Do you mean former Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin v. former Wharton County Republican Chairwoman Debra Medina? This is an apples to oranges comparison.pbwalker wrote:I'm curious if everyone who is Anti-Medina are also Anti-Palin...
My ill-advised comment was not based upon any hard evidence and I should have kept it to myself. There is no hidden meaning or hint and Medina supporters should not be deterred for fear that she does not support the Second Amendment. I will say this much, Rick Perry has a proven track record of supporting gun owners and this is why a TSRA/NRA grade based upon an elected official's record is more reliable that a candidates questionnaire alone.

I'm voting for Rick Perry because I want Rick Perry as Governor. I find it interesting when people with opposing views and who support unelectable candidates resort to the erroneous claims that voting for [fill in the blank] is voting for "the lesser of two evils." Medina is not qualified to be Governor; she is not nearly as pro-2A as you might believe; she is rather clearly a Libertarian and I don't agree with their very liberal stance on social issues. You can support her if you wish, but don't tell me I'm voting for the lesser of two evils.Dragonfighter wrote:<RANT>Charles L.

Chas.
The reality? That is exactly the attitude that has us where we are, choosing between the lesser of two evils and furthering the power hungry machine; same song different verse. Perry is strong in CHL though he doesn't seem to want to change the climate making CHL an additional option but allowing the rest of us subjects to carry as well. The requirement of a CHL IS an infringement.
So by all means, let's not waste our votes in the primary. Let's not run the risk of letting the "more evil" ones have a chance. Let's all bet on the favorite and ensure four more years of imminent domain abuses, foreign levy's through toll roads and favored status to the pharmaceutical contributors foisting more and more dangerous medical practices on us in mandates...oh geez.
Hey, we'll still have our $150.00 privilege of CHL though.

BTW, notice I haven't posted Hutchison's or the Governor's response? Because they haven't bothered to provide one.
