Election 2010

Health Care, Bill White and Border Patrol

 CONGRESSMAN TODD AKIN'S PRAYER

Fact check: Premiums would rise under Obama plan - Premiums are likely to keep going up even if the health care bill passes, experts say. If cost controls work as advertised, annual increases would level off with time. But don't look for a rollback. Instead, the main reason premiums would be more affordable is that new government tax credits would help cover the cost for millions of people.

The Associated Press has a nice hit piece on the proposed benefits of the Obama Health Care Reform bill. Even upon reading and comprehending the article one can easily see that semantics are the root support of this flawed piece.  Read More »


Beware of the Spin from Rick Perry!

King Perry: Stupid is as Stupid Does!

As I talk to friends and family about the upcoming Texas election where we have a chance to finally send that damn Aggie in Longhorn land packing … it dawned on me that Bill White will need to approach this race on the aggressive side and make King Perry defend every action for the past ten years.

For example, the budget … the economy is a land mine of an issue when it comes to politics for Democrats because one bad move and “boom” you have undermined your cause. Republicans are crafty and keen on distorting your words.

One shortcoming on White’s resume would have to be the City of Houston budget. It is not because he is at fault of the financial constraints we face … it is that he did not do enough to alienate himself from the problem to rid himself of any blame.  Read More »

Save the Date: Perry and Palin Stop in Houston!

Rick Perry and Sarah Palin to visit Houston in February!The circus is coming to Houston on Sunday, February 7, 2010!

Correction … Texas Republican Governor Rick Perry and former Alaska Republican Governor and Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin will be in the 713 for a rally supporting King Perry as he seeks to retain his throne from the one they call Kay Bailey-Hutchinson.

It is surprising that Palin has time to stump for anyone as she just joined FOX News as a contributor and is touring America as she attempts to bribe folks to read her book. Some people say, FOX News de facto phrase to insert their commentary in news reports, that Palin is stopping in Texas in order to gain some much needed Foreign Policy experience. She was told that you can see Mexico from Texas.
