Perry. I just get the feeling that Sanchez is well funded, but doesn't have a clue about what's going on, or any idea how to fix it. He has no political experience. His banking stuff sounds shady. And the fact that he hasn't voted in over 10 years -- including the governors races -- shows me he really doesn't care. Perry has his flaws, but he's been in the office and has done a pretty good job. He won't have to waste a legislative session learning the job -- at a time when we really need some insurance reform pushed through.
Hmm, yes, new guy, nonchalant attitude, no appreciable vision, questionable business dealings, hasn't really ever done much, big money guy. Something about that sounds familiar but I just can't put my finger on it...............
Here's my write in candidate... Any 40+ year old guy that can still kick ass like that deserves my vote!
Perry or Sanchez... what difference would it make, they both support Bush, Sanchez has raised over $320,000 for him since 1995! source: Texas Monthly Vote Green!
I voting Green Party if they got a candidate running. Perry and Sanchez are a joke and I will not waste my vote on either of them.
Perry - he raised the speed limits back up from 55 to 65! Sanchez is a shady money-laundering, fake Democrat. Vote Ron Kirk for Senate.
I thought one's voting record was a private thing? How did they find out he hadn't voted in 10 yrs? Rocket River NONE OF THE ABOVE
Who one votes for is a private matter. But each voting precinct should be keeping record of who votes. Therefore there would be a record of whether someone voted in an election or not. All you would have to do is find someone that could access the voting records for a person's county and they could find out if they and when they voted. CK
i believe which primary you vote in is public record too...so you could tell who voted in the republican primary and who voted in the democratic primary
Tony Sanchez scares me. He wasted $161mm of tax-payer money through his failed Tesoro Savings & Loan venture, he doesn't even have the civic duty to vote, AND he backs a study on slave reparations. The last thing the state of Texas needs is a financial rookie with a track record of fraud. Heck, if he doesn't waste the money away through unsound decisions, then he'll take it out of your pocket and give it to descendants of former slaves. A lose-lose proposition. I'm voting for Rick Perry by process of elimination.
What DaDa said. I hope he's embarrassed enough to fix it now. Sanchez is a trial lawyer codebot. He would let the mold lawyers write homeowner's policies & hand the worker's comp system to chiropractors and personal injury ambulance chasers. Question aside : why IS a chiropractor authorized to treat respiratory illness? How does a chiropractor turn a finger injury into a back injury? Why is chiropractic treated with any more respect than phrenology? I don't get it.
I think you are right. That does not always tell the whole story, though. For the precinct where I live most people vote in the Democratic primary no matter what party they feel they are affiliated with. The reason being, in my county most Republicans run un-opposed in primaries and the Democratic races are where the heated battles take place. If I were to venture a guess, I would say that 85-90% of the Republicans in my district run unopposed (The only real contradiction to this is in state-wide and national races).
