Gov. Perry defeats Hutchison in Texas GOP primary

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – Texas Gov. Rick Perry tapped into a rising wave of anti-Washington ire and rode it to an easy Republican primary win over Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, once seen as the candidate who could block his march toward four more years in the state’s highest office.

Perry emerged from the rancorous battle with Texas’ senior senator and a third candidate backed by some in the tea party movement to face a Democrat in many ways his polar opposite. Former Houston Mayor Bill White, a calm consensus-builder, easily defeated six opponents to win his party’s nomination.

Shortly after Hutchison called him to concede, Perry continued his non-stop attack on the nation’s capital, slamming Washington on spending, job losses and the heath care debate.

“Texas voters said no to Washington bureaucrats … and yes to leadership that controls spending, fights for individual freedoms and the United States Constitution,” Perry told cheering supporters at the famous Salt Lick barbecue restaurant in Driftwood, just outside Austin. “Hardworking Texans sent a simple, compelling message to Washington: Quit spending all the money!”

The people of Texas have spoken. Rick Perry is the winner in the Texas GOP primary, and that should send a bit of a chill down Kay Bailey Hutchison’s back. Now she has a good idea of exactly where she stands in the eyes of Texas voters.

With nearly all precincts reporting, Perry had 51 percent to Hutchison’s 30 percent. He managed to avoid a runoff even though nearly one in five voters cast ballots for the third candidate – Debra Medina, a GOP party activist who has strong libertarian leanings and supporters in the tea party movement.

The LAME Stream Media, for some odd reason, seems to think that Debra Medina was the main candidate in this race. They appear to believe that Medina was the darling of The TEA Party too.

She was not.

Medina did have some support within the ranks of The TEA Party, something close to the 17 or 18% she received from ALL voters I am guessing. I won’t further denigrate Ms. Medina, she is a *done deal* and there’s no need to beat a dead horse, but the media, in true fashion, once again gets it wrong about Medina and The TEA Party.

Regarding Kay Bailey Hutchison, she is a LIAR of the 1st order.

Throw out Congress and the Senate! Really?

February 16th, 2010 . by TexasFred
Throw out Congress and the Senate! Really?

Lately, many of my contemporaries have made their feelings known concerning the current (rotten) crop we have in Congress and the Senate. They feel that we need to *FIRE ALL OF EM* and start over with a fresh batch.

Rob, my good friend from American and Proud said this:

at this point, throwing the baby out with the bathwater is NOT a bad idea.

When a company/corporation becomes unprofitable due to its employees what do they do? They shut down, lay EVERYONE off for a couple of weeks while they reorganize. THEN they call back those employees that WERE Doing their jobs.

I suggest we treat our employees CONGRESS in the same fashion, throw em all out and then at the next election urge those FEW GOOD ones that were “Purged” to “Rehire”…

I love Rob like a brother, but the above got me to thinking. I hear many say basically the same thing. I read it in their blogs, I read it in the multitude of email I receive every day, and it’s always the same thing, *THROW EM ALL OUT*…

So, during that time, between the throwing them ALL out and re-electing the good ones, what do we do for a government? How does the USA continue to operate in that interim period? And how do we guarantee that the GOOD ones will be re-elected?

As I have said prior, throwing them ALL out is a highly impractical viewpoint. The USA can’t just throw them out and place some bunch in Congress *willy-nilly* and hope they don’t destroy America in the time frame they are allotted.

I have seen a bit of business AND corporate America in my lifetime, and I have never seen a successful wholesale firing take place, one in which EVERY employee was fired and then the good ones picked over and brought back at leisure. Not one that wasn’t intended to permanently dismantle the organization suffering this mass firing to begin with.

An example you ask? OK, try this, “Joe, you’re doing a great job here at XYZ Corp, but the guys 3 states over really suck, so, we’re gonna fire you AND them and then take a look at overall operations and reorganization, but hey, we’ll call you…. No, really…. We will…. “

If you want to dismantle the U.S. government, you’d better have a standby in the wings, waiting for immediate implementation. Otherwise, this wholesale *Vote em ALL out* is utter nonsense.

We KNOW who the good ones are, we KNOW who the bad ones are, fire all of em? Really?

What do you do about the idiots that elected them in the 1st place?

We have an elected government, and until such time as ALL officials and law makers are appointed by a panel, the asshats will keep coming back. The idiots that elected them will keep on voting them back in many cases.

And that brings up another point, WHO picks the panels that picks the government?

It’s about changing attitudes, and voter education, not firing the entire Congress,

You build a Conservative nation and by edict, do away with the faggots, ILLEGALS, dope-heads, abortion loving libbers, atheists and all of the assorted persons that have caused this nation, and our government to become the liberal dung heap it is and you solve the problem. Right?

Wrong! I must point out, when, or IF we do that elimination, then we have become the NAZIs all over again, or, at the very least, a lot more like the Muslims than I care to admit.

Freedom has a price, and suffering through the administrations of freely elected idiots is one of those prices we pay. It’s not so much the people IN Congress as it is the people that send them TO Congress.

What do you do about the people that keep sending Boxer, Pelosi, Feinstein and the like to Washington? What about the people that sent Ted Kennedy and John Murtha back for decades? It’s about the electorate and waking them up as much as anything.

Two words for you, TERM LIMITS!

It’s about returning Conservative and Christian principles to this nation, and it can’t be done by firing anyone, it’s got to be done through voter education and then sending those Christian Conservatives to Washington, in great numbers, and having them repeal the BS that has torn this nation down.

Is Sarah Palin a TRUE Conservative?

February 2nd, 2010 . by TexasFred
Is Sarah Palin a TRUE Conservative?
WASHINGTON – Sarah Palin and Sen. John McCain plan to campaign together again.

The Arizona Republican announced Wednesday that the former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential candidate will join him in Phoenix on March 26 to help campaign for his re-election to the U.S. Senate.

Palin is scheduled to attend a private fundraising event that evening. The next day, she and McCain will appear together at a public event, likely a rally, according to McCain spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan.

“I’m looking forward to getting back on the campaign trail with my former running mate, and I know my fellow Arizonans will welcome her, as well,” McCain said in a statement. “Sarah energized our nation and remains a leading voice in the Republican Party.”

Palin to campaign for McCain in Arizona

OK, lets cut the crap and go straight to The Chase.

I may lose a few readers and fans over what I am about to say, but that’s the breaks.

I am NOT a fan of Sarah Palin. I have long said so. I believe that if Sarah Palin is the BEST the RNC can offer up, we are is some seriously deep poop. I said it when she was running with McCain on the GOP ticket and I say it now as she once again supports McCain. I have made it a topic in more than a few posts on this blog and I have yet to see anything to convince me otherwise.

Supporting John McCain now is just further proof that Palin is NOT a Conservative!

John McCain is a used up RINO. He is a wild card. You never know what McCain is going to do or who he’s going to side with. If Palin supporting him doesn’t open your eyes to the the lack of Conservatism that Sarah Palin possesses, I don’t guess anything will.

I don’t know about you, but to my way of thinking, if someone supports, and campaigns for a RINO, and make NO mistake about it, John McCain IS a RINO, that tends to make me believe that this individual supporter is quite likely a RINO too.

The Democrat party is now openly socialist while today’s Republican party is the Democrat party of 20 years ago. The results of these leftist shifts are plainly seen today with obscene deficits, a huge and growing federal government, misguided foreign policy and rising taxes on an already over-taxed working family. Conservatives have had enough! SOURCE

I could not have said it any better myself.

Barack Hussein Obama – Shameful Narcissistic Politician

November 7th, 2009 . by TexasFred

Barack Hussein Obama – Shameful Narcissistic Politician

If you are easily offended I suggest you click OFF of this post right now.  The video from YouTube is bad enough, but the words I have posted after it are NOT nice, they are NOT politically correct and some will find them offensive.

You have been warned!

Barack Hussein Obama is the most self-centered, egotistical, narcissistic, son of a BITCH to ever shame the people of this nation.

His reaction to the massacre at Ft. Hood, his acknowledgement of his cronies in the room, his *shout out* to Dr. Joe Medicine Crow, not to take anything away from a MoH winner, but Obama needed to address more pressing matters. All of this showed the entire world exactly how shallow this narcissistic bastard son of a Muslim goat lover really is.

I have voiced my concerns, and fears, about radical Islam in America. It is REAL, it is HERE and we are only seeing a small representation of it right now. I have been called a racist and bigot for my stand against Islam and their minions of terror.

I have been accused of being anti-Islamic, and THAT is a true accusation, I AM anti-Islamic and I make NO secret of it. 

Look at it this way, who commits 99% of ALL terrorist acts across the world? Islamic warriors. Do you see Muslims standing against these actions? Do you see Muslims taking to the street to pledge their love and loyalty to the USA?

I learned all I need to know about Islam when Marine Barracks Beirut was taken down. Sept. 11, 2001 sealed the deal for me. Islam IS the enemy of the United States and FREE people everywhere.

Barack Hussein Obama has made his views clear to everyone, as clear as this uh, um mm, speaker can make himself. On Thursday we saw the Obama reaction in an unplugged, spontaneous format.

His handlers didn’t prep him. His speech writers didn’t give him a script to follow on the teleprompter, and as a result, the REAL Obama, the POLITICIAN Obama came through. The Obama that has to speak of *other things* before he could speak of the tragedy our nation was suffering. That is simply unacceptable.

Barack Hussein Obama says we’re not at war with Islam? Barack Hussein Obama is WRONG!
