinky Friedman to confuse everybody. Kay was real upset when she moved to Washington and had to dismantle her .357 and keep it locked up. She would be good, but I really want Chuck Norris as President of Texas.

They used to have tourism ads for Texas, and the punchline was:

"Texas, like it's own little country."  or something very similar....

That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
