If you are a Democrat and want to vote for Kinky....
Do us Democrats a favor and get out of the damn party.

This is not a damn game folks. Rick Perry has damaged this state for many years to come. Allowing him back into office will be yet another disaster.

Kinky is a joke. Either spend your time moving the other candidates to your positions, or get out of the damn party and do something useful like working for Perry or Kinky.

1. What JohnCoby said!
Unseating Perry is paramount. And by the way, why has no Dem filed for lieutenant governor yet?

2. Oh, come on, doesn't he just look like a governor?


See, my hope is that if we drum up his campaign, he'll take votes from Perry or Scottie's mom. He was strongly in favor of invading Iraq, I don't think he'll get too many Dem votes.

Then again, if we don't get a real candidate, it won't matter one bit. I'm hoping Bob Gammage catches on.

That Zorro would fight against.

5. What's wrong with Bell?

Other than he doesn't meet your definition of a "real" candidate, that is?

10. He makes Garry Mauro look like a contender.
Hey, I'll work hard to get him elected if he's all we've got. But I'll be surprised if he gets 45% of the vote. I'll be surprised if he gets 40%. He's an unknown without much stature outside the party. He's not the one who is going to convince a majority of Texans to throw off the Republican Party and vote for him.

I'll be thrilled to be proven wrong, for the record.

6. Nicely said John
I agree that if you're a Democrat and you're supporting Kinky then you really need to move along away from this party. Go be an Independent. You do not support Democratic values if you support Kinky. He is not a Democrat.

7. I was dismayed to learn some local DFA members support Kinky
And not just vote for him. They were talking about going to his events and actively campaigning for him! :mad:

8. Double mad from me
:mad::mad:

This guy is on record saying he wants forced nondenominational prayer in schools. What's progressive about that position? Keep your religion, of any sort, out of our public schools - period!
