Kay Bailey is a very nice woman, but she is not a conservative. She's not a liberal, but she's not a conservative. What's one good taxpayer initiative she's challenged? She has defended the earmark process, and she voted for the bail-out. Enough said. Rick may not be great, but he is better than Kay by a long shot.

I think it’s time that we get a new faces in Austin. Rick is an alright but I think new blood is good. Rick is not a very good people person so I think Senator Hutchison has tried to help Texas and the Texas Border more than Rick has. He rarely ever mentions the Border stricken Violence. We need new faces in our State Government, too many back room talks are being discussed between friends and those who contribute to the Campaigns. A lot of arm twisting exists between lobbyist and Legislators. I believe the lobbyist have too much influence on our Legislators as to how laws are voted on and passed. Some of our Senators do what they are told by those who influence them the most and those who contributed to the campaigns. We need term limits not Life time memberships in Austin. Many of Legislators ask the lobbyist to help their families and promises to help pass their bill before them.

This lady only pretends to be a conservative Republican. She is pro-amnesty for illegal aliens. She voted for the bail-outs. Gov. Perry is not much better since he too, is a tax and spend kind of guy and loves the idea of amnesty for illegal aliens. I sure won't vote for Mrs. H, and I don't wish to hold my nose and vote again for Perry. So, any actual conservative republicans out there?

Putting Kay "Bailout" Hutchison and Gov. Perry in the same sentence is a disgrace to conservatives everywhere! Texas finds itself with a budget surplus because of Gov. Perry....KBH helped Washington, DC go on a spending spree. I will gladly vote for Gov. Perry again. Texas is the #1 place to do business and in better shape than the other 49 states! If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Neither Perry or Hutchinson is a qualified candidate. I will be looking for a new face. Hutchinson sold us out on the bailout of the financial industry. Perry just needs to retire.
If no other qualified republicans run, then it is time to look at a new third party or the democratic (heaven forbid)
candidate.

It is only because of a technicality that KBH escaped by the skin of her teeth getting convicted for using the State Treasurer's office for illegal money raising purposes.
This is not an inconsequential crime. The State of Texas had good reasons for passing laws against corruption like this. If we are to live down our State'e reputation for corruption, then we must not reward KBH with the Governor's office.
Who knows for what corruptive purposes she will use this office? Most likely to bring in her fatcat Republican special interests to feed off Texas' wealth.
KBH outright stinks on the issue of illegal immigration. She was the author of the Hutchison-Pence illegal alien amnesty bill, which thankfully failed, and her local office in Austin has been slamming the door in the face of representatives of the Immigration Reform Coalition of Texas.
We cannot get her to use her influence to institute ICE worksite raids in Austin, where illegal alien job thieves are stealing constructin jobs by the thousands.
The GOP has never had a good reputation for being on the side of the working man, and if they are to make any kind of comeback after the last two electoral disasters, they would do well to put forth better candidates than KBH. She had better hope her opponents don't play on this issue.

And Rick Perry should crawl away forever. He is the one who has brought us the Toll Roads!
