Bill White was anti gun while he was mayor of Houston. I don’t think his position has changed.

Re: Bill White and the Democrats
The NRA-PVF rates White as a 'B'. In any other state, I'd say he's an 'A'.
He had the good sense to run, not walk, away from Bloomberg's MAIG group.
Overall? Meh.

Re: Bill White and the Democrats
Here's an indirect piece of info: He claims in his ads that he wants to secure the borders, but as mayor of Houston, he ran it as a sanctuary city. Where do most "sanctuary city" mayors sit on gun rights versus gun control?brazosriver wrote:I normally vote republican, but can anyone give me Bill Whites position on the current or future guns laws in Texas.

Re: Bill White and the Democrats
He claims to be pro gun. But then again, he's a politician and will say pretty much anything to get elected.
Perry may not be perfect, but he certainly supports our right to keep and bear arms, as has been proven by his signing of pro gun legislation.
I guess its up to you what to believe. Words or actions.

Re: Bill White and the Democrats
In my humble opinion....run as far and as fast as you can from this guy. I've lived in the H-town area since 2004 and I can tell you he is a seasoned POLITICIAN, but doesn't have the common sense God gave a goat....
Re: Bill White and the Democrats
Bill White was a member of Bloomberg's Mayors Against Handguns and resigned when he decided to run for Govenor, that speaks volumes to me.....

Re: Bill White and the Democrats
It speaks that he's a politician who knows it would be used against him in a statewide election. That doesn't say much in his favor.Salty1 wrote:Bill White was a member of Bloomberg's Mayors Against Handguns and resigned when he decided to run for Govenor, that speaks volumes to me.....

Re: Bill White and the Democrats
WOW Someone mentioned that Bill White should have gotten an A rating???? How quickly people let things slide. If he was stupid enough to get into the "Mayor's against your rights club" for any reason he deserves an F!!! But then Houston has not had any good canidates for mayor for a longggg time, heck look at the latest choices. I know no canidate is perfect but we do not need a liberal to quickly destroy this great state. Barry S. is doing a good enough job by himself. I need to stop before I get going to much. I will just leave you with these words "Sanctuary City"!!
Thanks for your time.

I saw a poll this morning that said there was only one point separating them, I find that hard to believe.

Re: Bill White and the Democrats
Whatever his other faults, and by me they are legion, Bill White is not a friend to the 2nd Amendment. He is a democrat and liberal. The fact that he had some success in business prior to deciding that he knew what was good for Houston better than the residents did, not withstanding.
Perry is in this case re-electable if for no other reason than being the lesser of two evils.

Read the latest on Jerry Brown. He continues to astound me, but for different reasons now...

Re: Bill White and the Democrats
I guess it depends what poll you are looking at. They had one on ABC13 last night that had Perry at 52% and White at 45%.Grammy wrote:I agree with you.The Annoyed Man wrote:Here's an indirect piece of info: He claims in his ads that he wants to secure the borders, but as mayor of Houston, he ran it as a sanctuary city.

Re: Bill White and the Democrats
Thank each of you for your advise, opinions. this year for me is a dificult choise. I admit I do not like Perry for numerous reasons. That is why I am trying to get information that will help me select the lesser of two evils. It seems too often that our political parties leave us in this position too often.
