AUSTIN, Texas – If he were running for governor of New York, Democrat Bill White would probably be considered a pro-gun enthusiast. He's got a shotgun and a 9 mm pistol... and says he'd like to sign up some day for a concealed weapons permit
Well, that doesn't impress me much - so do Diane Feinstein and Chuck Schumer.
And most lobbyists wanting to go through the Express line

I'm certainly with you, Deltaboy. Like your signature line too.

Bill White wrote:"I believe that people shouldn't steal guns and sell them to people where it's against the law for them to have guns, period."
In other words, Bill White supports laws that make it illegal to own guns, period.
Said another way, Bill doesn't believe that the right to keep and bear arms extends to all Americans.
Yep, Rick gets my vote again.

I'd really prefer Medina, but given the choices at hand Perry is the clear choice.

Even people who are not Perry supporters have plenty of reasons to vote against Bill White.

As one who enjoys a good poker game, I will swallow the bile from the back of my mouth right after I vote for Perry.

Got this in an e-mail from my Mother.
Something to really think about in the Nov election!!!
Please forward this to everyone you know that lives and or votes in Texas . Bill White is bad news. He handcuffed our police and decimated our fire dept. He is a straight running progressive/liberal and he will not close our borders and he will ruin our state economically YOU, must vote in the upcoming elections.
Rick Perry is not the best choice we ever had but of the two options, he is far superior. Houston , inner city is almost all Black, Latino, and Asian. There is a huge gay community, and many of the white voters work for the city and or county and are union. They say that Texas will go as Houston goes. If that happens we are screwed. Many of the options that Texas may have at this time will be lost under White's hand. Please get off your duff and
work to defeat Bill White in the up coming election for Governor of our great State of Texas .
Shelia Jackson Lee and Gene Green are both congressmen and their districts are Houston proper. Both support Obama and his agenda and both support Bill White. We are working to defeat Green and Lee and we already got rid of White in Houston . Do not be fooled, White does not represent the Republicans or Independents of Houston.
Liberal Democrat Bill White might beat Rick Perry in the general election; so for you guys outside of Houston you may be interested in knowing that White is a strong supporter of President Obama and his programs. White turned Houston into the biggest "sanctuary city" east of Los Angeles by refusing to let the Houston Police or ICE ask a criminal or even a suspect if they were in this country legally. So now we have the largest illegal alien population in the country outside of LA.
White, just recently the Mayor of Houston, left the city's financial cabinet bare. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina a few years ago, Dallas and San Antonio took in 5-10 thousand refugees each, White brought in 250,000 and put them up in his "buddies" empty apartment buildings and let the federal government pay their rents for over two years.
Time reports that White won landslide victories in the last two elections for Mayor. What you may not know is that the City of Houston does not have much more than 35% whites in their population. White is counting on Houston and his hometown of San Antonio to pull him through this election. He often bills himself as a conservative businessman, and that is likely how he will present himself in Dallas and west Texas . White did serve in the Clinton Administration and was formerly chairman of the Texas Democratic party and has a strong Democratic political base throughout Texas . He also has plenty of money.
We conservative folks are going to have to get serious about this stuff and do our best to keep the country together. My expertise is non-existent, but here is my theory: Obama and the liberals will push hard for immigrant amdebbnesty, thereby giving him another fifteen million votes. So whether or not everyone is upset with Obamacare he will get reelected unless we support a good candidate. That means with help here in our own state, but with a
few dollars to boot.
Just saying'......Want Obama Thinking in Texas ? Just thought you might be interested.

Personally, I don't see where any of this is relevant. There are plenty of reasons to oppose ANY liberal in the November elections that race should not come into play at all. These lines are race-baiting, nothing less, and conservatives would do very well to stay away from it. After all, the conservative movement is about individual liberty, no matter the race or skin color of said individual - or sexual orientation for that matter. I know several conservative gay people, but I know many more who would be conservative if not for many conservatives being so openly hostile to the gay community (which strikes me as hypocritical, seeing as how these same conservatives say they're for individual liberty).
Bottom line, there's enough room for everyone of every race, gender, creed, or orientation in the conservative tent. We're the ones who decry the liberals hyphenating everyone as African-American, Asian-American, Hispanic-American, etc. I would love to see the hyphens go the way of the daily ice and milk deliveries, and look forward to a time when every person in this great nation is (once again) simply American.
I, for one, always strive to judge a man by the content of his character and not by the color of his skin.

Well put, Kythas. Based on my ethnicity/religion/appearance & etc. most people would be very incorrect in their assumptions about my values. With that being said, most people would still be incorrect.
Read the book, ignore the cover.

“Bill White looked at me in the eye and told me that he didn’t think that guns belonged on campus,” Woods said, referring to a conversation at the “Netroots ‘N’ Boots Bash” in September.
He can say one thing, and actually do another, but in this case he is saying what he'll do as governor...
This is all we really need to know...
All he is is the best the Dems could come up with to run this time...

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/met ... 10073.htmlAUSTIN - Former Houston Mayor Bill White is starting his general election challenge to Republican Gov. Rick Perry with a $3 million advantage in money in the bank, according to finance reports released by their campaigns Thursday.
Southern Methodist University political scientist Cal Jillson said White's funds give him an advantage not held by Democratic candidates for governor in 1998 or 2006.
"They've had no money, no opportunity to get up on television. With Bill White, you'd have to say he's running with the wind in his hair — if he had any hair," Jillson said. But he added: "Money has to be in the service of message, and right now, White doesn't have a compelling message."
